Best-fit applications

Where this sleeve applicator route usually fits.

Horizontal sleeving is useful when the pack format drives the machine choice. Lancing can compare a horizontal system with rotary or inline handling depending on samples and target output.

  • Lipsticks, vials, mascara-style packs and small tubes
  • Slim products that fall over on an upright conveyor
  • Small cylindrical or square packs requiring sleeve labels
  • High-volume small product sleeve applications
  • Product diameter, length and shape
  • Whether the pack can roll or needs pocketed support
  • Sleeve opening and placement while horizontal
  • Tunnel transfer and product spacing
  • Output requirement and changeover range
