Six box types, each with its line.

Six: collapsible rigid box, lid-and-base rigid box, book-style and magnetic box, drawer box (slipcase), round box and paper tube and paper card box. Each box type page lists the process steps, the machine for each step and the ways to equip the line.

The drawer box (slipcase): 3 steps and 3 machines (HF-1200, HF-320 and HF-320A). The book-style and magnetic box involves the most, 14 machines across 6 steps, because the case, the inner box and the closure are made separately and then joined.

Partly. 8 machines are used for more than one box type, for example the HF-1200 (4 box types), the HF-1300 (3 box types) and the HF-1050 (3 box types). The HF-1050 positioning line handles both rigid box shells and hardcover case boards. The forming, wrapping and assembly steps are specific to each structure.

A rigid box is a greyboard shell wrapped in printed or specialty paper, made by grooving, corner taping, gluing, positioning and wrapping. A paper card box is formed from a single die-cut blank of 210–350 g card, with no greyboard and no wrapping, on the HF-4350 or HF-3250.

The collapsible rigid box. Its side wings fold inward on triangle plates, so it is delivered flat and folded up by the packer. The HF-8020 or HF-800D wraps the wings and the HF-1150 assembles the box at 15–20 pieces per minute.

Send a drawing or a sample. Several machines handle special shapes: the HF-500A wraps oval, D-shaped and racetrack-shaped boxes, the HF-320A takes hexagonal and octagonal boxes with extra parts, and the HF-600 sprays glue along round and special-shaped outlines.
