What should be considered when using an automatic case sealer for short cartons? What are the best sealing solutions for ultra-low-profile boxes?
Under normal conditions, a standard automatic case sealer can handle cartons as short as 12 cm in height. However, in certain applications, this minimum height may not meet customer requirements. When boxes shorter than 12 cm need to be sealed automatically with tape, a standard sealer is no longer suitable—and a customized solution becomes necessary. So, what are the sealing solutions for ultra-low-profile cartons?
Key Consideration for Sealing Short Cartons: The primary issue is potential interference between the upper and lower tape heads. On very short boxes, the tape rollers of the top and bottom sealing heads may physically overlap or collide, making standard sealers ineffective. In such cases, a custom-designed offset-head case sealer is required to resolve this problem.
