Cartoning Machines for Flat Blank Cartons
Universal Pack designs and builds cartoning machines for flat blank cartons. We integrate this type of cartoning machine with both our stick pack and sachet packaging machines, according to your needs.
The flat-blank cartoning unit includes two machines:one dedicated to carton forming, and one dedicated to carton closing.
Our automatic carton forming machines are suitable for erecting cartons from flat blank cartons by means of a mechanical former and hot-melt glue.
On the other hand, our automatic ccarton closing machines are suitable to close erected boxes using tuck closure and hot-melt glue. Together with carton forming machines, they provide a complete secondary packaging solution.
With flat blanks,sachet insertion takes place between the forming and closing machines,through the top-loading system installed at the end of the counting and stacking unit. Moreover, the cartoning machines for flat blanks can include key accessories such as dynamic or static checkweighers, leaflet insertion systems with presence check and tamper-evident labeling machine.
Our cartoning machines for flat blank cartons support high flexibility in carton formats. Carton format depends on the number of stick packs and sachets to be inserted. The double balcony design provides high accessibility to the machine from both front and rear sides. In fact, our cartoning machines provide operators with easy access for fast parts and size changeovers.

Types of Packages
Formats
Our machines for flat blank cartons guarantee total flexibility in cartons’ formats. Your carton format and dimensions vary depending on the number of sachets to be inserted. The machine can insert one or two sachets in smaller cartons (min. 90 x 70 x 35 mm), or even 100 or more sachets in cartons with larger formats (max. 250 x 170 x 120 mm). We have developed patented counting units for any number of packages to be picked and placed into cartons. Our approach focuses on reducing as much material and product as possible, both for economic and environmental sustainability.

Sustainability
Our continuous research in reducing the packaging industry’s carbon footprint resulted in streamlined machinery design for pocessing recycled, recyclable and compostable laminates. LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is used to measure the environmental impact of our products and identify optimal ways to reduce it. It is a 360° analysis that goes beyond the mere packaging produced and involves every step of the packaging machinery production process. We develop our solutions in close collaboration with leading global film suppliers and test them in agreement with major multinational companies in order to provide them with a turnkey solution able to produce more sustainable packages.
