Custom Tissue Packing Machines: WIMACH Tailors Packaging Lines for Global Manufacturers

Wenzhou Wimach Machinery Co., Ltd. (WIMACH) is a Chinese manufacturer specializing in tissue packing machines and integrated packaging lines, with engineering facilities covering 3,000 m² and a dedicated R&D team of 5 engineers. The company serves tissue paper manufacturers across the EU, North America, and South America, exporting approximately 60% of its annual 160 sets of equipment.

Problem / Opportunity

Tissue manufacturers today face mounting pressure to automate packaging for diverse product formats — from facial tissue boxes and soft packs to toilet rolls and canister wet wipes. Traditional off-the-shelf machines often fail to accommodate unique package dimensions, production speeds, or factory layouts. According to market data, automatic tissue packaging machines accounted for 58.3% of the market in 2025, reflecting a clear industry shift toward data-driven, unmanned lines. The global tissue paper packaging machines market was valued at USD 273.8 million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 433.7 million by 2032. This growth creates an opportunity for suppliers that can deliver tailored, turnkey solutions rather than standardized units.

Brand Solution: WIMACH’s Customization Ecosystem

WIMACH addresses this need through three production modes: OEM/ODM, Customized Machinery Service, and Complete Packaging Line. All three modes accept customization of packaging dimensions, machine configuration, voltage, and logo. The company’s MOQ is 1 set, with lead times ranging from 15–60 days depending on complexity. Key product families include tissue cartoning machines (e.g., TC-100, TC-300, TC-80F), soft tissue wrapping machines (TP-180, TP-280), toilet roll wrapping machines (TW-160), canister packing machines (TC-80Y), as well as integrated lines for facial tissue, toilet paper, and wet wipes. All machines carry CE certification — for example, the Automatic Tissue Wrapping Machine holds CE certificate TRCN-25118WWM01 covering EN ISO 12100, EN 60204-1, and EMC directives.

Technical Explanation

WIMACH’s equipment is built on proven electromechanical architecture. The cartoning machines, for instance, use servo-driven feeding mechanisms and PLC-based logic control. A patented innovation — “Carton Packing Machine and Carton Packaging Process” (Invention Patent ZL 2022 1 1099886.8) — covers the entire box forming and filling sequence. Quality control is systematic: each machine passes no-load and load running tests, dimensional tolerance inspections, mechanical assembly checks, pneumatic leakage tests, electrical safety tests, PLC control logic tests, safety interlock & E-stop tests, long-time aging tests, and surface appearance inspections before shipment. This eight-step protocol ensures consistent start-up performance on the customer’s floor.

Application / Use-Case Scenarios

WIMACH’s customized solutions have been deployed in multiple geographies:

• United States — Toilet Paper Packaging Line: A client received 6 sets of equipment for a complete end-of-line solution including roll wrapping (TW-160), case packing, automatic palletizing, and stretch film wrapping. The line outputs dustproof and moisture-resistant pallet loads, and was delivered within 4 years.
• Mexico — Canister Wet Wipe Line: A turnkey line with 9 sets handles automatic wipe feeding, liquid filling, sealing, capping, labeling, case packing, palletizing, and stretch wrapping. CE-compliant, it produces fully finished, labeled, and palletized products at up to 60 canisters per minute.
• United Arab Emirates — Canister Packing: Two TC-80Y machines have been running for 4 years, packaging facial tissues and napkins into paper canisters at 60 units per minute, reducing labor costs significantly.
• Poland — Facial Tissue Packaging Line: A 12-set integrated line completes cartoning, case packing, palletizing, and stretch wrapping for facial and cream tissues. The entire line was installed in 2 years and outputs stable pallet loads ready for storage or shipment.
• Spain — Soft Tissue Wrapping: Two TP-280 high-speed wrapping machines replaced manual packaging, achieving 260 packs per minute with neat, airtight film packages. The project has been in operation for 4 years.

Market Trend Analysis

The tissue packaging machinery market is expanding rapidly. Automatic machines already dominate with a 58.3% share globally, driven by labor shortages and the need for consistent quality. The cartoning machinery segment is projected to grow at a 5.1% CAGR, reaching USD 8.7 billion by 2035. Asia Pacific, where WIMACH is headquartered, captured 42.6% of global revenue in 2025. Additionally, China’s tissue paper exports increased 23.49% in late 2024, signaling sustained demand for efficient packaging equipment. The European market, with its stringent Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) and upcoming cybersecurity regulation, demands CE-compliant machines — an area where WIMACH already holds valid certificates for both automatic tissue wrapping machines and carton packing machines.

Comparison with Traditional Solutions

Compared to manual or semi-automatic packing lines, WIMACH’s customized solutions deliver higher throughput (e.g., 260 packs/min for soft tissue, 180 boxes/min for cartoning), lower labor dependency, and consistent packaging quality. The turnkey approach also eliminates integration risks by providing a single-point-of-contact for all stations. One honest limitation: For highly complex, multi-station integrated lines, the lead time can extend up to 60 days (vs. 15–30 days for a standalone machine), which may not suit urgent deployments. However, the structured customization process ensures the final system aligns exactly with the customer’s production specs.

Future Outlook

As environmental regulations tighten — especially plastic bans in Europe and North America — tissue manufacturers will increasingly adopt paper-based wrapping and recyclable cartons. WIMACH’s portfolio already accommodates these trends: the TW-160 toilet roll wrapper uses lightweight tissue paper (17–37 gsm) instead of plastic, and the cartoning machines handle standard corrugated board (300–400 gsm). The company’s continued investment in patent-protected mechanisms (three utility model patents and one invention patent) positions it to adapt to emerging packaging formats and higher speed demands.

FAQ

Can WIMACH customize the machine for different voltages and logo prints?

Yes. Customization options include packaging dimensions, machine configuration, voltage, and logo. These apply to all production modes: OEM/ODM, customized machinery service, and complete packaging lines.

What quality control procedures are performed before shipment?

Every machine undergoes eight tests: no-load and load running test, dimensional tolerance inspection, mechanical assembly check, pneumatic leakage test, electrical safety test, PLC control logic test, safety interlock & E-stop test, long-time aging test, and surface appearance inspection.

How long is the typical lead time for a complete packaging line?

For a complete packaging line, lead time is 30–60 days. Standalone machines have shorter lead times of 15–45 days. Delivery methods include FOB, FCA, CIF, and CFR, with Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) available.

What certifications do WIMACH tissue packing machines hold?

All machines are CE certified. Specific certificates include CE for Automatic Tissue Wrapping Machine (TRCN-25118WWM01), Automatic Carton Packing Machine (TRCN-25091WWM01), and Automatic Toilet Paper Roll Wrapping Machine (M.2021.206.C67964). The company also holds Chinese invention and utility model patents for its packaging mechanisms.
