Automatic Box Pasting Machine

Product Overview

The automatic box pasting machine is a post-printing converting machine designed for automatic forming of folding cartons and micro corrugated cartons. It completes feeding, pre-folding, glue application, folding, pressing and collection processes to convert die-cut carton blanks into finished boxes.

According to different carton structures, the machine can be configured for straight line boxes, crash lock bottom boxes and other folding carton styles. It is widely used for pharmaceutical boxes, cosmetic cartons, food packaging boxes, daily product packaging and micro corrugated carton production.

Important Difference:
The automatic box pasting machine is mainly designed for folding cartons and micro corrugated cartons.
For three-layer and five-layer corrugated shipping cartons, customers should select an automatic folder gluer (corrugated box gluer), which is designed for corrugated carton production.

Key Features

• Automatic processing integrates carton feeding, pre-folding, gluing, folding, pressing and collection.
• The machine can produce standard four-fold crash lock bottom boxes in one continuous process.
• The pre-folding section completes 180° folding and third-line 135° pre-folding according to carton structure, helping finished cartons open easily and making them suitable for automatic packing lines.
• The gluing unit provides adjustable glue application according to carton requirements.
• The folding section adopts controlled conveying structures to maintain carton forming accuracy during folding.
• The pressing section applies continuous pressure after folding to improve bonding stability.
• PLC and HMI control system allows operators to adjust machine parameters according to production requirements.
• Different machine configurations are available according to carton structure, material and production requirements.

FAQ

1. What is an automatic box pasting machine used for?

It is used to automatically form folding cartons and micro corrugated cartons after die cutting through feeding, gluing, folding and pressing processes.

2. What is the difference between a box pasting machine and a folder gluer?

A box pasting machine is mainly used for folding cartons and micro corrugated cartons, while a folder gluer is mainly used for corrugated shipping cartons made from multi-layer corrugated board.

3. Can this machine produce crash lock bottom boxes?

Yes. The four-fold crash lock bottom configuration is designed for automatic production of standard crash lock bottom cartons.

4. Why does the machine have pre-folding functions?

The 180° and 135° pre-folding processes reduce carton folding resistance and help finished cartons open more easily for automatic packing operations.

5. What materials can be processed by this machine?

It is mainly designed for paperboard and E/F flute micro corrugated board. Material suitability depends on carton structure and machine configuration.

6. Can it process laminated or coated cartons?

The suitability depends on the surface condition of the material, adhesive type and machine configuration. Customers should confirm material samples before production.

7. What information is required for machine selection?

Customers should provide carton samples, unfolded carton dimensions, material type, carton structure and production requirements.
