Craft-Pak Versa® ApplicatorsNEW

The new VPA-80 streamlines can carrier application, turning a routine step into a fast, seamless part of your packaging process. Built for our 100% biodegradable* Craft‑Pak® Versa carriers, which offer up to 50% less plastic and 25% lower cost than alternatives, it helps growing breweries boost efficiency while cutting packaging costs.

The VPA-80 runs at up to 80 cans per minute. It requires just one operator to load carriers, apply handles and pack trays for palletizing — freeing your team to focus on quality and production.

Additionally, the flexible VPA-80 handles 12, 16 and 19.2 oz. cans with no changeparts needed for switching between 4- and 6-packs. A quick height adjustment is all it takes. With a small footprint and 90° left or right inline configurations, it fits easily into most layouts.

Best of all, it’s budget-friendly. Priced around $11,500, the VPA‑80 offers fast ROI, often in under a year, when paired with Craft‑Pak® Versa carriers. Less labor, more speed and lower costs make it the smart upgrade for your canning line.
