What is Tertiary Packaging?
Tertiary packaging is the final stage in the packaging process, applied after products have been primary and secondary packed. Its role is to prepare goods for safe and efficient handling, storage and distribution.
This typically involves palletising, wrapping and securing products to ensure stability during transport and throughout the supply chain.
Tertiary Packaging Machine Types
AGV Systems
(Automated Guided Vehicles)
Used for automated movement of products and pallets within a facility, reducing manual handling and improving internal logistics.
Pallet Wrapping Machines
Used for securing palletised loads with stretch film to maintain stability during storage and transport.
Robotic Palletisers
Used for stacking and organising products onto pallets with consistent placement and high throughput.
Role of Tertiary Packaging
Tertiary packaging ensures products remain stable and protected during handling, storage and transport. It is critical in high-volume operations where palletised loads must be moved efficiently through warehouses and distribution networks.
Automated end-of-line systems improve throughput, reduce manual handling and maintain consistency across large production volumes.
