Lowell, Arkansas based The BoxMaker, a custom corrugated packaging solutions provider, announced the purchase and installation of a new Brausse Eterna Efold 2100 C6 specialty folder.
The company said that the investment marks a significant enhancement in its in-house production capabilities, enabling it to offer a greater range of high-quality corrugated packaging solutions to clients.
The machine is equipped to finish a wide variety of corrugated box styles including auto-bottoms, in-fold trays, out-fold trays, and straight seam styles. It features six glue heads and the capacity to apply tape and/or tear strips up to 2 inches wide. The Eterna Efold can handle a range of corrugated flutes, from F up to B/C double wall. With a maximum belt speed of 787 feet per minute and the ability to process a wide spectrum of sheet sizes, this machine is designed for both versatility and high-speed operation.
“We are excited about the enhanced manufacturing capabilities that the Brausse Eterna Efold will deliver to us, as well as the range of corrugated styles we will now be able to finish in-house for clients served out of our Arkansas facility,” says Brett Kirkpatrick, Director of Trade Business for The BoxMaker. “The addition of a specialty folder and gluer at this location will reduce lead times for many popular box styles and help to ensure we are delivering on our promise of quality to our client accounts.”
The BoxMaker has also acquired a SIG-CORR Squaring and Bundling Plastic Strapping Machine. This specialty high-speed strapper is designed to efficiently bundle products off the specialty folder and gluer, using generous 12mm strapping to secure goods while preventing damage from the straps.
The BoxMaker said the integration of the new machinery significantly enhances its commitment to delivering quality custom corrugated packaging products while reducing lead time by expanding in-house manufacturing capabilities.
