Our machines efficiently convert pre-cut flat carton blanks into fully formed and glued trays, ready for immediate use in your production line—helping to streamline operations and increase output.

With output speeds of up to 37 cartons per minute, our tray erecting systems provide a robust and cost-effective solution for businesses looking to automate their packaging processes.

Our Tray Erectors are designed using proven pneumatic technology for consistent, dependable operation, combined with advanced PLC control systems to ensure precise sequencing and machine feedback at all times.

Each system is built with safety, efficiency, and ease of use in mind—making them ideal for both standalone applications and fully integrated packaging lines.
