Case Study
Global packaging supplier finds unique solution with Combi case erector
THE CLIENT/PRODUCT
The client is a global leader in corrugated packaging solutions for a multitude of shopping categories, with 50,000 team members and more than 320 facilities.
THE CHALLENGE
The company produces chip-board cartons, which are stacked on their side and require a flat bottom for protection. To accomplish getting a flat-bottomed case, flaps must be folded in reverse. Because they couldn’t find a machine to accomplish what they needed – proper reverse flap folds for their largest cases, with no wrinkles and without tape – employees erected the cartons by hand. They needed a solution that delivered product satisfaction and reduced labor costs.
The Solution
This Combi high-speed case erector does what other machines can’t. It folds the flaps in reverse for the largest case sizes and produces completely flat bottoms for cartons, with no wrinkles or dents.
It can run a standard RSC, HSC or gap-flap case, with and without tape. It also can run in alternative (reverse) mode, achieving either minor, minor, major, major folding or major, major, minor, minor folding.
