A Packaging Systems Partner, Not Just an Equipment Supplier

Improving a packaging operation rarely comes down to choosing one machine in isolation. The equipment, packaging material, product flow, printing requirements and operator all need to work together if a project is going to deliver reliable results.

Severn Packaging takes a systems-led approach, helping UK manufacturers, distributors, fulfilment operations and e-commerce businesses select machinery and materials around the real application. That includes reviewing the current process, testing products, specifying suitable consumables and providing installation, training and ongoing support.

Start With the Packaging Process

Before recommending equipment, it is important to understand what is being packed, the required output, available space, changeover frequency and where the current bottleneck occurs. A fast machine will not improve the operation if product presentation, labelling or downstream handling cannot keep pace.

Severn Packaging can review the process and arrange trials using representative products and packaging. This provides a more reliable basis for investment than choosing equipment from a headline specification alone.

Automatic Bagging Systems

For components, kits, spares and other small-to-medium products, the SEVERN-DT tabletop bagging machine opens and presents pre-opened bags ready for loading, heat-seals the completed pack and advances the next bag.

The SEVERN-DT is available in 200mm and 300mm configurations and can include optional SATO inline printing or a label-applicator version. It can operate as a flexible operator-loaded machine or communicate with upstream equipment through its automation-ready signalling.

Where volumes and product characteristics justify automated loading, automation and infeed options include the SEVERN-CC counting conveyor, SEVERN-CS counting scale and SEVERN-BF bowl feeder.

E-Commerce Packaging Automation

For varied fulfilment orders, the e-commerce bagging machine forms right-sized, four-side-sealed dispatch bags from roll-fed film. Inline labelling integrates the carrier-label stage, while two machine widths support different product and order profiles.

The most suitable system depends on product dimensions, daily volume, order data, carrier requirements and the way products arrive at the packing station. Application testing helps confirm achievable output and pack quality before installation.

Protective Packaging Systems

Protective packaging should prevent damage without slowing the packing process or using more material than necessary. The Cirrus inflatable packaging range produces air pillows, Multipocket cushioning and SoftLayer wrapping material on demand. For larger operations, delivery systems can supply one or multiple packing stations.

Paper-based alternatives include HexcelWrap for wrapping and interleaving, Hexafil for void fill and paper cushioning machines for blocking and bracing. Businesses generating suitable waste cartons can also use a cardboard shredder to produce reusable protective packaging material on site.

Pallet Wrapping Systems

Severn Packaging supplies Robopac pallet wrapping machinery for businesses looking to improve load consistency, reduce manual wrapping and control stretch-film application. The current range includes:

• Masterplat Plus turntable pallet wrappers
• Low-profile pallet wrappers for pallet-truck loading
• Robot S7 mobile pallet wrappers for varied or oversized loads
• Masterwrap HD Plus XL rotary-arm systems for unstable, fragile or heavy pallets

Shrink Wrapping Machinery

The Maripak shrink wrapping range covers retail presentation, product protection, multipacking and transit applications. Available systems include chamber shrink wrappers, L-sealers, automatic side sealers, sleeve wrappers and shrink tunnels, matched with polyolefin or polyethylene shrink film according to the application.

Packaging Materials Matched to the Machine

Reliable machinery performance depends on using the correct material. Severn Packaging supplies the consumables required across its core systems, including:

• Pre-opened auto bags in stock and custom sizes
• Auto bagging film and fan-folded mail bags
• Thermal transfer ribbons
• Air pillows, Multipocket and SoftLayer protective materials
• HexcelWrap, Hexafil and paper cushioning materials
• Polyolefin and polyethylene shrink film
• Hand and machine stretch film

Material trials, custom specifications and stock-holding arrangements can help improve reliability and protect continuity during busy periods.

Installation, Training and Aftercare

A successful project continues beyond delivery. Severn Packaging provides installation, operator training, application support and ongoing service for the systems it supplies. Customers also benefit from one point of contact for the machinery and its associated materials, making it easier to investigate performance issues and maintain consistent pack quality.

Why Work With Severn Packaging?

• Application-led recommendations based on products and process
• Demonstrations and trials before investment
• Machinery and matching materials from one specialist supplier
• Automation options that can develop as volumes grow
• UK installation, training and aftercare support
• Experience across manufacturing, distribution and fulfilment applications

Severn Packaging does not try to supply every packaging product. The focus is on carefully selected machinery and materials where the team can provide genuine application knowledge, dependable supply and long-term support.

Discuss Your Packaging Process

If you are reviewing a manual packing operation, planning an automation project or experiencing problems with an existing process, contact Severn Packaging to arrange a discussion, site review or product trial.
