Packaging Machines that Will Transform Your Business Operation

FROMM Packaging Systems offers a portfolio of equipment engineered to protect products, speed throughput and reduce costs. Whether you need tensioning and sealing, pallet wrapping, void fill or integrated lines, FROMM’s packaging machines include strapping, wrapping, protective and automated solutions to suit diverse industries.

Strapping solutions

FROMM supplies handheld tools, bench and table units plus semi- and fully automatic strapping systems. These packaging machines apply steel, PP or PET strap for bundling, palletising and securing irregular loads. Typical uses include timber, metal, beverage and carton securing. Benefits include consistent strap tension, faster cycle times, lower rework and improved transport safety.

Stretch wrapping and orbital wrappers

FROMM’s range of stretch wrappers includes turntable, robot and orbital systems that use high-quality stretch film to stabilise pallets and protect goods from dust and moisture. These units are designed for heavy-duty use, simple operation and minimal maintenance. Applications span distribution centres, manufacturing and e-commerce fulfilment – delivering load containment, film savings and reduced manual handling.

Protective solutions

Airpad and paperpad systems generate tailored cushioning material on demand. Compact machines produce air-cushion mats or paper pads to protect fragile or high-value items during transit. Advantages include reduced material storage, lower waste, high impact absorption and a smaller carbon footprint compared with loose-fill alternatives.

Automated solutions and integration

For high-volume or mixed-product lines, FROMM’s automated strapping and handling systems (PM and AM series) offer horizontal and vertical configurations, modular arch designs and smart options such as strap dispensers and customised software. These integrated setups automate repetitive tasks, improve throughput, and deliver precise, repeatable results with minimal operator input.

Features to consider when specifying equipment:

Cycle speed and throughput targets.
Strap and film compatibility.
Footprint and integration with conveyors.

FROMM’s PM and AM models are engineered for durability, offering modular arches, programmable tension settings and optional conveyors. For lower-volume needs, semi-automatic units provide an affordable step-up from manual methods while keeping consistent finish. Investing in the right solution reduces material waste and improves safety across warehouse and transport operations.

Why choose FROMM

Broad product set covering strapping, wrapping, protective and automated needs.
Robust build quality suited to continuous industrial use.
Options for steel and plastic strap, multiple strap widths and programmable controls.
Local support and spare-part availability through FROMM’s South African office.

Typical ROI can be rapid when you apply the correct packaging machines: lower labour hours, fewer damaged consignments and reduced material use translate into payback within months for busy operations.

Protective Packaging: How FROMM Helps You Keep Goods Safe in Transit

Protective packaging plays a vital role in modern logistics. It serves to reduce damage, waste and handling costs. This, in turn, allows for successful shipping, maintaining profit margins, and keeping goods affordable. FROMM’s tailored protective packaging solutions are designed to optimise the packaging process and deliver outstanding results on all of these goals.

FROMM’s protective packaging solutions

FROMM supplies on-demand cushioning systems that create airpad mats and paper pads to cradle fragile items, conserve space and cut material stock.
Airpad machines produce bonded air-cell mats that absorb impact and eliminate loose-fill mess.
Paperpad units form corrugated pads for void fill and layer protection.
Both options reduce storage needs and simplify packing workflows.

Applications

FROMM’s solutions serve a wide range of industries and functions. These applications include e-commerce fulfilment, electronics, glass and furniture manufacturers, and third-party logistics operations that demand consistent protection at speed.

Key benefits

The airpad protective packaging withstand significant impact per pad, making them ideal for high-value consignments.
Suppliers experience reduced returns and fewer damaged items.
The use of airpads lower material consumption because air-based solutions are lightweight yet effective.
The integration of FROMM solutions leads to faster packing lines with on-demand production, reducing manual handling.
It also offers significant environmental advantages on two fronts: less waste and a smaller transport carbon footprint.

Choosing the right solution

When specifying a system consider throughput, footprint and the type of goods handled. Airpad film options accommodate different film grades and pad sizes, while paper systems suit heavier or moisture-sensitive products. FROMM provides compact units for small operations and larger models for industrial lines.

Why FROMM stands out

FROMM’s protective systems integrate with existing workflows and emphasise efficiency and reuse. Airpad material is composed predominantly of air, offering superior impact absorption with minimal film usage, which lowers both cost and storage volume. From compact machines to higher-capacity units, the range supports varied throughput and reduces reliance on bulk loose-fill.

Operational advantages and sustainability

Adopting FROMM’s protective packaging solutions often yields measurable savings. On-demand production reduces warehousing of consumables and allows teams to switch between cushioning types without halting lines. The right protective material lowers damage rates and reduces returns, while modern paperpad options support recyclable packaging streams.

Furthermore, choosing FROMM means access to systems designed for simple maintenance and low film usage, which supports corporate sustainability targets.
