Can carrier applicators

One carrier.
Every speed.

Whether you're hand-packing a taproom release or running a daily canning line, there's a Proper Pack applicator sized for it — and every one of them runs the same recyclable paper carrier. Start with the manual included in the Starter Kit, then step up to the packing table or the automatic line as your volume grows.

Start small, upgrade as you grow

Every applicator runs the same recyclable paper carriers — so as you move from hand-packing to a manual to a fully automatic line, only the machine changes, never your packaging. New accounts get a manual applicator included with the Starter Kit.

Manual Applicator

Designed to integrate with your current canning production process. It mirrors the hand-application motion of a PakTech carrier, so a crew that packs plastic today already knows how to use it. The manual applicator and carrier magazine are included with the $265 Starter Kit (plus shipping), which also ships with two cases of 4PK 211 carriers — so most new accounts never buy the applicator separately.

FAQ

Common questions

Most new accounts start with the Manual — low-cost, no infrastructure, and included with a Starter Kit. As you grow into statewide distribution, the Packing Table roughly doubles throughput. For daily production lines, the Automatic runs up to 120 cans per minute.
