Lehigh Acres sits fifteen miles east of Fort Myers in the Cape Coral-Fort Myers corridor, a stretch of Southwest Florida where packaging automation moves citrus, juice, and confections from grove and kitchen to grocery shelf. Chicago developer Lee Ratner platted the community in the mid-1950s as a grid of half- and quarter-acre residential lots, and it has grown into a bedroom community with a 2020 census population of 114,287 and little industry of its own. Production sits in Fort Myers instead, where a third-generation packinghouse squeezes citrus into fresh juice and a chocolatier founded in 2001 has built a national reputation for premium chocolates that ship well beyond the county line.

A chocolatier wrapping delicate shells needs a wrapper that won't crush them, and a juice packer sealing fresh-squeezed citrus needs a bottle-fill line that seals every bottle before the drive north. We answer both with Pack Series flow-wrap lines that wrap each chocolate individually before it goes into a gift box, and premade pouch and bottle-fill lines that seal and label fresh juice before it leaves the packinghouse. The chocolates travel farther, so gift boxes built for national orders take a different case pack than juice bottles headed to nearby Cape Coral and Fort Myers grocers. Mars Series VFFS baggers round out the line for any dry-mix or powdered product a producer adds later, and case packers box everything bound for distribution beyond the Cape Coral-Fort Myers corridor.
