Wrap Around Sleevers Market – Opportunity Assessment Research Study

Slide and sleeve packaging format is getting wide acceptance in the global market among multiple industries. Other than attractive aesthetics, the packaging is highly convenient for the consumer to open and reclose the packaging. Moreover, as the slide and sleeve packaging provides highly effective sealing that does not require much safety while transportation. These facts have led to the preference for sleeve packaging among consumers as well as primary product manufacturers. To enhance the overall productivity of the production, various packaging machinery are widely incorporated. Wrap around sleevers is highly preferred as they are suitable for almost every application.

The global paper & board packaging market was valued at around US$ 261 Bn in the year 2015 that is around one-third of the global packaging market. More than 90% of the paper & board packaging accounts for corrugated packaging.
Moreover, the global packaging machinery is estimated to account for around US$ 46.2 Bn in the year 2016. Cartoning machines segment accounts for around 9.3% of the global packaging machinery market. This segment includes not only cartoning but also case packaging machines and paper & board packaging machines. Majority of the cartoning and case packaging machines are capable of sleeve packaging also. Thus, the global market for sleeve packaging machines is estimated to be valued at more than US$ 3 Bn in 2016.
Servo controlled quick and automatic change over the system is the update introduced in most of the packaging machinery and is has got wide acceptance in the global market of wrap around sleevers. To make the machines more ergonomic such that the possibility of error from the operator side is minimized, high-quality display and touch screen control panels are incorporated in wrap around sleevers. Allen Bradley and Siemens are the multinational companies whose products are widely used by the packaging machinery manufacturers. To reduce the wastage and enhance the productivity, various safety features are added to the wrap around sleevers, such as no carton skip load or no product skip carton control, overload protection, full diagnostic fault and few others. Power carton magazine is incorporated in the high-end wrap around sleevers that pushes the carton on its own when the product is available for packaging. A low-level indicator is provided with the power carton magazine that informs the operator about less number of cartons available and thus ensures continuous operation.
As 90% of the paper & board packaging accounts for corrugated packaging only, thus the demand of corrugated carton sleeve is expected to be more than that of paperboard sleeve. Corrugated packaging is applied for the packaging of large and heavy items, and thus, the wrap around sleever used for corrugated carton sleeve packaging handles a heavier load, consumes more power and costs much more as compared to wrap around sleevers for paperboard packaging. Therefore, this segmentation is preferred for pricing analysis of the wrap around sleevers market.

Chub Films Market – Applications, Regional Analysis, Key Players And Forecasts By 2027

Chub packaging is cylindrical shaped semi-rigid tubes which is clipped or twist tied through clips or metal fasteners respectively at either ends. Chub packaging is used to pack soft food products including pet food, taco meat, salami, chorizo, sausage, ground turkey, ground beef among others. Unprinted, white or printed multi-layer films which are usually developed through co-extrusion are used to pack food products in chub packaging format. Printed chub films are commonly used to pack case-ready products. In comparison to tray-based packaging for food products, chub packaging is lighter in weight, reduces the amount of packaging material and reduces transportation cost. Thus, chub packaging is more sustainable than tray-packaging.
Chub packaging also extends the shelf life of packaged products and have high barrier properties, puncture resistant, sealability among others. Chub films have high oxygen and moisture barrier properties. The multi-layer film that is used for chub packaging of products includes an oxygen barrier layer, nylon layer, polyethylene layer, abuse layer, heat sealable layer among others.
The main factors driving the chub films packaging market is increase in number of packaging units per unit time, thus increasing line speed and reducing leaker rates.
From January 2017, U.S. based global food producer Cargill in collaboration with global packaging supplier Bemis developed a chub film packaging brand EZ Peel for packaging ground beefs in the U.S. Cargill did a market survey 2015 Cargill Innovation Study that showed that ~57% consumers of ground beef in the U.S. wanted a packaging that allowed them to open the chub packaging without touching raw meat. Cargill is providing Our Certfied brand of ground beef with EZ Peel feature across retail stores in the U.S. Cargill’s Our Certified brand of ground beef have a shelf life of ~21 days.
In July 2008, Flexopack patented a film for chub packaging. The film was invented by George Roussou. Chub packages are produced by using a vertical form fill seal (VFFS) process. In VFFS process a tube is formed from a flat roll of a film. The vertical tube formed is sealed at one end using metal fasteners or clips. The soft food product such as ground beef is pumped in by a pumping equipment at the open end of the tube and then the top is sealed through metal fasteners or clips.
The global chub films market has been bifurcated into seven key regions such as North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific excluding Japan, Middle East and Africa, Latin America and Japan.
