Product Overview
The Automatic Packaging Production Line is designed for flooring manufacturers that need a continuous, organized and scalable end-of-line packaging process. Suitable for products with lengths of 500–1000 mm, widths of 300–600 mm, and finished package heights of 25–80 mm, the line provides a production speed of approximately 8–12 boxes per minute.
Rather than operating as an independent packing machine, the production line coordinates product receiving, conveying, positioning, package preparation, automatic packing and finished-box discharge in one connected process. This helps reduce manual transfer between production stages and improves the balance between upstream flooring manufacturing and downstream warehouse operations.
With an installed power of approximately 28 kW and standard 380 V / 50 Hz electrical configuration, the line is suitable for SPC, LVT, WPC, vinyl flooring and similar panel products. Layout, conveyor direction and optional downstream equipment can be customized according to factory requirements.
Cause – Why Packaging Becomes a Production Bottleneck
Many flooring factories improve extrusion, cutting, profiling and surface treatment capacity but continue using labor-intensive packaging methods.
As upstream production becomes faster, the packaging area may become the limiting factor of the entire factory.
Typical problems include:
-
Finished flooring accumulates before the packaging station.
-
Operators cannot maintain a stable packing rhythm.
-
Manual transfers interrupt continuous production.
-
Different shifts produce different packaging efficiency.
-
More labor is required when production capacity increases.
-
Products are repeatedly moved between separate stations.
-
Packaging equipment and upstream machines do not work at the same production rhythm.
-
Finished cartons require additional manual movement to labeling or palletizing areas.
-
Production data is difficult to standardize.
-
Future automation upgrades require repeated factory modifications.
When these issues occur, simply adding another packing machine may not solve the underlying problem.
A complete packaging production line should be designed around the actual product flow and required output of the factory.
Solution – Integrated Automatic Packaging Production Line
The Automatic Packaging Production Line provides a connected end-of-line solution for flooring manufacturing.
The line is designed to receive finished products from the upstream production process and move them through each packaging stage in a controlled sequence.
The standard product range includes:
Instead of relying on workers to manually transfer products between individual machines, the automatic production line coordinates each stage through conveyors and control systems.
A typical configuration can include:
Product Infeed → Alignment → Buffering → Pack Formation → Automatic Packing → Finished Box Conveying
Optional downstream processes can then be added according to the customer's factory requirements.
These may include:
-
Weight checking
-
Code printing
-
Automatic labeling
-
Wrapping
-
Box accumulation
-
Palletizing
-
Robotic handling
The objective is to create one continuous production flow rather than several isolated packaging stations.

Application
The Automatic Packaging Production Line can be used in both new flooring factories and existing factories planning automation upgrades.
SPC Flooring Manufacturing
SPC production normally involves continuous extrusion, cutting, profiling and finishing processes.
A packaging production line can help maintain continuous product flow after production and reduce the need for workers to move finished flooring manually.
LVT Flooring Production
LVT factories producing multiple product formats can use the automatic line to standardize the packaging process and improve the connection between production and warehouse operations.
WPC Flooring Production
The line can be configured for compatible WPC flooring sizes and packaging formats, helping manufacturers automate product handling after production.
Vinyl Flooring Factories
Vinyl flooring products within the required dimensional range can be transferred and packed automatically according to the selected package format.
New Flooring Factory Projects
For a new factory, the complete packaging line can be planned together with the overall production layout from the beginning.
This makes it easier to arrange:
Existing Line Automation
Factories currently using manual packing can gradually upgrade by integrating automatic conveying, packing and downstream handling equipment.
How It Works
The production line follows a coordinated sequence from finished flooring arrival to completed package discharge.
Step 1: Product Infeed
Finished flooring products enter the packaging production line from upstream manufacturing equipment.
The infeed section receives the products and transfers them toward the next stage.
Step 2: Product Detection
Sensors detect incoming products and communicate with the line control system.
This helps maintain stable spacing between products and coordinates the production cycle.
Step 3: Alignment and Positioning
Products are guided into the correct position before pack formation.
Proper alignment is important for consistent downstream packaging.
Step 4: Buffer Control
A buffer section can temporarily hold products when the packaging process slows down.
This helps prevent unnecessary stops of upstream production equipment.
Step 5: Pack Formation
Flooring boards are grouped according to the required number of pieces per box.
The final package height should remain within the designed range of 25–80 mm.
Step 6: Automatic Packing
Prepared flooring packs enter the automatic packing section.
The packaging process is completed according to the customer's carton configuration.
Step 7: Finished Box Discharge
Completed boxes leave the packing section through the discharge conveyor.
Step 8: Optional Finishing Processes
Finished cartons can continue to additional equipment for:
Weighing → Printing → Labeling → Wrapping → Palletizing
This creates a complete end-of-line production process.
How To Choose the Right Automatic Packaging Production Line
Choosing a packaging production line requires more information than selecting an individual machine.
The entire production flow should be evaluated before determining the final configuration.
1. Confirm Product Dimensions
Provide the minimum and maximum:
The standard system handles flooring between 500–1000 mm long and 300–600 mm wide.
2. Confirm Package Specifications
Provide:
-
Pieces per box
-
Finished package height
-
Carton dimensions
-
Finished carton weight
-
Packaging orientation
The standard package height range is 25–80 mm.
3. Confirm Required Capacity
The standard production speed is approximately 8–12 boxes/min.
The packaging line should be matched to the real production capacity of the upstream flooring line.
A packaging line that is too slow can create accumulation, while an unnecessarily oversized line may increase project cost without providing additional production value.
4. Evaluate Upstream Equipment
Provide information about the machines before the packaging line, including:
This allows engineers to design a smoother connection.
5. Determine Downstream Automation
Consider whether the factory also requires:
-
Labeling
-
Weight checking
-
Wrapping
-
Palletizing
-
Robotic handling
Planning these processes from the beginning can simplify future production expansion.
6. Provide Factory Layout
For a complete production line project, the factory layout is one of the most important technical documents.
The drawing should ideally show:
-
Existing machines
-
Columns
-
Walls
-
Available floor space
-
Product flow direction
-
Warehouse direction
-
Operator aisles
-
Palletizing area
7. Confirm Electrical Standards
The standard machine configuration is 380 V / 50 Hz.
Electrical specifications can be evaluated according to the requirements of different countries and factories.
