Top 10 Secondary Packaging Machine Manufacturers in Dubai 2026

Once a product is filled, it still needs to be grouped, protected and made ready for retailers and shippers. That is the job of a secondary packaging machine: cartons, trays, shrink wrap, bundles and labels.

Avenue Automation manufactures secondary packaging machines for pharmaceutical, personal care, food and industrial customers. We supply to Dubai and across the UAE with ISO 9001:2015 certified build quality.

We offer compact semi-automatic machines for smaller plants, and fully automatic lines for high output.

What Is Secondary Packaging?

Secondary packaging is the layer that groups primary packs, such as bottles, pouches, tubes or blister strips, into units for display, storage and transport. Examples are cartons, trays, multipacks and shrink-wrapped bundles.

A secondary packaging machine automates that grouping. It collects products, forms the carton or tray, loads, closes it with hot melt glue or adhesive tape, and can add coding or labels.

How We Manufacture Secondary Packaging Machines

The task is to handle many product shapes quickly without damage, so we focus on motion control.

  • Product and pack study: We measure the primary pack and carton and decide on the loading method.
  • Structure: SS304 or SS316 for food contact areas, and strong frames for continuous running.
  • Motion and control: PLC and HMI coordinate pushers, pick-and-place heads and conveyors.
  • Sealing: Hot melt glue or tape heads are fitted for carton closing.
  • Safety: Emergency stops, guards and interlocks.
  • Trial: We run your products and cartons before dispatch.

Types of Secondary Packaging Machines

The best configuration depends on pack type and speed.

  • Case packers and erectors: Form cases and load products.
  • Shrink and stretch wrapping machines: Bundle and protect packs.
  • Cartoning machines: Place products in folding cartons.
  • Bundling machines: Group multipacks.
  • Palletizers: Robotic or conventional stacking.
  • Labelling and coding systems: Apply identification and batch data.
  • Tray erectors and loaders: Form and fill trays.
  • Robotic pick-and-place systems: Handle delicate or varied items.
