Carton Erector & Sealer
Flat cardboard → folded, taped box, ready to fill.

Hand-folding cartons is slow, hurts wrists, and produces uneven boxes that jam downstream packers. A case erector pulls one blank from a magazine, opens it, folds the bottom flaps, and applies tape (or hot-melt glue) — every box identical, every minute.
Step by step
- 01
Operator loads a stack of flat blanks into the magazine (holds 50–200).
- 02
A vacuum cup pulls one blank from the stack and presents it to the forming station.
- 03
Side flaps are pre-broken; the box is squared by mechanical guides.
- 04
Bottom minor flaps fold in; major flaps fold under.
- 05
A tape head (or glue gun) seals the bottom seam.
- 06
The open box exits onto the next station — filler, packer, or palletizer.
What's in the cell
- Blank magazine (capacity 50–200 cartons)
- Vacuum pick-and-place head
- Forming mandrel with flap pre-breakers
- Tape head (2" or 3" pressure-sensitive) or hot-melt gun + nozzle
- PLC for cycle and changeover
- Optional carton-low alarm with reorder ping
Where it fits

Sized to your line
These ranges cover most installations — exact spec depends on your product, throughput target, and integration constraints. We confirm everything before quoting.
Stand-alone unit — no integration needed beyond plugging in air and power. We size against your fastest and slowest blank, and dial in the tape tension for clean seams.
