Secondary packaging is packaging stage used to group various pre-packaged (primary wrapped) products together. Additional packaging will be applied to the primary packaging and is used for protection and collation of individual units during storage, transport and distribution. Secondary packaging can be used in some sectors to display primary packs on shelf or to display multiple product units for sale, in order to speed restocking from stockroom to shelf. This form of secondary packaging is also known as retail-ready packaging (RRP), shelf-ready packaging (SRP) or counter-top display units (CDUs). Common packaging formats are cartons, cases or food tray / shrink-wrapped trays.

In a James Mae automated solution, any type of prepacked product in any type of packaging style can be handled, collated and if required, buffered. Our integrated custom carton / tray erectors and de-nesters can produce and load all types of packaging mediums to a secondary packaging system.

We can provide custom closing systems that tuck, fold and can use glue or tape to close any packaging style. Vision systems are also available to QC finished packs. Our flexible systems can be quickly and simply changed to other required packaging types without the need for tools.

We work with various quality manufacturers and their pick, place and heavy duty multi axis robots so that any speed or production application can be catered for. Product can also be automatically quality checked as part of a system prior to loading.

James Mae Group has over 40 years of experience in delivering quality systems to this sector.
