Packaging solutions

Original products perfectly protected and presented

Packaging with Harro Höfliger is much more than simply wrapping a product to protect it from external influences and tampering. Our portfolio includes machines and technologies across the spectrum. For the most diverse products in folding cartons, tablet blisters in wallets and outer boxes, as well as other forms of packaging. Whether vials, syringes, pens, autoinjectors, blisters, or blow-fill-seal products: Our competence is a key part of a precise, efficient process in complex applications. And the modular machine concept of our systems – for quick format adaptations, individual closure variants, and the integration of product-specific feeding systems. Do you want more than just packaging? Then we bring in our turnkey competence to bear and design an individual line solution for your product.

Our expertise

Feeding seal pouches using a cycloid system. Vacuum grippers pick up the pouches and place them on the conveyor belt.

Labels with product-specific information are precisely applied on the four-side sealed pouches.

Erect feeding and horizontal placement of vials – product-friendly and safe on a turning wheel.

Safe and precise: picking up and transferring tubular bags into the cup chain using vacuum grippers.

Continuous feeding of flat blanks from the folding carton magazine. Active opening and transfer to the downstream station for product insertion.

Inserting vials into environmentally friendly cardboard inlays using pick-and-place, side loading of products and inserts into top-opening folding cartons.

Inline marking of folding cartons with serialization data using inkjet printers and reading the individual codes.

Erecting flat shipping carton blanks, active opening, and side loading of stacked products into a cyclic multi-case packer MCP.

Dispensing of package inserts onto syringe blisters using a friction feeder.

Erecting folding carton blanks using a cycloid system and placing them into the cup chain of an MKT cyclic cartoner.

Perfectly aligned system solutions

In focus: Your product

Side loading for top-opening folding cartons, environmentally friendly inlays made of mono-cardboard, handling of sensitive vials, and productive processing of bags with smooth surfaces. Regulatory requirements for product protection and traceability. Your product defines the process. Our approach is always the same: Firstly, we advise on packaging design and materials, then define the core processes, and integrate them into a tailored solution. Thanks to its modular design, it also packages your new products with ease.

Packaging

Cartoning and packaging machines: That’s where we started – it’s in our DNA. We have over 50 years of experience in designing safe and efficient processes for packaging your products in all types of folding cartons and shipping boxes.
