Folding and Gluing Duluth

What’s it for?

Folding and gluing is suitable for processing a wide range of materials including paper, solid board, plastics, laminates, corrugated board and more. Its use is seen in a variety of industries and applications. From folders to boxes, folding and gluing allows the customer to add dimension to an otherwise flat piece of material. This allows other items to be placed inside, and it also works well for promotional items, making them more interesting and therefore more likely to be opened.

How does it work?

As a die-cut and creased blank passes through the folding and gluing machine, a selection of specially positioned guides and other devices fold its panels to their required positions while adhesive is applied to the appropriate locations. The folded and glued blank will then be placed under pressure for the adhesive to cure.
