POST-FILL & PACKAGING PRODUCTS
Post-fill equipment takes sealed cans from the filler to a finished, shippable package. CODI's lineup covers drying, labeling, carrier application, case packing, and palletizing for craft and high-volume production. The Flex Stack gantry system handles both palletizing and depalletizing, making it a dual-purpose option for facilities looking to automate both ends of the line.
Compact gantry palletizer/depalletizer. Handles heavier loads than a cobot and at higher speeds. Browser-based interface, no outside programming required.

Servo-driven drop packer that automates case loading. Handles products gently with precise, high-speed placement into cartons.
Applies pressure-sensitive labels to wet or dry cans. Consistent placement and adhesion for high-volume production.
Applies ring handles, PakTech, or cardboard carriers to create retail-ready multi-packs.
Removes product overflow and partially dries cans after filling, leaving a clean surface ready for labeling and pack-out.

POST-FILL & PACKAGING BASICS
After filling and seaming, the next step is getting product into a finished, shipment-ready package as efficiently as possible. Post-fill packaging refers to all operations that follow sealing: drying, labeling, grouping, cartoning, and palletizing. In modern production environments, these functions are not afterthoughts — they directly affect brand presentation, logistics efficiency, and overall line throughput. Automated post-fill systems perform these tasks with higher consistency and speed than manual methods, reducing labor costs and minimizing product damage or contamination.
Consistent post-fill automation reduces downtime and waste by limiting rework and product damage. One automated system can replace multiple manual roles, freeing personnel for higher-value work. Integrated conveyance and accumulation connect each post-fill process and allow the line to absorb normal variation without repeated stoppages. Clean, accurately labeled, retail-ready packages also reflect product quality and build customer trust at the point of sale.
Post-fill operations follow a typical sequence: rinse and dry → label → apply carrier or carton → pack into cases → palletize. Blower dry-off systems remove surface moisture before labeling. Label applicators apply pressure-sensitive labels to wet or dry containers. Carrier applicators group cans into retail-ready multi-packs using ring handles, PakTech carriers, or cardboard tops. Servo-controlled box packers automate placement of containers into shipping cases. Gantry palletizers then stack finished cases onto pallets for storage and distribution.
Selecting post-fill equipment depends on production volume, SKU mix, floor space, and integration with upstream systems. Mobile and modular configurations allow multiple functions — rinse, dry, label, and carry — to be combined on a single reconfigurable platform, which is particularly useful when floor space is constrained or production requirements change frequently. Conveyance design between stations is critical: accumulation capacity should match the most variable point on your line to avoid stoppages.
CODI's packaging and post-fill lineup is engineered to integrate directly with upstream filling and seaming systems, completing the journey from production line to pallet. Each component — from the rinse and dry box to the Flex Stack palletizer — is designed for smooth end-to-end line integration. CODI's engineers work with customers to understand line requirements and recommend solutions that balance speed, footprint, and total cost of ownership.
