This popular process achieves an overwrap on a soft, non-box shaped product by enveloping it (sometimes placed on a card or U-board) in film or foil and sealing the bottom.

diefold wrap style

The film forms either a box or circular shape around the product via a “die-box” in the machine’s elevator section. Limited application of heat (only to the bottom seal) gives the product a tuck-and-fold appearance that doesn’t need side sealers and won’t be crushed by the machine or melted by its heat.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are sometimes diefold-wrapped with one or two cups seated on a chocolate-colored U-board in cohesive film (which requires no heat for sealing). This has application for candies, granola and fruit bars,  cookies  and muffins whose manufacturers are looking for efficient use of film without the machine look of flow wrap.
