FAQ

Questions about model selection

What is a vertical cartoning machine?

In a vertical cartoning machine, the folding carton stands upright and is filled from above. It then moves on station by station: inserting the leaflet, closing, coding. This is particularly flexible for many formats and small to medium batches.

What is the difference between KC-V6, KC-V8 and KC-V10?

Mainly the number of stations and filling stations: the KC-V6 has six stations and one filling station, the KC-V8 eight stations and up to three filling stations, the KC-V10 ten stations and up to five filling stations. More stations mean more room for modules such as leaflet inserter and code inspection.

Which cartoning machine suits my product?

That depends on folding carton, product, output and the modules required. Send us your carton dimensions – we will suggest the right model.

Does your folding carton fit our machine?

Tell us about your product. We will check which cartoning machine fits and get back to you with a concrete proposal.
