Carton Folding / Gluing Process

Converting equipment that folds and glues folding cartons at color craft

The final step in producing a high quality folding carton is folding/gluing of the two-dimensional die cuts. Precision gluing is essential in producing cartons for high speed filling equipment with the final user. Every folding carton that we produce is scanned for UPC accuracy and also passes through glue detection with a constant goal of 100% accuracy.

To ensure the accuracy we desire, our finishing process also includes specialized detection scanners to monitor any operation flaws or abnormalities. Through this precise system, we assure you that every folding carton delivered to you is perfect and meets your standards.

This process is fully automated and essential to bringing your product to life. This final step assembles all of the components of your product as well as folds, creases, pre-breaks, and glues the final pieces together. If certain folding cartons require transparent “windows” in their design, they are also added at this time.
