Carton Folding Machine Buying Guide Tailored for Various Industries — Below I’ll Break Down the Key Factors for Selecting the Right Equipment from Three Core Aspects
一、Carton Shape and Material
First, identify the carton structure and determine the material based on the characteristics of your product. Different carton erectors correspond to different functional and material requirements:
Automatic lock-bottom carton erector: Requires extremely high accuracy (tolerance ≤ 0.5 mm)
Irregular carton erector: Requires custom molds
Match carton material type: Such as corrugated board or paperboard (200–400 g). Different thicknesses correspond to different machine models — materials that are too thick may cause jamming, while materials that are too thin may result in loose forming.
二、Performance Parameters of Carton Folding Machine
The fastest machine is not necessarily the best. Prioritize machines with high stability.
Capable of continuous 24/7 operation
Scrap rate should be ≤ 1% to avoid high material waste
Forming precision should reach ±0.5 mm to ensure packaging quality — otherwise, it will affect customer perception of your brand
三、Industry Characteristics
Different industries have specific requirements when selecting carton erectors:
Food and medical industries: Stainless-steel frame + dust-proof design, compliant with GMP cleanliness standards
Electronics industry: Anti-static features to avoid damage to electronic components
Daily chemical and beauty industries: Focus on forming accuracy and stability to maintain visual consistency of brand packaging
Final Note
Do not blindly pursue low-cost carton erectors. Evaluate the equipment based on your production capacity, carton specifications, and industry requirements.
Ensuring that the machine fully matches your production needs will help you achieve both cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
