Industries and Full-System Packaging Solutions
PACKPRO is a Canadian full-system packaging partner delivering packaging materials, equipment, and automation for commercial and industrial operations.
The materials are matched to the equipment, the equipment is matched to your line, and our own team installs, and maintains it over time. For more than 25 years, Canadian operations have relied on this Full-System approach to pack more products with less material and downtime.
What “Full-System” Means
PACKPRO’s Full-System Solutions address the whole chain:
- Best-in-class packaging materials optimized to run efficiently on your equipment
- Proven, innovative packaging machines that boost your throughput
- Manufacturer-authorized Field Engineers for installation, training, maintenance and emergency repairs
- Custom engineering and automation when an off-the-shelf solution doesn’t fit
By evaluating performance across your entire system rather than focusing strictly on the unit cost of equipment or materials, we recommend targeted adjustments that reduce overall operating costs. This includes minimizing film usage per load, decreasing line downtime, and reducing transit-related product damage.
Industries We Serve
eCommerce Packaging and Fulfillment
eCommerce fulfillment depends on packing accuracy and speed, often with order volumes that change week to week. We help operations move from manual pack stations to semi-automation or full automation at the pace that suits their growth.
Examples: automated baggers that run poly or paper mailers and print labels in-line, automated mailer and right-sizing systems that reduce over-packing and shipping costs, case forming automation, water-activated tape dispensers that improve case sealing productivity by 21% on average, and on-demand void fill.
Food Processing Packaging
For processors packing food for grocery shelves, including produce, protein, dairy, bakery, beverages and prepared foods, packaging has to protect freshness, look good on the shelf, and stand up to cold, wet, washdown environments.
Examples: tray sealing and tray overwrapping for a store-fresh look, vacuum-skin packaging for premium foods, 100% recyclable PETE food trays as an alternative to foam, food bagging systems built for daily washdowns, case erectors designed for meat and poultry plants, and stainless steel pallet wrappers for wet or cold conditions.
Clothing and Apparel Packaging for Retail Shipping
Online apparel orders range from a pair of pajamas to heavy boots and bulky jackets, and each needs to arrive in perfect condition. We help apparel retailers automate bagging and labelling, choose the right mailers and protective materials, and design branded boxes sized for their most common orders.
Examples: table-top and floor-model bagging systems for single and multi-item orders, recyclable paper mailers, and right-sized corrugated cartons.
Agricultural and Greenhouse Growers
Growers of cut flowers, herbs, produce and greenhouse products need packaging that protects fragile, perishable goods, allows them to breathe, and holds up through heat, cold and humidity. We work with growers through a dedicated rep who understands perishable products and seasonal growing cycles.
Examples: boxes designed for freshness and breathability, case sealing tape for extreme conditions (custom printing available), hand and machine agricultural stretch film, pallet wrappers with film use optimization, case sealers, and preventative maintenance scheduled around your growing season.
Sustainable Packaging Solutions
Sustainability applies across every industry we serve. Our approach is to design packaging “from the product out,” using only the material your product needs to arrive safely, and choosing options that can be recycled at the end of their life.
Examples: Right-sizing assessments that can cut stretch film use by up to 50%, curbside-recyclable paper water-activated tape, recycled-content mailers and void fill, recyclable PETE trays, vacuum-skin packaging on recyclable paperboard, and Technoplat PW, which wraps pallets in recycled paper instead of plastic film.
Other Industries We Serve
PACKPRO also works with manufacturers, industrial distributors, 3PLs and distribution centres, medical supply companies, and other commercial and industrial operations. The same Full-System approach applies in each case: materials matched to your equipment, Field Engineers to install and maintain it, and custom engineering when a standard machine doesn’t fit your line. If your industry isn’t listed above, contact us to talk through your packaging operation.
Our Service Offerings
Whatever your industry, the same set of services makes up the full system.
Packaging Materials
Primary, secondary and end-of-line materials from leading manufacturers, chosen to run well on your equipment and protect your product. These include stretch film, shrink film, case sealing and water-activated tapes, boxes, food trays and food film, bags, clamshells, and void fill, in both traditional and more sustainable options.
Packaging Equipment
We take the guesswork out of equipment selection. Our specialists assess your requirements first, then recommend from leading manufacturers: stretch wrappers, case formers and sealers, bagging systems, shrink wrappers and bundlers, tray sealers and overwrappers, form-fill-seal machines, void fill machines and tape dispensers.
Parts and Service
Our manufacturer-authorized Field Engineers keep your line running, whether you bought your equipment from PACKPRO or elsewhere.
- Installation and training: setup from start to finish, with hands-on training for your operators
- Emergency repairs and OEM parts: fast response, backed by an extensive parts inventory
- Preventative Maintenance Program: a flexible plan built around your equipment that covers routine maintenance, cleaning and training, so problems are caught before they cause downtime
Automation and Custom Engineering
When your product, floor plan or throughput goals don’t fit a standard machine, PACKPRO’s Engineering Group designs and builds a solution. That includes packaging line integration, conveyors and material handling, custom fabrication such as lift tables and product-specific tooling, safety retrofits and guarding, and full system commissioning under real production conditions.
Let’s Build Your System
Whether you need a better film, a new machine, a maintenance plan or a fully automated line, PACKPRO looks at your whole packaging operation and helps every part of it perform. Contact us to request your complimentary packaging assessment.
