What are the tips for using a 3D packaging machine?

The three-dimensional packaging machine, also known as the stereoscopic transparent film packaging machine, cigarette packaging machine, six-sided folding cold packaging machine for transparent films, or transparent film packaging machine, uses BOPP film or PVC as its packaging material to form a three-dimensional, six-sided folded package around the product being packaged. This type of packaging machine is widely used for stereoscopic, transparent-film wrapping of items such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, health supplements, audiovisual products, stationery, and daily-use goods—enabling clear, external labeling on boxes.

What are some tips for using a 3D packaging machine? Below, we’ve summarized the following points.

1. Perform a comprehensive maintenance on the surface of the 3D packaging machine every three months.

2. After completing daily work, the surface of the 3D packaging machine should be thoroughly cleaned and properly covered to prevent dust contamination.

3. Ensure that the three-dimensional packaging machinery and equipment are placed stably to guarantee safe and normal operation and avoid unnecessary trouble.

4. Operate and use the equipment with skilled personnel to prevent unnecessary damage.

5. Perform regular maintenance to identify and eliminate various unnecessary hazards.

6. During use, never directly prevent the machine from overheating to avoid injuring your hands.

7. After using the three-dimensional packaging machine and equipment, thoroughly clean up all unnecessary items to prepare for convenient use next time.

Operating Principles of 3D Packaging Machines

The packaging film for the three-dimensional packaging machine is cut by a cutting blade to the length required for packaging. The small packaging boxes are conveyed by a conveyor belt, and cylinders push them into stacks (in the desired shape and quantity), wrap them with the film, and fold them to form medium-sized packages. Since this equipment does not use a heat-shrink packaging machine—where the entire packaged item is heated—the process employs localized, instantaneous low-temperature packaging instead. This approach prevents any temperature changes within the box containing the packaged items, which is why it’s referred to as a cold packaging machine. It can serve as a viable alternative to heat-shrink packaging machines.

3D Packaging Machine Features

◆ More energy-efficient and power-saving than heat-shrink packaging machines. Fully sealed packaging: waterproof and moisture-proof, preventing contamination.

◆ Instant sealing—no material storage required at the heat-sealing station: Similar to cold packaging, this process has no adverse effect on pharmaceuticals or heat-sensitive products.

◆ Fully automatic: automatic feeding, palletizing, packaging, heat sealing, sorting, and counting.

◆ The electrical control system, with a programmable logic controller (PLC) as its core, ensures stable and reliable equipment operation and consistent performance.

◆ Automatic zeroing and reset function—user-friendly and intelligent design. Easier to use, operate, maintain, and repair.

◆ Box-shaped packaging and solid molded products of different specifications (sizes, short, wide, narrow) can be packaged simply by replacing a few parts.

This machine was introduced from abroad and has been continuously improved by domestic enterprises to meet the needs of the current Chinese market, offering manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic models. It is available in single-box packaging and multi-box packaging.
