THE BRAND

Experience

Founded in the 80’s, Autopack now has over 40 years of experience in the design, manufacture and service of shrink-wrapping and carton packaging machines. To date, they have installed more than 5000 packaging solutions throughout the world, thanks to a wide range of products, from very affordable machines for small and medium outputs to high outputs more suitable for multinational companies.

The sectors concerned and interested by our machines are as numerous, among them we note the different industries :

Flexible – what is flexible packaging ?

The success of the brand is also due to the great flexibility of the machines, which are designed to be adjustable and adaptable to a wide range of products, of different sizes and shapes. Some models are adapted on request, with compact vertical stacking solution, multi-lane infeed or orientation screw for shaped bottles. Autopack machines are configurable to meet your needs, all in compliance with legal requirements. We offer CE, UL (ICP) and UL (FAE) compliance.

Compact

The machines are also designed to be as compact as possible. Saving space in your warehouse translates into increased productivity for you and more working space for your operators. We make a special effort to use only the bare minimum of parts needed in manufacturing, as well as parts of simple design, to reduce costs and simplify maintenance. In addition, we have over 400,000 parts in stock in our Montreal, Quebec warehouse to ensure immediate availability.

Affordable

Offering you high-performance and reliable machines at a contained price is possible, and Autopack does it very well. It starts with the design. Some solutions have a lower manufacturing and maintenance cost than the “obvious” solutions or those considered as “industry standards”; our mission is to find them. For example:

  • Using fewer parts to achieve the same function
  • Using several simple standard parts instead of one complex and expensive part
  • By designing our parts to be easily manufactured and assembled
  • By limiting the use of sophisticated motorizations for example
  • And by making our machines modular rather than application specific.

Qualitative

All Autopack machines undergo quality assurance testing prior to delivery and acceptance testing following a specific protocol after installation. They are designed and proven to be durable and easy to maintain at low cost. They are also equipped with physical, electrical and programming safeguards to reduce the risk of accidents and damage. Finally, Autopack machines comply with local regulations and international safety standards.

  • Making affordable packaging machines for developing countries, or low-cost lines that are expensive to automate.
