Side Seam Gluer
Our Side Seam Gluer efficiently folds and glues flat cartons, producing ready-to-use side-seam cartons ahead of downstream cartoning. Designed for cost-effective, space-saving operation, it maximizes floor space and simplifies logistics, allowing flat cartons to be stored more efficiently while reducing transport volume and costs.
Built for speed, precision, and flexibility, this system supports high-throughput production while maintaining consistent glue application and carton quality. With automated controls and recipe-driven size changes, the Side Seam Gluer integrates seamlessly into modern packaging lines to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.
Your Problems End Where Our Solution Starts
Managing carton preparation can be expensive and space-intensive, especially when storing pre-glued cartons. Inefficient processes can lead to higher material costs, increased line footprint, and logistical challenges.
Our Side Seam Gluer addresses these issues by processing flat cartons on demand, folding and gluing them accurately and quickly. With on-the-fly glue adjustment, auto size change, and vision-based reject systems, it ensures consistent quality, reduces waste, and streamlines packaging operations while saving time, space, and cost.
