At ADCO, we understand that packaging is more than just a necessity—it’s a crucial element of your brand’s identity and a key factor in operational efficiency. That’s why we offer a range of wrap around sleever solutions designed to meet diverse packaging needs, from compact single-count trays to high-speed, multi-count cups or bottles.
Why Choose Wrap Around Sleeving?
Wrap around sleeves offer several unique advantages over traditional cartons:
- Great Display/Branding: The design allows for enhanced visual appeal, giving your products a standout presence on the shelf.
- Product Visibility: Consumers can see exactly what they’re getting, which builds trust and satisfaction.
- Sustainability: Using significantly less paperboard than traditional cartons, wrap around sleeves are an eco-friendly packaging option.
- Easy Open Convenience: Designed with the consumer in mind, these sleeves are easy to open, adding to the overall user experience.
ADCO’s Compact WAE Wrap Around Sleever
For those seeking a cost-effective solution without compromising on performance, the ADCO WAE wrap around sleever is an excellent choice. This compact machine is designed to run single count trays at speeds up to 90 trays per minute.
High-Speed Solutions: WM and WS Wrap Around Sleever
For faster applications or the ability to run multi-count products, ADCO offers the WM (Mechanical) and WS (Servo) wrap-around sleevers. These machines are nearly identical except for their drivetrain, with the WS being a multi-axis servo-driven machine and the WM featuring a traditional mechanical drivetrain. Here’s what they bring to your packaging line:
- Sleeve Speeds Up to 300 Sleeves/Minute: Perfect for high-volume operations.
- Product Speeds Up to 1500 Cups/Minute: Efficiently handle a variety of products.
- Versatile Product Handling: Capable of stacking products, inverting or flipping the top layer, and accommodating products that extend out of the wrapped sleeve, such as applesauce cups.
- Customizable Indexing Solutions: Depending on your application, choose from timing screws, starwheels, metering belts, or robotic solutions for precise product placement and control.

Choosing the Right Solution
Selecting the right wrap around sleever depends on your specific needs. The WAE is perfect for single-count, lower-speed applications, offering affordability and compactness. For higher speeds and more complex packaging requirements, the WM and WS models provide the versatility and performance necessary to keep your operations running smoothly and efficiently.
A Word of Caution
Wrap around sleevers are often tailored to the specific products and sleeves they handle. These machines utilize specialized parts for indexing, folding, and closing sleeves to ensure efficient operation. Unlike most end load cartoners, which can be adjusted within a broad size range with minimal change parts, wrap around sleevers require precise customization. If you’re considering purchasing a used wrap around sleever, we recommend contacting our After Market Support team to determine if the machine can be adapted to your application.
At ADCO, we’re committed to helping you find the best packaging solutions to meet your needs. Our wrap around sleevers are designed to enhance your packaging line’s efficiency, sustainability, and overall performance, ensuring your products look great and are easy for consumers to use.
