Traditional Packaging Method:
In the process of modern industrial production, the traditional packaging method involves using a folder-gluer machine to fold coated paperboard into cartons, which are then transported to the next manufacturing facility. There, the products are manually or semi-automatically loaded into the cartons and sealed. The sealing process is carried out using tuck-in closures or adhesive bonding methods. This process wastes a significant amount of labor and logistics costs. It requires two or three, or even more, warehouse transfers and manual handling operations, which increase the added cost of the product.
One-Piece Forming Technology:
Our company has developed an automatic carton sealing system based on one-piece forming technology. Manufacturers only need to die-cut and crease the coated paperboard, and the carton can be formed directly. After forming, products are immediately stacked into the carton, or filled and loaded during the forming process. The carton is sealed using hot melt adhesive with a curing time of 1–2 seconds.This saves several intermediate steps. Once the machine starts running, the finished product is completed directly, without the need for multiple process transfers. The finished packaging is completed within the manufacturing factory, without the need to purchase additional equipment. It improves production efficiency, reduces logistics costs, and saves logistics space. The automatic one-piece carton forming system can produce open-top cartons, top-and-bottom lid cartons, and left-and-right opening cartons. Product loading and sealing can all be completed within one integrated system. With the application of software programs and vision technology, smarter packaging methods are showing their unique advantages.
Technical Advantages:
One-piece forming cartons, with their simple and efficient design, represent an innovative packaging model. From flat paperboard sheets to three-dimensional cartons and boxes, this remarkable transformation is completed quickly and precisely through an automated process.
The machinery developed and manufactured by Jiuji Company intelligently folds and forms the paperboard, creating a strong and attractive package structure for products.
The loading process further demonstrates the advantages of advanced control software and vision technology. The automated system can accurately place various products into cartons with high speed and precision. Whether small components or irregularly shaped products, all items can be properly positioned or stacked during the process without damage.
Using hot melt adhesive for sealing adds a secure locking layer to the carton, providing anti-counterfeiting protection and strong sealing performance. The hot melt adhesive bonding process ensures that the carton is tightly closed and protects the internal products from external factors.
This not only ensures product integrity but also improves the overall packaging quality.
For one-piece corrugated board automatic forming, semi-finished or finished products can be loaded after carton forming, stacked by robotic arms, and sealed with automatically sprayed hot melt adhesive. The adhesive cures within 1–2 seconds. This process is like carton forming and sealing, achieving the same purpose through different approaches, with even more impressive scale and efficiency.
Large-scale equipment can process larger-sized corrugated boards and meet the packaging requirements of various product specifications. In logistics, warehousing, and short-distance transportation applications, this technology improves operational efficiency while reducing labor and storage costs.
In short, the technical application of automatic forming for one-piece paper cards, followed by automatic sealing with instant curing of hot melt adhesive, stands not only as a symbol of industrial advancement but also brings tremendous convenience to our production.
It makes products safer and more reliable during transportation and storage and delivers strong support for enterprise development.
With continuous technological innovation, we firmly believe that the automation of one-piece cardboard processing will embrace broader prospects and create brilliant new chapters for the packaging industry.
