Everything on your production floor leads to one place: the end of the line.
Creative Packaging Solutions engineers and integrates complete end-of-line packaging automation systems tailored to your facility, line speed, and goals. Whether you’re starting from scratch or tightening up an existing line, we’ll design a system that works.
End-of-line packaging automation covers every step that happens after production or primary packing, before your product ships. These end-of-line packaging systems handle secondary packaging, coding, palletizing, and load containment to get your finished goods out the door efficiently and consistently.
A complete system can include:
The right combination depends on your product, your package format, your throughput targets, and your existing footprint. That is exactly what we figured out together.
We specify, source, engineer, and commission end-of-line packaging machinery across all major categories, working with proven manufacturers such as FANUC Robotics, Wexxar Packaging, and Texwrap Systems.

We have designed and integrated end-of-line packaging solutions for manufacturers and distributors across a wide range of industries, including:
Every system is built around the specific demands of your application, not a catalog default.
Creative Packaging Solutions is based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and serves manufacturers and distributors across the contiguous United States. We are with you from initial engineering review through installation, commissioning, and ongoing service support, wherever your facility is located.
“The starter conveyor project has been installed and has been working to expectations for the last three to four months. The process from concept through final install and commissioning was a very thorough and professionally managed project.“
– Terrence M. Spisak, President, Surtech Industries
Our clients include Hanover Foods, Freshpet, Menasha, Fil-Tec, and Surtech Industries. Our team holds Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification and is a member of ISN (ISNetworld), reflecting our commitment to contractor safety and compliance on every job site. We are also a proud member of the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce.
“In 2021 we purchased 2 FANUC Robots for case palletizing from Creative Packaging. Prior to the robots, we would downpile cases onto the skid with manual labor. Since we installed 2 Robots we are able to run 4 Folder/Gluer high speed lines with 2 Robots and an integrated Fully Automatic Pallet Stretch Wrapper. This has eliminated the manual labor of downpiling cases and also stretch wrapping the pallet. This has streamlined the process, and we are well pleased with the outcome. We needed to add this automation to help with the labor shortage and repetitive tasks. Creative Packaging provided all the training to get us comfortable with the programming on our own, they were always available to assist with whatever we needed. The robots have been performing since installation.“

Ready to explore what end-of-line packaging automation could do for your operation? Share a few details and an engineer will reach out to discuss your line, your goals, and the best path forward.
Buying end-of-line packaging machines from multiple vendors is a common approach. It is also where ROI tends to get lost. When equipment, controls, conveyors, and safety systems are not designed to work together, you end up with incompatibilities, downtime, and workarounds that eat into your savings.
When you work with Creative Packaging Solutions, you get one accountable partner from design through commissioning. No vendor finger-pointing. No gaps in responsibility. Just a system designed to run as a whole, documented, commissioned, and supported by the same team that built it.
We are an authorized integrator for Wexxar Packaging and Texwrap Systems, and we work with manufacturers like FANUC Robotics to deliver tested, proven end-of-line packaging systems backed by real integration expertise.
If the end of your line is where output slows down, quality varies, or labor costs pile up, a properly integrated system can fix that. Creative Packaging Solutions will assess your setup, identify the gaps, and design a solution built around your throughput goals and your facility.
If you are researching end-of-line packaging automation for the first time or comparing your options, these questions come up often. Here are straightforward answers to help you move forward with confidence.
End-of-line packaging automation covers the equipment and systems that handle products after production or primary packing and before they ship. This includes case erecting, case sealing, tray forming, shrink wrapping, stretch wrapping, coding and marking, labeling, palletizing, and conveyor integration.
A complete system can include case erectors, tray formers, case sealers, shrink wrappers such as Texwrap Systems equipment, stretch wrappers, robotic palletizers such as FANUC Robotics systems, coding and labeling systems, conveyors, and inspection equipment. The right mix depends on your product, format, and throughput requirements.
Automation replaces repetitive manual tasks, such as case sealing, labeling, and palletizing, with consistent machine cycles. This reduces headcount requirements in high-turnover roles, cuts overtime, and eliminates the quality variation that comes with manual processes.
Food and beverage, pet food, CPG, industrial manufacturing, contract packaging, and distribution and fulfillment are the most common. Any operation packaging products at volume for distribution can benefit.
An integrator delivers better ROI. Standalone machines from multiple vendors create compatibility risks across controls, conveyors, and safety systems. An integrator designs your line as a whole, gives you one accountable partner, and supports the system long after commissioning. Creative Packaging Solutions is an authorized integrator for Wexxar Packaging and Texwrap Systems and works with manufacturers like FANUC Robotics to deliver complete, tested systems.
It depends on scope. A single machine integration can take a few weeks from order to commissioning. A full multi-machine system typically ranges from several months to a year. A project assessment at the start of the process gives you a clear, realistic timeline.
ROI comes from reduced labor costs, increased throughput, fewer defects and rework cycles, lower downtime, and better load quality. A properly integrated system reaches positive ROI faster than a piecemeal equipment purchase because it is optimized as a complete line from day one.
