Short answer
HORFON supplies the consumables its machines run: grayboard for box and case panels, hot melt jelly glue for the gluing machines, and PVC tape for the corner pasting machines. Grades and sizes are confirmed with each quotation.
Overview
What the machines run on.
A rigid box line uses three consumables besides the cover paper. Greyboard is the structure of the box. Tape holds the corners of the folded shell until the paper is on. Glue bonds the cover paper to the board. HORFON supplies all three, so they can be quoted with the machines and matched to them.
There is no price list or fixed specification on this page: grades, thicknesses and sizes depend on the box and are confirmed with each quotation. What can be stated is what the machines accept.
