Snack products can be packaged in different types of boxes, depending on the distribution channel and the presentation at the point of sale. Multi-format lines allow working with different box designs on the same plant.

The most common formats are:

- CSR cardboard boxes
- Wrap-around boxes
- Ready-to-sell packaging
- Cardboard trays with film
- Boxes with base and lid
- Shipping boxes

What types of snacks can be automatically stacked?

Automated packaging systems can process a wide variety of snacks, adapting the clamping and grouping system to the geometry and stability of the product. This allows processing different types of products on the same production line.
Among the products that are usually processed are:
- Pillow bags or flowpacks
- Stand-up pouches or bags with a base
- Thermoformed trays
- Shrink-wrapped multipacks

Multi-format solutions allow you to work with different product sizes and box types through automatic format changeover. This reduces downtime and improves line availability in plants with multiple SKUs.

The system adapts to:

- Different bag sizes
- Changes in product orientation
- Variations in the number of units per box
- Different box models
- Different packaging patterns

The speed of the packaging system depends on the product characteristics and the design of the handling system. The solution is sized to meet the required speed without compromising stability or accuracy.

The main factors include:

- Line units per minute
- Number of products per cycle
- Product type (flexible or rigid)
- Grouping system
- Complexity of the loading pattern

Automated palletizing allows you to organize finished product boxes into stable patterns that facilitate transport and storage. The system adapts to different box types and load configurations.

The solution can include:

- Automatic palletizing pattern editing
- Interlayer dispenser
- Automatic pallet transfer
- Shrink wrap integration
- Automatic pattern management
