In the production field of medical dressings, the packaging process of products such as bandages and gauze is directly related to the transportation safety of the products, the terminal image, and the production cost of enterprises. At present, the packaging process in the industry is usually divided into two stages: first, individual bandages are wrapped in small packages (pillow packages), and then several small packages are combined for large packaging. In the large packaging stage, many manufacturers are still hesitant about whether to choose vertical packaging machines or horizontal packaging machines.
As an expert deeply involved in the packaging machinery industry, Bin Hong, based on years of practical experience and technological accumulation, strongly recommends that bandage manufacturers adopt horizontal automatic packaging solutions in the large packaging process. We believe that horizontal packaging is significantly superior to vertical packaging in terms of compactness, material utilization rate and degree of automation, and is a wise choice for enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises.

I. Why "Horizontal"? -- Analysis of Core Advantages
1. Extremely compact and aesthetically pleasing
The working principle of the horizontal packaging machine is to horizontally arrange and stack small bandage packages, and then wrap and seal them. This "lying flat" packaging method ensures that the product is evenly stressed within the packaging film, resulting in a square and tight shape of the finished product. Unlike vertical packaging, it is less likely to have the problem of being "top-heavy" or loose at the top. For products like bandages that have a certain thickness and hardness, horizontal packaging can effectively prevent displacement and scattering during transportation, ensuring that the products remain in a perfect display state when they arrive at hospitals or pharmacies.
2. Significantly save film and reduce costs
This is the biggest highlight of Binhong's horizontal design. Our horizontal machine is equipped with an advanced intelligent film-saving system and servo pre-stretching technology. The system can precisely calculate the required length of the packaging film based on the collective size of the small bandage packages, eliminating unnecessary waste of scraps. Meanwhile, through the control of servo motors, the packaging film can be pre-stretched to become thinner and longer, achieving the effect of "using 1 meter of film as if it were 1.2 meters". According to actual measurement data, compared with the traditional vertical machine, the horizontal solution of Binhong can save 15% to 20% of packaging film consumables. For bandage manufacturers with huge production volumes, this directly translates into considerable net profits.
3. Fully automated, labor-saving and highly efficient
Binhong's horizontal automatic packaging machine integrates functions such as automatic conveying, intelligent material arrangement, precise counting and sealing and cutting. It can be seamlessly integrated with the pillow wrapping machine at the front end, from scattered single packages to neatly assembled large packages, without the need for manual intervention throughout the process. This not only resolves the current problems of difficult recruitment and high labor costs, but also significantly enhances production efficiency. The equipment operates stably and can meet the strict requirements of large-scale production.
Ii. Binhong Solution: Tailor-made for bandage production
Binhong not only offers a single machine, but also provides customers with a complete set of perfect post-packaging solutions.
<s:1> High compatibility design: Our equipment adopts a modular design. By simply adjusting parameters and replacing a small number of molds, it can meet the large packaging requirements of bandages of different specifications and quantities (such as 10-piece packs, 20-piece packs), offering extremely high flexibility.
High stability and intelligence: It adopts a high-performance PLC control system and high-precision servo motors to ensure stable operation of the equipment and a low failure rate. The equipped intelligent touch screen operation interface enables operators to easily monitor production data and adjust packaging parameters. Even beginners can quickly get started.
Strict hygiene standards: As medical product packaging equipment, we strictly adhere to relevant standards for medical devices. All parts in contact with the product are made of high-quality stainless steel, which is easy to clean and disinfect, ensuring that the production process meets the requirements of GMP sterile or clean workshops.
Iii. Conclusion
In the market competition of 2026 and beyond, medical dressing manufacturers will not only compete on product quality, but also on production efficiency and cost control capabilities. Although vertical packaging machines have their applications in certain fields, for the large-scale packaging of products such as bandages and gauze, the horizontal automatic packaging solution is undoubtedly a more advanced and economical choice.
Bin Hong is willing to assist a large number of bandage manufacturers in achieving production automation upgrades, reducing packaging costs and enhancing product images with its mature horizontal packaging technology. Choosing Binhong means choosing a future that is more compact, material-saving and efficient. Welcome to contact us to get your exclusive packaging solutions!
