AutoPasting
• Prepare Adhesive: Fill the adhesive reservoir with the appropriate adhesive. Ensure the adhesive is mixed correctly and has the right viscosity. • Adjust Application System: Set up the adhesive application system, including rollers or nozzles, to apply the adhesive uniformly on the flute paper. Ensure the adhesive is spread evenly to ensure strong bonding. Feeding and Pasting • Start Feeders: Activate the paper feeders to guide the printed paper and flute paper through the machine. Ensure both papers are fed at the correct speed and aligned properly. • Monitor Alignment: Use sensors and guides to maintain the proper alignment of the papers. Adjust as necessary to prevent misalignment or overlapping. Pasting Process • Roller Pressure: Set the pressing rollers to apply the right amount of pressure, ensuring that the printed paper and flute paper are firmly bonded. Adjust the pressure to avoid damaging the paper. • Continuous Monitoring: Monitor the pasting process continuously, checking for any issues such as adhesive streaks, paper jams, or misalignment.
Lamination
Materials Needed: Films lamination machine Lamination films (rolls of laminate film) Substrates to be laminated (e.g., paper, cardboard, posters) Step-by-Step Guide: Prepare your materials: Ensure the substrates (materials to be laminated) are clean, flat, and free from dust or debris. Trim them to the desired size if necessary. Turn on the films lamination machine: Plug in the machine and switch it on. Allow it to warm up according to the manufacturer's instructions. Large films lamination machines typically have heating elements that melt the adhesive on the laminate film. Load the laminate film roll: Open the film roll compartment on the machine and insert the roll of laminate film. Follow the threading diagram provided by the manufacturer to ensure the film is correctly fed through the machine. Set the machine parameters: Adjust the machine settings such as temperature, speed, and pressure based on the type of laminate film and substrate being used. Consult the machine’s manual for recommended settings. Position the substrate: Place the substrate (e.g., paper, cardboard) at the entry point of the laminating rollers. Ensure it is aligned straight and ready to enter the machine. Feed the substrate through the machine: Start the machine to feed the substrate and laminate film through the rollers. Larger films lamination machines may have automatic feeding systems or require manual guidance to ensure smooth lamination. Monitor the lamination process: Watch as the laminate film adheres to the substrate. Adjust machine settings if needed to ensure proper lamination without wrinkles or bubbles. Collect the laminated substrate: As the laminated substrate exits the machine, carefully collect it to avoid damage or wrinkles. Large laminated sheets may require additional support or handling due to their size. Cool and set: Carton blanks, which are pre-cut and pre-scored sheets of paperboard, are fed into the machine. This can be done using a feeder system that ensures a continuous supply of blanks. The machine applies adhesive to specific areas of the carton blanks. The type and amount of adhesive used can vary depending on the requirements of the carton and the adhesive properties. Precision in adhesive application is crucial to ensure strong bonding without excess adhesive. The machine folds the carton blanks along the pre-scored lines. Automated folding ensures precise alignment of the flaps and sides, which is essential for the structural integrity of the cartons. Sensors and alignment mechanisms help maintain accuracy.
Autozay Pasting
The automatic carton Zay pasting process is a specialized system used in the manufacturing of cartons. This process involves the automated application of adhesive to create strong, well-aligned carton structures.

Plant
Corrugation Process • Single Facer: The kraft paper is passed through the single facer machine where it is heated and pressed to form the fluted corrugation. • Flame Heating: A flame heating system is sometimes used to achieve the required temperature quickly. The flame helps in the rapid drying and setting of the adhesive as well as the flutes. 3. Combining Layers • Liner Attachment: The corrugated paper is then combined with liner paper using the starch adhesive. For 5-ply corrugation, three layers of corrugated (fluted) paper and two layers of liner paper are used. • Second Single Facer: The process is repeated to create additional corrugated layers. • Double Backer: The combined layers pass through the double backer where the remaining layers are added. 4. Drying and Curing • The combined 5-ply corrugated board is then passed through a drying section where it is subjected to controlled heat to ensure proper bonding and curing of the adhesive. • The flame heating may also be used in this section to accelerate the drying process. 5. Cutting and Trimming • The dried and bonded corrugated board is then cut to the required size using rotary cutting machines. • Trimming is done to ensure uniform edges and precise dimensions. Carton blanks, which are pre-cut and pre-scored sheets of paperboard, are fed into the machine. This can be done using a feeder system that ensures a continuous supply of blanks.

Die Cutting
The machine presses the die onto the corrugated sheet, cutting and creasing it simultaneously. The semi-automatic aspect usually involves manual feeding of the sheets and possibly manual adjustment of the die for each new batch or design. Ejection and Collection: The cut sheets are ejected from the machine, where they can be collected manually or through an automated conveyor system. Waste material, such as the offcuts from around the die-cut shape, is usually manually removed or collected in a waste bin. Inspection and Finishing: The cut pieces are inspected for quality. Any necessary finishing touches, such as folding along the creased lines or additional trimming, are done manually.
Steam Corrugation
Corrugating: To create the corrugated pattern (the "flutes"), the paperboard is fed through a corrugating machine. This machine has a series of corrugating rolls that press a corrugated pattern into the paperboard, creating the characteristic ridges and valleys. • Steam Treatment: Once the corrugated medium (the fluted layer) is formed, it may undergo steam treatment. Steam can be applied to soften the paper fibers, making it easier to bond the various layers together in the next steps of the process. • Bonding: Adhesive is applied to the corrugated medium, and it is then sandwiched between two flat layers of paperboard called liners. The adhesive may be activated or enhanced by the steam treatment, ensuring a strong bond between the layers. • Drying and Cutting: The assembled layers are passed through heated rollers to dry the adhesive and ensure a solid bond. The continuous sheet of corrugated board is then cut and shaped into cartons or boxes of various sizes and designs.
Our Capabilities
Carton is the name of certain types of containers typically made from paperboard, cardboard,
tetra pack, thermo pole and of plastic material suitable for packing of food, pharmaceuticals,
hardware and many other types of products for safe transportation of products to the end user.
Folding cartons are usually combined into a tube at the manufacturer and shipped flat (knocked
down) to the packager. Tray styles have a solid bottom and are often shipped as flat blanks and
assembled by the packager. High-speed equipment is available to set up, load, and close the
cartons.
How we do it
The corrugated cartons/boxes are designed to meet the particular needs of the product being
shipped, the hazards of the shipping environment, (shock, vibration, compression, moisture,
etc.), and the needs of retailers and consumers
Engineers and designers start with the needs of the particular project: cost constraints, machinery
capabilities, product characteristics, logistics needs, applicable regulations, consumer needs, etc.
The process starts by making corrugated board on a corrugating line, a long series of linked
machines. A finished piece of single wall corrugated board is a single corrugated layer
sandwiched between two liners.
Skilled workers prepare job tickets for each stack of box blanks and route the blanks to
fabrication machines. Printing dies and patterns are prepared on large, flexible, rubber or tin
sheets. They are loaded onto rollers and the box blanks are fed through it, where each is trimmed,
printed, cut, scored, folded, and glued to form a box. Finished boxes are then stacked and sent to
a banding machine to be wrapped and shipped.
