How Do Case and Tray Formers Work?
Our Case Formers and Tray Formers will take flat pieces of cardboard that have been precut and printed by your preferred box supplier, and then quickly formed into a case or tray. Cases will be boxes that have top flaps to be sealed once packed, while trays are open on the top so that product may be loaded, but there is no final seal applied.
From here, the case or tray can easily be moved to your case packing system for automated packing, and then on to a case sealer for a complete solution that covers forming, filling, and sealing. Our Case Formers and Tray Formers can easily be integrated into any existing packaging line, allowing for streamlined production.
