Individually presented products
For one item per pack, define how the product sits inside the film and where the seals should appear. Provide actual samples so the enquiry can consider movement, orientation and the finished presentation.

Flow wrapping
A clearer route to the right equipment.
A useful flow-wrap brief starts with the item that leaves your production line. Its shape, stability and presentation matter as much as the number of packs required. Bring Lancing a representative product, the proposed film and a clear description of the finished pack. The discussion can then cover how products arrive, how they remain correctly spaced and how each wrapped item will leave the machine. Start with the application and develop a practical machinery specification from there.

flow wrap machine: where to start.
Explore the production situations that shape the specification. These examples describe requirements to discuss, rather than confirmed machine configurations.
Products supplied by operators
When operators introduce items, describe the work rhythm and the space available for staging. Include replenishment and removal tasks so the proposed wrapping station can be reviewed against normal working conditions.
Products arriving from production
Where an existing process supplies the wrapper, show how products arrive and whether their spacing varies. Ask for the infeed and downstream handovers to be included when the machinery scope is assessed.
Compare the approach
Start with the way you work.
Use these routes to frame the discussion. Lancing will confirm the proposed machine, handling method and scope against your product and packaging.
OPTION / 01
Single-item wrapping
Develop a brief around one item in each pack, with attention to orientation, film fit and seal location. Representative samples help expose handling details that a product photograph may miss.
Consider whenA defined individual product and a repeatable retail presentation.
OPTION / 02
Grouped products
If several items share a pack, describe how the group is assembled and kept together. Confirm the grouping and feeding scope with Lancing before assuming it is included in the wrapping equipment.
Consider whenMultipacks that need a clear feeding and grouping plan.
OPTION / 03
A connected wrapping stage
Review the transfers between existing production, the wrapper and the next operation. Agree the working height, spacing and responsibility for interfaces as part of the machinery discussion.
Consider whenProduction where wrapping must work with other equipment.
Specify what matters
Small details.
Better decisions.
Start with the constraints that affect your application. Our selection guide helps you organise a useful machinery brief.
Read the selection guide - 01
Define the finished pack
Record the product dimensions, the intended seal positions and the amount of film around the item.
- 02
Understand product behaviour
Explain whether items roll, deform, shed crumbs or need careful presentation.
- 03
Set an output requirement
Give the number of acceptable finished packs needed per shift and the batch pattern.
The application process
Define it. Review it.
Agree the scope.
A practical starting point for your enquiry, with the actual specification confirmed before an equipment decision.
Share real components
Provide product samples, dimensions and any film already selected. Explain the desired pack appearance and any presentation problems in the current method.
Review the handling sequence
Walk through infeed, wrapping and discharge together. Identify which activities operators will perform and which need to be included in the proposed equipment.
Confirm the proposed scope
Ask for the quotation to define formats, configuration and the basis of any output figure. Resolve unanswered application details before making a machinery decision.
Before you enquire
Your questions,
considered.
Practical answers to help you prepare a more useful discussion.
What should I send with an enquiry?
Product dimensions, photographs, sample quantities, intended film and target output make a useful start. Include a finished-pack example if you have one, even when it was produced by another method.
Can one setup run several products?
That depends on the format range and required changeovers. List every product you want assessed and ask which adjustments or additional parts would be needed for the proposed configuration.
Is published speed the output I will achieve?
Treat catalogue figures as a comparison point. Ask Lancing to assess expected accepted output with your product, film, feeding arrangement and normal production conditions.
Can wrapping be connected to our existing line?
Share a layout and describe the equipment on either side. Connection needs a review of transfers, controls, working heights and available space; suitability should be confirmed for the complete sequence.
From requirement to recommendation
Let’s define the right next step.
Tell Lancing what you need to handle, pack or produce. Start with the details you know; use the application brief to organise the rest.
