It is becoming more common for logistics companies to act as contract packers for brand owners for small run and promotional batches. Rather than disrupt high speed production lines in the main manufacturing plant, companies can contract out the packaging of different pack formats.

Marden Edwards has recently manufactured a large format S4B225FF overwrapping machine for wrapping very large cartons of chocolate selections. The largest box being overwrapped is 460mm long and 320mm wide whilst the smallest carton that the machine is wrapping is only 100mm long and 100mm wide. Although the size range being wrapped is very large, the time taken to change over from one size to another is still less than 15 minutes. Using quick release tooling, once the size change has taken place the machine is ready for the production run.

There are now three competing technologies for biodegradable overwrapping films. These are films made from polypropylene, films made from polylactic acid (corn starch) and finally films made from cellophane (wood pulp).
