Tell us what you pack, your finished bag size, film and target output. Lancing will help you select the right machine and plan the infeed.
A useful recommendation starts with your real product, finished pack, film and sustained output—not the highest number in a brochure.
Share samples, dimensions and line information with Lancing. We will use them to check product feeding, film handling, seal performance, coding, controls and discharge before recommending the next step.

Your product shape, stability, feeding method and finished-pack requirement decide which flow-wrapping approach will work best.
Biscuits, cookies, snack bars, confectionery and other consistently fed products.
Food applicationsSoap, cosmetic kits, sponges and household products requiring a neat pillow pack.
Non-food applicationsFilters, small tools, components and grouped items with controlled infeed and discharge.
Industrial applicationsDedicated folding, wetting and sealed brick-pack production for tissue-based products.
Wet-wipes machineWe turn your product, pack and output requirements into a practical machine and line plan.
Provide minimum and maximum dimensions, weight, orientation, surface condition and representative samples.
Confirm the bag size, seal style, clear or printed film, barrier needs and any coding requirement.
Set the sustained packs-per-minute target from real upstream production, not just a peak machine figure.
Agree feeding, transfer, inspection, rejects, guarding, controls and downstream handling before installation.
Use these answers to prepare a stronger enquiry and compare machine proposals on the same basis.
A horizontal flow wrapper feeds products along a conveyor, forms a continuous reel of film around them, creates a longitudinal seal and closes each pack with transverse end seals. It is commonly used for regular products that can be presented in a controlled orientation.
Typical applications include biscuits, snack bars, confectionery, bakery products, soap, sponges, filters, small components, kits and wet-wipe packs. Product dimensions, stability, film choice and required seal integrity determine the final machine specification.
The LUZB350X listed machine speed range is 30–120 bags per minute. The LU-WP550A wet-wipes line is listed at 30–80 packs per minute. Achievable production speed depends on the product, film, pack length, infeed arrangement and upstream process.
Yes. Lancing can assess product transfer, infeed timing, guarding, coding, inspection, discharge and communications so the wrapper can operate as part of a wider packaging line.
Share the basics below and Lancing will help you narrow down the machine, film checks and next steps.
A useful quotation starts with the product, film, finished pack and sustained output. The machine then has to feed, register, seal and discharge that combination consistently rather than simply reach a catalogue speed.
Record the minimum, nominal and maximum product dimensions, then define the gap between products at the sealing jaws. Products that roll, bounce, deform, stick together or arrive randomly may need guides, flights, carriers, collating or an automatic infeed.
Supply the complete film construction, reel data, unwind direction and print-mark details. Seal quality depends on the sealant layer, temperature window, pressure, dwell time, jaw condition and keeping product or contamination out of the seal area.
State the good packs per minute required over a timed run. Include normal product variation, film changes, code checks, rejects and brief upstream or downstream stops so proposals are compared against a production target rather than an isolated peak.
Representative information reduces uncertainty and helps Lancing identify whether a standard horizontal flow wrapper, a dedicated wet-wipes line or a different packaging process is the correct route.
| Input | What to provide | What it helps confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Product samples | Normal production samples covering the smallest, largest and most difficult variants, with dimensions and weight. | Infeed method, guides, pitch, sealing-jaw clearance and product handling. |
| Finished pack | An approved sample or drawing showing bag length, bag width, seal position, end-seal appearance and coding area. | Former size, crimp-jaw format, cut position, print-to-cut requirement and pack presentation. |
| Film | Production reel or representative trial reel, technical data sheet, thickness, reel width and diameter, core, unwind and registration mark. | Mechanical fit, tracking, print registration and the workable sealing window. |
| Output conditions | Required sustained good packs per minute, batch length, product arrival pattern and acceptable changeover time. | Machine speed margin, infeed concept, buffering and acceptance-test duration. |
| Line interfaces | Conveyor heights, available footprint, upstream and downstream equipment, utilities, coding, inspection and reject requirements. | Transfers, controls, guarding, access and the scope of the integrated line. |
This site concentrates on horizontal flow wrapping and the dedicated wet-wipes application. Related Lancing sites cover different machine processes so each requirement can be directed to the most relevant specialist content.
Powders, granules, liquids or pastes that are dosed vertically into a bag normally belong with vertical form fill seal or sachet machinery.
Compare form fill seal machineryWhen the film must contract around a carton, tray, bottle group or retail pack, compare L-sealers, sleeve sealers and heat tunnels.
Compare shrink wrapping machineryProjects covering several packaging stages, common controls and end-of-line handling may need a wider line-level specification.
Plan a complete packaging lineSend representative production samples, not only ideal examples. Include the smallest and largest formats, normal dimensional variation, fragile or difficult products, approved finished packs and enough film for setup and a sustained run.
Vertical form fill seal is usually considered when a loose product is dosed downwards into a bag, for example powders or granules. Horizontal flow wrapping is normally used when a discrete product or controlled group travels along an infeed and is enclosed in film.
