Tube, Pipe, & Extrusion
Packaging Solutions Designed for Long, Heavy & Irregular Products
Tube, pipe, and extrusion manufacturers face unique packaging and handling challenges throughout production, storage, and transportation. Long product lengths, varying bundle sizes, heavy materials, sharp edges, and finished surfaces all require packaging systems capable of maintaining load integrity while protecting product quality.
Ameripak provides industrial packaging equipment, packaging supplies, and application-focused solutions designed to support tube, pipe, and extrusion operations nationwide.
Whether handling steel tubing, aluminum extrusions, PVC products, fabricated components, or bundled pipe, our goal is to help improve packaging consistency, reduce labor requirements, and minimize product damage throughout the shipping process.
Common Packaging Challenges
Tube, pipe, and extrusion operations commonly experience packaging-related issues such as:
- Product shifting during transportation
- Scratched or damaged finished surfaces
- Inconsistent bundle containment
- Excessive stretch film usage
- Labor-intensive manual wrapping
- Difficulty securing long or irregular products
- Damage caused during forklift handling
- Packaging bottlenecks slowing production flow
As throughput demands increase, these issues can quickly impact labor costs, shipping performance, and customer satisfaction.
Orbital Stretch Wrappers for Long Products
Orbital stretch wrappers — also commonly referred to as horizontal stretch wrappers — are commonly used for wrapping long and oversized products that are difficult to secure using traditional pallet wrapping systems.
These systems are ideal for:
- Steel tubing
- Pipe bundles
- Aluminum extrusions
- PVC products
- Trim components
- Structural profiles
- Fabricated assemblies
- Long industrial materials
Orbital wrappers apply stretch film around products horizontally as the material moves through the wrapping ring, helping improve containment and package consistency.
Improving Bundle Integrity & Product Protection for Tube and Pipe Packaging
Long products are often vulnerable to movement, scratching, and handling damage during transportation and storage.
Proper packaging can help improve:
- Bundle stability
- Surface protection
- Product presentation
- Forklift handling performance
- Shipping consistency
- Load containment
- Damage reduction
Reducing product movement during transportation helps minimize costly shipping damage and handling-related issues.
