SECONDARY BAKERY & CONFECTIONERY PACKAGING
Packaging Automation that Preserves Delicate Details
Few products offer as much variety and sensitivity as the bakery and confectionery industry. From artisanal pastries and frosted cupcakes to shelf-stable snack bars and seasonal confectionery assortments, no two products — or packages — are the same. Douglas designs equipment that delivers precise orientation, gentle handling, and pristine presentation across formats like clamshells, cartons, pouches, tins, and tubs.
