Folding carton glueing machines are sophisticated machines that will enable us to produce bespoke premium folded cartons in a highly economic and efficient manner. When operated by skilled workers, these machines allow for high processing quality and consistency. All jobs require different run speeds due to the nature of the work. When running at full capacity, the machine can output 200,000 cartons per hour, although we do, of course, process much smaller runs than this.
The folder/gluer machine transforms a flat paper or board into a finished product such as a carton or envelope. As a die-cut and creased blank runs through the folder-gluer, it passes a selection of specifically adjusted guides and rotary hooks. Other devices then fold the panels to their required positions whilst the adhesive systems apply cold glue or hot-melt adhesive to the relevant positions.
Tell us what you need – we’ll advise, quote, and get things moving.
Upload artwork to our studio who will flight-check ready for your approval.
We will print, embellish, cut and finish! Let our factory do the hard work.
Your order is then checked, boxed and shipped to your chosen address.
Once the blank has been folded and glued, it is placed under pressure to enable the adhesive to cure before leaving the machine. Utilising a highly sophisticated control system, the machine will track the transformation of this blank. In conjunction with this blank run, the machine’s quality assurance equipment will be programmed to reject any product that does not conform to the same criteria as the blank.

Thank you Damian and all at Hartgraph for all your bespoke help on numerous projects. We have been very impressed with your team, capabilities, and how well you have executed our products at such speed.

The team are a pleasure to work and really go above and beyond for their clients. We can't recommend the team enough!

Once again Hartgraph have produced the most stunning brochure for my photography business! The print quality, finishing & level of service was faultless. Being a professional photographer, optimum quality was of paramount importance to me, & boy they delivered! I’ll definitely be back for my future print requirements.Posted on NEED Baked GoodsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been working with Hartgraph since we founded our company. Being a food startup, we could not get access to the favourable pricing for our packaging that larger companies can by virtue of their purchasing power - that is, until we were introduced to Hartgraph. In spite of our small orders, we have always been treated with the same levels of professionality and respect as their larger clients and we have enjoyed a great collaboration with Hartgraph ever since, with easy ordering processes and the same consistent high quality of product. We highly recommend Hartgraph to any business looking for a great and dependable long-term printing and packaging partner. Felix Baudenbacher, Director, NEED Ice CreamPosted on Fanderson ClubTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hartgraph has been our print supplier since 2007 and we couldn't be happier than with them! Products from our previous supplier would invariably come with all kinds of defects, but we never have a problem with products from Hartgraph. Everything is of the quality standard that our members expect. Members occasionally suggest other printers who they think can do the job cheaper, but we know we're going to get great results with Hartgraph, and there's usually very little difference in the price. Well worth it for peace of mind! www.fanderson.org.ukPosted on Gareth SlaughterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Used these guys for years - great service and great printers! Special mention to Alan Kitley for always delivering and offering great advice across all projects.Posted on Clive MessageTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Many thanks to Damian and all the team at Hartgraph for producing a stunning limited edition presentation slipcase to enhance the display of a facsimile of The Lancet's first edition from 1823.
