Case forming machines—also known as case erectors—take on the labor-intensive task of forming and folding cases. Whether you’re working with cardboard boxes or other packaging materials, a case former can save significant time and reduce manual labor otherwise spent pre-forming and taping cases before hand-packing products. Available in a range of configurations, case forming equipment offers different features to suit various production needs. Understanding these options is key to selecting the right machine for your packaging operation.
Available Variations
Types of Case Formers
Semiautomatic
When it comes to case forming equipment, a semiautomatic case erector offers outstanding value and reliable performance. Designed for manual case packing lines, these machines simplify and speed up the case pre-forming process for hand packing operations. First Packaging Systems provides highly customizable case erecting solutions with a smaller footprint than fully automatic systems. They are also capable of handling a wide variety of non-standard case sizes.
Automatic
For 24/7 operations or medium-to-high production volumes, a fully automatic case former is the ideal choice. FPS offers a range of high-quality automatic tape case formers tailored to your specific packaging requirements. These machines deliver optimized, high-speed performance, increasing output while reducing maintenance demands. Case size adjustments are fast and simple, and full automation eliminates the inconsistencies of manual forming. The result is precise, reliable case forming with minimal operator oversight
