Replace Hi-Cone Packaging with the Wraptor
The need for sustainable packaging machinery has been ever increasing the past few years, with legislation in Europe banning single-use plastics and Canada banning Hi-Cone rings specifically.
Consumers are also demanding more sustainable solutions, with 68% of Americans willing to pay more for environmentally friendly products, according to a 2023 report from PDI Technologies.(1)
More than ever, manufacturers need efficient, reliable machinery that can provide sustainability benefits.
One such machine is the Wraptor SHW-250 from R.A Jones. This multipacking machine replaces Hi-Cone plastic packaging with 100% paperboard material and a glue-less carton-forming process, making it ideal for beverage manufacturers who are looking for an eco-friendly edge.
A proven solution for many years, the Wraptor will ensure unit load stability without corrugated trays or plastic overwrap thanks to its smart engineering design. It’s also a similar size to most Hi-Cone multipacking machines, making it more compatible with existing production lines.
With the Wraptor, beverage manufacturers can choose between neck-through or over-the-crown wraps for bottles and cans ranging from 7.5 to 24 ounces at speeds of up to 250 wraps per minute. These cartoning styles also have the benefit of an elevated appearance with a larger surface area for branding.
Plus, with R.A Jones you also never have to worry about getting locked into expensive paperboard carton contracts. We supply the machine with no strings attached so you can find the most competitive pricing for your paperboard cartons.
