In today’s fast-paced manufacturing world, companies are looking for smarter, more reliable ways to handle their end-of-line operations. From case forming to sealing, every second counts — and manual labor simply can’t keep up with demand. That’s where EndFlex steps in. With over 30 years of experience in automated packaging, EndFlex provides integrated, flexible, and cost-effective end-of-line solutions built to maximize uptime and throughput.

Automating the Foundation: Case Forming

The packaging line starts with a sturdy, perfectly formed case — and EndFlex’s Boxxer™ series of case formers deliver just that. These machines are designed to handle various case styles, including RSC, AutoLock, and snap-lock bottoms, with precision and speed. The result? Uniform, square cases that form the foundation of efficient and secure product packing.

Automation at this stage eliminates inconsistencies caused by manual folding, reduces downtime, and ensures your downstream processes run smoother than ever.

Smarter Loading with Robotic Integration

Once the cases are formed, it’s time to load them. EndFlex offers customized robotic case loading systems that handle products of nearly any size, weight, or configuration. Whether it’s cartons, pouches, bottles, or bags, these robotic loaders are engineered to adapt — delivering consistent, accurate placements that keep your production line moving.

For even greater flexibility, EndFlex integrates collation systems and vision-guided robotics, enabling high-speed product orientation, sorting, and loading — all within a compact footprint.

Sealing the Deal: Tape, Glue, or Both

No end-of-line system is complete without a reliable case sealer. EndFlex’s PopLok™, Boxxer™, and EZ Tape™ sealers use tape, hot melt glue, or a combination of both to ensure your cases stay securely closed during shipping and handling.

By integrating automated sealing directly into the line, companies can achieve faster cycle times, fewer errors, and consistent results — without relying on manual intervention.

End-to-End Automation That Adapts to You

What sets EndFlex apart is its modular approach to automation. Every system is designed to work as a standalone machine or as part of a complete turnkey solution — integrating seamlessly with conveyors, labeling machines, palletizers, and more.

This scalability ensures manufacturers can start small and expand over time without replacing their core systems — making EndFlex a future-ready partner for growing businesses.
