A cartoning machine is an automated packaging equipment used to pack products into cartons or boxes. It commonly forms erect, closed, folded, side-seamed, and sealed cartons. It consists of belt, or bucket conveyors, loading, printing, vision inspection, and control systems. A cartoning machine is widely used for forming cartons and storing products inside the carton, either manually or automatically, and then folding or sealing the carton with glue for the further transportation process. It is a cost-effective, reliable, and essential piece of equipment for many industries, as it improves packaging efficiency and reduces labor costs. It also helps to improve product quality, increase productivity, and ensures enhanced quality and accuracy of the packaging process. As a result, cartoning machines find extensive applications across the food and beverage (F&B), healthcare, and e-commerce industries.
