Sealing methods
Tape
Adhesive tape application offers consistency and superior sealing. Our case sealing machines apply a single, precise layer of tape along the open seam of boxes, minimising the risk of excessive handling and unnecessary taping commonly associated with manual sealing. This results in time savings and reduced wastage.
Case taping machines are typically faster and require less setup time than other methods.
Can be used with various types of adhesive tapes and different box materials.
Provides an instant and strong bond, ensuring boxes are securely sealed.
Case sealers are easily integrated into semi & fully automatic lines.
Hot melt glue
To protect the contents of the boxes from tampering, it is useful to seal with hot glue. In addition, for high production rates, you can save a lot of consumables. Our case sealers can be easily integrated into a line.
Hot melt glue provides a robust and durable seal, making it suitable for heavy or valuable items.
Glue sealing can create a cleaner and more professional look compared to tape.
Hot melt glue is often considered more environmentally friendly than some adhesive tapes.
gummed paper
Case sealing with gummed paper tape, also known as water-activated tape (WAT) sealing, is a method of securely sealing packages, typically cardboard boxes, using a special adhesive tape. Unlike conventional adhesive tapes that have a pre-applied sticky surface, gummed paper tape requires activation by water.
Key Features:
Gummed paper is biodegradable and 100% environmentally friendly.
Provides a tamper-evident seal that shows if a package has been opened.
Gummed paper creates a strong bond suitable for heavy or irregularly shaped packages.

Semi-Automatic Case Sealers
Streamlines the sealing process, reducing manual effort and increasing throughput compared to manual sealing methods.
Provides significant time and labour savings while being more budget-friendly than fully automatic systems.
Can typically handle a wide range of box sizes and types, making them suitable for various packaging applications.
These machines are often designed with user-friendly controls and simple adjustment mechanisms, making them accessible to operators with minimal training.
They can be easily integrated into existing packaging lines or used as standalone units, offering flexibility in production setups.
Generally compact in size, requiring less floor space compared to fully automatic systems, making them suitable for smaller production facilities.
fully-Automatic Case Sealers
Seals boxes at a faster rate than semi-automatic ones, leading to an increased production capacity.
Requires minimal operator intervention, they can significantly reduce labor costs associated with manual or semi-automatic sealing methods.
Operate continuously without the need for operator intervention, resulting in more efficient sealing processes and reduced downtime.
Precise and consistent sealing results, minimising the risk of errors and ensuring uniformity in packaging.
Typically more scalable than semi-automatic ones, allowing easier integration into larger production lines and accommodating growing production demands.
