Stretch Wrap Machinery Solution for Fresh Produce Industry

Our client is a third-generation family business with deep roots in growing and delivering premium strawberries. Hands-on across every part of their operation, they’ve built a strong industry reputation on the back of consistent quality and a personal touch that larger operations simply can’t replicate.

The client approached Gateway Packaging with a clear challenge. Their manual wrapping setup was holding them back. Peak season demand was outpacing what the team could manage by hand, and the occasional poorly wrapped pallet was a risk they couldn’t afford. Both for product integrity and for the relationships they’d spent decades building with buyers.

After understanding their operation, the volume, the produce type, and the importance of load security for fresh fruit in transit, the Gateway team recommended the Paxum® X100 with Roping System. The built-in auto roping was the key differentiator: it cinches pallets firmly from base to crown, keeping stacked produce stable and secure on the road. Paired with automatic film cut and clamp, photoelectric height detection, and remote operation, it was the right fit from every angle.

The results were immediate and meaningful. Packing throughput increased, product arrived at its destination in better condition, and the team now wraps with confidence, knowing every pallet leaves the facility to the same consistent standard. What was once a pressure point is now a seamless part of the daily operation.

Gateway provided hands-on training and ensured a smooth installation, and continues to offer ongoing technical support. Because for us, a great outcome doesn’t end at delivery. It’s the foundation of a long-term partnership.
