Paper box printing and box gluing production line
Success Case: Automatic Carton Printing, Gluing & Bundling Line
Applied in a Leading Corrugated Box Manufacturer in BrazilAgainst the backdrop of Brazil’s booming packaging market (a 43.25% share of South America’s paper packaging industry in 2024) driven by e-commerce and F&B demands, our all-in-one carton production line delivers a productivity revolution for large-scale carton manufacturing, perfectly solving the core pain point of low efficiency in mass production.
Customer Pain Points
Our client is a well-known large carton packaging enterprise in Brazil, a key supplier for the local e-commerce, food and beverage packaging sectors. With the surging market demand for mass corrugated cartons, the enterprise was trapped in severe production inefficiencies caused by traditional standalone equipment:
1. Disconnected production processes: Printing, gluing and bundling were completed by separate machines, with manual handling and transfer between each process. This not only caused long production downtime but also increased the risk of carton damage during transfer.
2. Low mass production efficiency: The traditional semi-automatic line could only achieve a production speed of less than 150 cartons per minute, with a daily output far below the market demand. A large number of manual operations led to high labor costs and unstable production capacity, failing to meet the on-time delivery requirements of bulk orders.
3. High equipment failure rate: The non-integrated control system resulted in frequent coordination errors between machines, requiring frequent maintenance and further reducing the effective production time of the whole line.
Our Solution: Full-Automatic Carton Printing, Gluing & Bundling Integrated Line
Tailored for Brazil’s market characteristics of mass carton demand and high requirements for production stability, we provided the customer with a CE & ISO certified full-automatic integrated production line, adopting SIEMENS electrical control system and one-stop intelligent production design. The core configurations to break through efficiency bottlenecks include:
• Fully integrated continuous production: Seamlessly connecting printing, slotting, gluing, folding and bundling processes with an intelligent conveyor system, realizing unmanned transfer between processes and completely eliminating downtime caused by manual handling.
• High-speed intelligent production core: Equipped with a high-precision servo drive system and PLC touch screen centralized control, the line achieves a stable production speed of 350 cartons per minute for mass production. It supports real-time production data monitoring and parameter adjustment, ensuring consistent output quality in long-term continuous operation.
• Stable and low-failure design: Adopting international brand core components and a closed-loop control system, the equipment’s failure rate is reduced by over 80% compared with traditional lines. The modular design enables quick maintenance and part replacement, greatly improving the effective operating rate of the production line.
• Adaptable to local carton demands: Optimized for the characteristics of Brazil’s corrugated cartons (thick board, high strength for long-distance logistics), the line ensures perfect forming and firm gluing, meeting the local market’s strict requirements for carton durability.
Striking Application Results
Since the integrated line was put into operation in the Brazilian customer’s factory, the production efficiency and operational benefits have been comprehensively upgraded, helping the customer seize the opportunities of Brazil’s booming packaging market:
✅ Overall production efficiency increased by 130%: The 350 cartons/min high-speed production and continuous unmanned process have tripled the daily output of bulk cartons, easily meeting the large-order delivery demand of e-commerce and F&B clients.
✅ Labor cost saved by 60%: The one-stop intelligent operation reduces the reliance on manual handling and on-site operation. The number of operators for a single mass production line is reduced from 8 to 2, significantly cutting down the long-term labor cost for the customer.
✅ Effective operating rate up to 95%: The low-failure design and modular maintenance ensure the line can run continuously for a long time. The equipment failure downtime is reduced by over 85%, maximizing the production capacity of mass manufacturing.
✅ Carton damage rate reduced by 90%: The seamless mechanical transfer replaces manual handling, eliminating carton scratch and deformation during the production process, and improving the qualified rate of finished products to over 99.5%.
✅ Market competitiveness greatly enhanced: The efficient mass production capacity enables the customer to accept more bulk orders and shorten the delivery cycle, quickly expanding its market share in Brazil’s packaging industry and becoming a preferred supplier for local well-known e-commerce and F&B brands.
