How to Use a Food Wrapping Machine to Package Fruits

2026-02-05

As the fruit industry moves toward large-scale and standardized production, traditional manual packaging can no longer meet efficiency and quality demands. Food wrapping machines provide efficient, hygienic, and consistent automated packaging that reduces labor costs while improving packaging quality and product appearance, helping enhance brand competitiveness. During transportation and sales, fruits are easily affected by pressure, oxidation, and moisture loss. Sealed packaging with a food wrapping machine helps extend shelf life, reduce waste, and improve product appeal in supermarkets and e-commerce platforms, ultimately boosting sales.

Food wrapping machines complete the packaging process through conveying, film covering, sealing, and cutting. After fruits are neatly placed on trays or conveyors, the machine automatically wraps them with film and seals the package using heat or film-pressing technology, creating tight and secure packaging. Advanced film-pressing designs ensure strong and visually appealing results while maintaining transparency, allowing consumers to clearly see fruit quality. This packaging method protects fruits and enhances product presentation, making it ideal for supermarkets, fresh produce distribution centers, and fruit processing companies.

Selecting suitable packaging film directly affects packaging quality and cost control. Common packaging films include PVC and PE films. PVC film offers high transparency, strong stretchability, and excellent adhesion, making it ideal for retail fruit display packaging. PE film is more environmentally friendly and cost-effective, suitable for bulk transportation and wholesale packaging.

Operating a food wrapping machine is simple and efficient. Before starting, check the power supply, temperature control system, and machine condition to ensure proper operation. Then install PVC or PE film and adjust the tension. Set packaging temperature, speed, and sealing time according to fruit size and packaging requirements. Place sorted fruits neatly on trays or the conveyor belt. Once the machine starts, it will automatically complete wrapping, sealing, and cutting. Finally, inspect the finished packages and proceed to boxing or distribution. One operator can manage large-scale packaging, significantly improving productivity.

Food wrapping machines are suitable for a wide range of fruits, and different fruits can adopt appropriate packaging methods. Apples are commonly packed with trays and cling film for supermarket sales; oranges are often packaged in groups of three to six for easy transport and display; strawberries are packed in transparent boxes with film to prevent damage; blueberries are sealed in small boxes to enhance product value; grapes use tray-sealed packaging to reduce moisture loss; mangoes can be packaged individually or in groups to enhance brand image; kiwifruit is often packaged in premium trays or gift boxes for high-end markets; cherries are typically packed in sealed boxes for cold-chain transportation. Automated packaging ensures consistent, attractive, and efficient packaging for all types of fruits.

Using a food wrapping machine for fruit packaging provides many benefits, including higher packaging speed and production efficiency, reduced labor costs and human error, uniform and attractive packaging that enhances brand image, extended shelf life with reduced waste, and flexible packaging sizes to meet different market needs. With the rapid growth of fresh produce e-commerce and chain supermarkets, demand for efficient and high-quality fruit packaging continues to increase, making automated packaging equipment an essential tool for improving competitiveness.
