The Etipack manufacturer

Etipack S.p.A. was founded in 1978 in Cinisello Balsamo (Milan, Italy) and stands as a premier European manufacturer of industrial labeling machinery, automatic applicators, and friction feeders. All systems are engineered and built in Italy under ISO 9001 certified quality standards.

Stepper Drive Kinematics in Eway, Strong, and Extreme Applicators

Industrial automatic label application requires constant web tension and accurate placement repeatability across diverse conveyor speeds.

Etipack Eway and Strong series applicators employ precision hybrid stepper drives coupled with digital microprocessor control, dispensing labels up to 40 and 60 m/min respectively.

The flagship Extreme applicator achieves dispensing line speeds up to 80 m/min utilizing an active dual-loop tension control across the unwind spindle and backing paper rewinder.

Specify maximum label web width (up to 300 mm), packaging line velocity, and pitch spacing to configure optimal peel plates.

High-Precision Cylindrical Wrap-Around Labeling in System 1

Applying self-adhesive wrap-around labels to cylindrical bottles, glass vials, metal cans, and plastic tubs requires positive product stabilization.

The Etipack System 1 incorporates infeed pacing devices—either dual timing belts or metering feed screws—coupled with motorized rotary roller assemblies (DRP) or continuous wrap belts.

This mechanism ensures bubble-free, skew-free label transfer across the entire container circumference. Optional optical or ultrasonic registration sensors detect physical seams, embossed glass marks, or pre-printed badges to orient labels with millimeter precision prior to rolling.

Top, Bottom, and Pass-Through Tray Labeling in System 2 and 4

The Etipack System 2 and System 4 machines are engineered for flat containers: thermoformed plastic trays, vacuum-sealed skin packs, carton boxes, and doypack pouches. System 4 executes simultaneous synchronized top and bottom label application in a single inline pass.

Bottom labeling is facilitated by a split-bed conveyor with adjustable transfer gaps, allowing the lower applicator head unrestricted access to the underside of moving packages. Motorized overhead stabilizing belts keep lightweight trays securely seated, preventing displacement during labeling.

Synchronized Dual-Side Front and Back Labeling in System 5

Applying front and back labels to elliptical, rectangular, and shaped bottles in personal care, cosmetics, and household chemicals demands strict container alignment. The Etipack System 5 features two independent labeling heads equipped with 3-axis micro-metric angle and spatial adjustments.

Upstream aligning dual belts orient elliptical bottles parallel to the centerline before reaching the dispensing zone. A synchronized overhead top clamping conveyor stabilizes tall, unstable bottles throughout the peel plate transfer and subsequent soft-brush smoothing phases.

High-Speed Friction Feeding and Dispensing with Whizzy Units

Etipack Whizzy friction feeders are compact, autonomous units engineered for in-line integration with cartoning machines, flow-wrappers, and packaging conveyors.

They reliably singulate and dispense folded paper leaflets, booklets, vouchers, flat sachets, and plastic cards at speeds up to 400 pieces/min.

Manufactured from AISI 304 food-grade stainless steel, Whizzy complies with stringent pharmaceutical cleanroom standards.

The Whizzy SM version features a stepper motor for precise indexing into conveyor flights, while Whizzy Cut & Feed includes an integrated guillotine to cut continuous sachet bands.

Pharmaceutical Tamper-Evident Sealing and Serialization (Pharma Seal)

The Etipack Pharma Seal series is engineered in full compliance with the European Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD 2011/62/EU) and global GMP serialization regulations. The system applies two clear or security-cut tamper-evident seals across the closing flaps of pharmaceutical cartons.

Integrated machine vision cameras inspect seal integrity, folding angle, and 2D DataMatrix code legibility. Defective cartons are instantaneously intercepted by pneumatic reject blowers into locked quarantine bins, ensuring 100% compliant packaging releases.

Direct In-Line Printing and Real-Time Print & Apply Systems

For case packaging, pallet identification, and end-of-line logistics, Etipack produces industrial Print & Apply systems. Modules integrate high-duty thermal transfer print engines from Sato, Zebra, and Honeywell-Datamax with resolutions up to 600 dpi.

Labels are transferred onto stationary or moving cases via non-contact pneumatic blow-on, spring-loaded tamp-blow arms, or corner-wrap articulating applicators, ensuring reliable adhesion on corrugated cases, shrink-wrapped bundles, and uneven surfaces.

Wear Parts, Feed Rollers, and Replacement Transport Belts

Sustained 24/7 uptime of Etipack labeling lines relies on timely replacement of mechanical wear components. High-friction polyurethane feed belts and silicone counter-pressure rollers experience gradual abrasion, resulting in potential web slippage and label pitch drift.

We supply genuine Etipack drive belts, silicone pinch rollers, peel blades, optical contrast sensors, ultrasonic clear-label forks, spool holders, and stepper motors for current and legacy machine generations.
