Overview
A premium chocolate producer needed custom printed flow wrap packaging for a 1 oz chocolate peanut butter cup. The package needed to look clean and professional while running correctly on a horizontal flow wrapper.
Bags Etc helped review the product, coordinate the custom printed roll stock film layout, and test the packaging on the intended flow wrapping platform before production.
The Challenge
Flow wrapping a small chocolate product requires more than attractive printed film. The film must track correctly, seal reliably, maintain print alignment, and create a finished package that protects the product without looking loose, tight, or misaligned.
For this project, the customer needed confidence that the custom printed film would work with the product size, wrapper setup, print registration, and finished package expectations before moving forward.
The Solution
Bags Etc evaluated the 1 oz chocolate peanut butter cup and reviewed the flow wrap requirements around product dimensions, package length, seal location, film tracking, and print-to-cut alignment.
Custom printed roll stock film was prepared for testing on the horizontal flow wrapper. The goal was to confirm that the product, film, artwork layout, and machine setup worked together as a complete packaging system.
What Bags Etc Helped Validate
- Product fit through the flow wrapper
- Film tracking on the machine
- Print registration and cut location
- End seal and fin seal performance
- Finished package appearance
- Wrapper compatibility with the printed film
- Production-readiness before scale-up
Results
The project helped confirm that the 1 oz chocolate peanut butter cup could be flow wrapped using custom printed roll stock film on the intended machine platform.
By testing the product, printed film, and machine together, Bags Etc helped reduce the risk of production issues related to alignment, sealing, package fit, and finished presentation.
