“According to industry research, the global e-commerce packaging automation market is projected to grow from USD 852.75 million in 2025 to USD 2.7 billion by 2034 at a CAGR of 13.7% as fulfillment centers adopt robotic and automated packaging solutions to meet demand pressures”【1】.
In high-volume e-commerce and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) packaging, the biggest bottleneck is often the manual assembly of the carton folding machine (specifically, the snap lock bottom style). Relying on human hands for this critical step introduces inconsistency, slows down throughput, and dramatically increases labor costs. When a major order hits, manual folding capacity is the first thing to break.
The solution is not just automation; it’s specialized automation. The Snap Lock Bottom Carton Folding Machine is the secret weapon for achieving the 30% efficiency boost required to handle peak demand without stress.
