Kite Packaging, one of the UK’s leading packaging suppliers, has expanded its machinery range with a new line of spiral wrapping machines and compatible eco-friendly films. Designed to boost productivity, reduce manual labour, and minimise material waste, this launch continues Kite’s mission to deliver performance without compromising sustainability.
Automated Wrapping for Complex Loads
Kite’s new Robopac Compacta spiral wrappers apply stretch film in a controlled spiral pattern using a rotating ring mechanism. They are ideal for long or irregularly shaped items, delivering high-speed, consistent wrapping with minimal manual intervention. They are operated by a foot pedal and equipped with an automatic clamping and cutting system.
Available in four models – Compacta 4, 6, 9 and 12 – the machines vary by film width and offer maximum versatility across different applications. The intuitive control panel enables custom programming of wrapping cycles, while infeed and outfeed conveyors allow for seamless integration into existing production lines.
“Spiral wrapping technology is transforming packing operations across a range of industries,” says a Kite spokesperson. “It’s faster, more consistent, and dramatically reduces both labour and film usage. This launch allows our customers to unlock the benefits of automation without compromising on space or sustainability.”
Eco-Conscious Film That Doesn’t Compromise on Strength
Complementing the machines, Kite’s new range of spiral wrapper films are developed to reduce environmental impact without sacrificing performance. All four films contain 30% recycled content to support Plastic Packaging Tax compliance.
The range includes:
•12 micron, 250mm x 1500m (clear)
•17 micron, 125mm x 1355m (clear)
•20 micron, 125mm x 900m (clear)
•20 micron, 250mm x 900m (clear)
Designed for durability and stretch efficiency, the films reduce material waste while delivering tight, secure loads that resist transit damage.
Compact, Cost-Effective, and High-Return
With a space-saving footprint and user-friendly controls, the Compacta range is ideal for businesses looking to increase throughput without major infrastructure changes or additional staffing.
Key benefits include:
•Faster wrapping with consistent results
•Reduced film usage and lower packaging costs
•Minimal training required for operation
•Tight, secure wrapping for enhanced product protection
•Excellent return on investment through time, labour, and material savings
“Our spiral wrappers enable businesses to wrap smarter – not harder,” adds Kite. “When paired with our eco-conscious films, the result is a greener, more streamlined operation.”
