Packaging of Tubs

Packaging of tubs requires special attention and precision. These products are typically made by combining various components, each of which may have different packaging needs. One of the most commonly used methods for packaging such products involves filling with a vertical filling machine, followed by cap sealing and labeling. This system provides a fast and efficient packaging process, increasing production line efficiency.

Packaging Process for Tubs

Filling with Vertical Filling Machines

The first step of the packaging process is to fill the products accurately using vertical filling machines. Tubs can be in liquid, cream, powder, or granule form. Vertical filling machines are automatic systems that ensure precise and fast placement of products into pouches or containers. These machines stand out with the following features:

• High Precision: Vertical filling machines ensure that a specific weight or volume of product is filled, guaranteeing that each package contains a consistent and accurate amount.
• Flexibility: Different types of tubs (e.g., mixed nuts, sweet mixes, powdered food products) can be easily filled using these machines. The system adapts to products with different viscosities and characteristics.
• Fast and Efficient: With automatic systems, the packaging process happens quickly, providing time savings for high-volume production.

Cap Sealing

After the vertical filling process is completed, it is essential to seal the containers properly. Cap sealing is a critical step to ensure the freshness of the products and protect them from external factors. The methods used in this stage are:

• High-Efficiency Sealing Systems: Caps are securely sealed onto the product packaging. This is done using automatic cap sealing machines, ensuring that each package is tightly sealed and the product remains secure without leakage.
• Cap Types: Depending on the type of tub, screw caps, clamp caps, or flip-top caps are commonly used. The choice of cap depends on the type of product and the functionality of the packaging.

Labeling

In the final stage of the packaging process, labeling is carried out. Labeling is important for brands to add product information, ingredient lists, nutritional values, and other necessary details to the packaging. Additionally, labeling can be used for marketing purposes, as correct labeling helps the product stand out on the shelves. The labeling process involves the following steps:

• Automatic Labeling Systems: Integrated automatic labeling systems with vertical filling machines ensure that the label is applied accurately and without error to the packages. The labels can include product details, the brand, and the manufacturing date.
• Aesthetics and Functionality: Labels are usually printed on transparent or colored materials. Features like barcodes or QR codes can also be added. The label design reflects the product’s quality and attracts the consumer’s attention.

Advantages

• Fast and Efficient Production: Vertical filling machines provide rapid packaging for large-volume production. The process is further accelerated with automatic cap sealing and labeling systems.
• Low Error Rate: Automation ensures that each product undergoes consistent and high-quality filling, sealing, and labeling, minimizing human errors.
• Product Safety: Vertical filling machines ensure that products are packaged under hygienic conditions. Proper cap sealing helps protect the product from external factors. Labels accurately present content information.
• Visual Appeal: Labeling is an important step for making tubs stand out on the shelves. Aesthetic label designs enhance the product’s visibility.

In conclusion, the vertical filling, cap sealing, and labeling processes for tubs offer an efficient, fast, and secure packaging solution. This packaging process helps ensure that products stay fresh, are well-protected, and visually appealing.
