Cardboard box insertion machine Ultipack

automatic

Overview
The Ultipack system automates the formation of corrugated trays and the insertion of a corrugated wedge (void fill) to secure products under an automatically applied lid. It is designed for fulfillment and packing operations that need to reduce shipping costs, consumables and labor while maintaining throughput and packaging consistency.

Product summary
Automatic cartoning system that forms a corrugated tray, inserts a flexible corrugated wedge to lock items in place and applies lidding to seal packages.

Key advantages

• Cost-effective void fill: corrugated wedge typically costs significantly less than traditional loose-fill materials.
• Versatile and scalable: a single Ultipack system can feed multiple pack stations to increase operator efficiency.
• Uniform, square-shaped corrugated tray offers improved structural strength versus a regular slotted container.
• Custom printing on corrugated components supports brand messaging and clear product information.

How it works
The system consists of modular stations: a tray former, a wedge (void) former and a lidding module. The wedging module inserts the corrugated wedge into the formed tray to immobilize contents and the lidding module seals the package. Additional void and protection options (paper inserts, suspension or cushioning solutions) can be integrated.

Features and benefits

• Automates tray and void-fill formation to reduce manual handling and labor costs.
• Reduces material costs compared with conventional void-fill methods.
• Enables custom-printed corrugated parts for improved unboxing experience and brand presentation.
