Lid Applicators

We offer a range of modular lid applicators, providing automated solutions for a variety of lid styles from simple 'U' shaped hoods to four sided lids and shoe box style lids.

Lid applicators seamlessly integrate into existing packaging lines, providing an efficient solution for two-piece, retail-ready packaging that meets retailer requirements.

Our latest generation of lidding machines and tray sealers are essential for automating the application of a wide range of lid styles, from simple 'U' boards to more complex four-sided or shoe box lids.

Whether used alongside top load tray packers or wraparound case packers, a lidding machine is a standalone piece of equipment that operates on demand, applying lids to packaging securely with adhesive or tuck-in sections.

Built for versatility, our tray lidding machines can seamlessly integrate into existing production lines or be installed in new setups. They boost production efficiency while staying flexible to meet future packaging demands.

With fully adjustable tooling, size changes are quick and easy, allowing you to introduce new sizes in the future hassle-free.
