Cartoning machines for food supplements

Capsule jars, powder sticks, blisters and pouches: food supplements are growing fast and ranges change often. Kappler cartoning machines pack them securely into the folding carton – with leaflet, batch number and best-before date.

What matters in food supplements

Many variants, small batches

New products and promotions arrive quickly – the NOVA star is set to the new carton size without change parts.

Leaflet

Folded leaflets are pulled individually and placed in the folding carton.

Coding and inspection

Apply batch number and best-before date directly, check codes by camera and reject faulty cartons.

Secure closure

Hotmelt for a firm, tamper-evident closure – or tuck-in flap if the carton should be reclosable.

FAQ

Questions from Food Supplements

Which machine is right for food supplements?

Usually the KC-V8 – with up to three filling stations and leaflet inserter. With many modules or automatic feeding for jars and vials, the KC-V10 or KC-V10 Automatic fits.

Can a leaflet go into the carton too?

Yes. The leaflet inserter pulls folded leaflets individually and places them in the folding carton – the product goes in between.

How quickly can I switch to a new variant?

The NOVA star is adjusted in less than a minute. The format change of the whole line takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the machine.

Does your folding carton fit our machine?
