Confectionery Packaging

High speed precision for small carton packaging

The trusted partner for global candy and gum manufacturers.

Candy and confectionery producers require high-speed, high-quantity output sometimes as high as 300 pieces wrapped and sealed per minute, with totals exceeding 90,000 pieces per day. They require specialty packaging that is safe, high-quality, and appealing to consumers. The candy aisle is always shifting, and changing, with new packaging arriving on shelves to suit a marketplace that is both seasonal and ever evolving. This requires flexible and cost-effective value chain management. Nordson understand the needs of candy and confectionery operations.

Confectionery MiniBlue II Slim Gum Package

High speed precision for small carton packaging

Confectionery packaging often features very small, glued flaps which need to be glued neatly, precisely, and at very high speeds. Small folding boxes are often used for sweets and chewing gum. Cardboard sheaths and wrappers are used for bars of chocolate. Nordson applicators deliver high speeds, durability, and precision. Our pneumatic MiniBlue® II applicators, often referred to as "non-stop sprinters", work with a minimum switching time of 2 milliseconds and achieve a service life of more than 100 million cycles.

Nordson’s Sapphire applicator delivers a 0.6 millisecond cycle time, making it the fastest adhesive applicator technology in the world. Delivering patterns ranging from full beads to the smallest, most precise dots, Sapphire offers repeatable precision, a long service life, and demanding product patterns at a fraction of the cost.
