A spiral of printed tape turns a plain carton or bundle into a branded, closed pack in one pass. It also holds loose parts together without a separate carton seal. Clear film is cheaper per metre, but it carries no print and gives less scuff protection.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how\">How the machine works<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Infeed:<\/strong> the pack runs in on the conveyor; a photocell detects its front end.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hold:<\/strong> the press-down device lowers onto the pack so wrapping tension cannot shake it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start:<\/strong> the automatic clamp holds the tape end against the pack.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrap:<\/strong> the ring turns and lays the tape in a spiral while the conveyor moves the pack; head and end reinforcement wraps are added.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cut:<\/strong> the automatic cutter cuts the tape and the clamp holds the new end for the next pack.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Outfeed:<\/strong> the wrapped pack runs out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"build\">Machine build<\/h2>\n<p>Base data from our E3000 tape orbital wrapper quotation; the conveyor type is chosen per product:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Item<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Tape orbital wrapper<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Ring<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Reinforced cast aluminium ring on four guide wheels with twin PU drive wheels<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Ring drive<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Inverter speed control, soft start, jog<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Overlap<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">10\u201390%, adjustable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Conveyors<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Powered rubber roller conveyor (as shown) or PVC belt (2.5 m \u00d7 2 sets in the E3000 quotation), inverter speed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Tape handling<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Automatic clamp, feed and cut<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Control<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">PLC, touch screen, photocell position setting<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Floor<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Flat hard floor, load over 1 t\/m\u00b2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Pack size range, ring diameter and tape width are confirmed at quote for your product.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tape\">Overlap and tape use<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Conveyor speed (m\/min) = ring speed (r\/min) \u00d7 tape width (m) \u00d7 (1 \u2212 overlap).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tape per pack (m) \u2248 pack perimeter (m) \u00d7 pack length (m) \u00f7 (tape width (m) \u00d7 (1 \u2212 overlap)) + end wraps.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Example only: a pack of 0.3 m \u00d7 0.3 m section (1.2 m perimeter), 2 m long, with 0.072 m tape at 50% overlap, needs about 1.2 \u00d7 2 \u00f7 (0.072 \u00d7 0.5) \u2248 67 m of tape plus the end wraps.

Different modes let it wrap different materials, with the tension set for each.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Do the clamps and press rollers mark the carton?\nA: No. The press-down contact parts are covered with soft rubber or PU, and the press range is set to the pack height so the carton is not crushed.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can it run without an operator?\nA: Yes. The automatic clamp and cutter allow unmanned operation in a line.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can I set where the wrap starts and stops?\nA: Yes, the start and stop points and head and end delays are set on the touch screen.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step\">Next step<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Send your pack sizes, tape and output<\/strong> to info@fhopepack.com.<\/li>\n<li><strong>We confirm<\/strong> the ring size and line layout.<\/li>\n<li><strong>We reply within 24 hours<\/strong> with a proposal and quotation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"related-reading\">Related reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Customize-orbital-wrapper\/Profile-wrapping-machine.html\">Profile orbital wrapping machine (product)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Customize-orbital-wrapper\/panel-wrapping-machine.html\">Panel wrapping machine (product)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/economic-type-orbital-wrapper-video\/\">Economic orbital wrapper (video)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/rod-orbital-wrapper-and-bar-wrapping-machine\/\">Rod orbital wrapper and bar wrapping machine (video)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/horizontal-orbital-stretch-wrapping-machine\/\">Horizontal orbital stretch wrapping machine (video)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>FHOPE E3000 tape wrapping machine quotation (2021)<\/li>\n<li>EN ISO 12100:2010; EN 415-10; EN 60204-1<\/li>\n<li>The BOPP tape orbital wrapper shown above<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Last reviewed:<\/strong> 2026-10-20<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive summary Some packs need a printed, tough outer band rather than clear film: it carries the brand, holds the carton closed and resists scuffing.
