Glue workflow
Suitable when carton structure and material can be closed by glue. Glue method and pressing time should be discussed.
Corrugated carton closing
Folder gluer stitcher machine sourcing
For corrugated carton workflows where gluing, stitching, or a combined closing process is required. The machine should be selected by carton size, board flute, closing method, nail distance, speed target, and the buyer's line layout.
Application fit
Used after corrugated printing, slotting, or die cutting
A folder gluer stitcher machine is considered when carton closing needs more than a simple folding and gluing step. Some carton factories use stitching for heavier corrugated boxes, some use gluing, and some need both options in one production workflow.
Before quotation, the carton structure, flute type, and closing method should be confirmed. This avoids selecting a line that is too narrow, too short, or not suited to the buyer's carton range.
ProductsCorrugated cartons, shipping cartons, and selected heavy-duty packaging boxes.
Main processesFeeding, folding, gluing, stitching, pressing, counting, and downstream collection.
Buyer inputsCarton size range, flute type, closing process, nail distance, speed target, voltage, and layout.
Stitching workflow
Often discussed for corrugated cartons where staples are required. Nail distance and carton strength expectations should be stated.
Combined workflow
Useful when the buyer needs flexibility between carton types. The required operating mode should be confirmed before quotation.
Configuration points
Closing method and carton size drive selection
Carton size range
Finished carton and unfolded blank dimensions determine machine width, folding section, and collection setup.
Board flute and thickness
Corrugated board type affects feeding stability, folding force, stitching result, and pressing requirements.
Closing method
State whether the carton requires gluing, stitching, or both. The quotation should match the required process.
Nail distance
For stitching, confirm nail distance, carton edge requirements, and expected carton strength.
Line connection
Connection with printing, slotting, folding, counting, or packing steps should be reviewed for workflow planning.
Operator workflow
Machine side, feeding direction, collection method, and available operators affect the final layout.
