How Are Flat-Pack Wet Wipes Produced?

In the traditional flat-pack style of wet wipes packaging, the process involves a sequential and precise set of steps to transform raw non-woven fabric into neatly packed wet wipes, ready for distribution.

 Here’s a streamlined look at the process:

• Unwinding the Jumbo Roll: The large roll of non-woven fabric is placed on the unwinding device of the wet wipes machine.

• First Cut for Width: A slitter cuts the fabric to the necessary width for individual wipes.

• Folding: The machine’s folding unit aligns the fabric according to product requirements.

• Humidification: The machine's tube applies wet wipe solution evenly, layer by layer.

• Second Cut for Length: A rotary cutter trims the wet fabric to the correct length.

• Stacking by Count: A PLC counter stacks the wipes to the specific amount needed per pack.

• Packaging and Sealing: The stacked wipes are fed into a packaging machine, sealed in three-side-sealed plastic bags.

• Lid Application (Optional): A lid applicator attaches plastic lids if required by the product design.

• Cartoning/Case Packing: The wipes are placed into cartons for secondary packaging and sealed.

• Palletizing: Cartons are stacked onto pallets for transport.

• Stretch Wrapping: The palletized stacks are wrapped in plastic film to prevent shifting or damage during transit.

This approach keeps the wipes clean, sealed, and organized, ideal for long-distance distribution. Each step is optimized to maintain the quality and functionality of the product from start to finish.
