Cartoning Process

The cartoning process involves the insertion of products into cartons, which are then sealed and prepared for shipping or retail display. This critical phase in packaging operations serves multiple industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, cosmetics, and consumer electronics. Cartoning can be performed manually, semi-automatically, or fully automatically, depending on the scale of operations and the specific requirements of the product being packaged.

In a typical automated cartoning process, the machine first erects a flat carton blank into its box shape. Products are then either manually placed into the carton or automatically picked and placed by the machine. Following product insertion, the carton is closed, either with a tuck closure, adhesive application, or other sealing methods. Advanced cartoning machines incorporate technology that allows for quick changeovers to accommodate various carton sizes and styles, ensuring flexibility across different packaging lines.

The efficiency of the cartoning process is important, as it directly impacts production throughput, cost, and ultimately, customer satisfaction. Modern cartoning operations focus on minimising waste, maximising speed, and ensuring the consistent quality of the packaged product.
