Sealing, Taping & Closing

Sealing, taping, and closing applications are often one of the final steps before a package moves into shipping, storage, or distribution. The equipment needs to fit the carton style, package size, production speed, available space, and the way products are handled before and after closing.

At Insource, we help customers review the full closing process, not just the machine being added. That includes how boxes are formed, how they are packed, how they are sealed, how they move down the line, and whether the process needs to remain manual, semi-automated, or fully integrated.

Carton Erecting

Carton erecting applications depend on the box style, blank size, forming requirements, sealing method, production speed, and available floor space. Insource helps determine how cartons should be opened, formed, sealed, and presented to the next stage of production.

For some operations, the goal is to reduce manual box forming with a standalone carton erector. For others, carton erecting needs to connect directly into packing, filling, taping, labelling, printing, verification, or end-of-line handling. The right solution should create a dependable supply of properly formed cartons without adding unnecessary complexity to the line.

Box Taping

Box taping applications need to be matched to the carton size range, tape requirements, production speed, and operator workflow. Insource helps review how boxes are packed, presented, sealed, and discharged so the taping system fits naturally into the operation.

The solution may involve uniform case sealing, random case sealing, top and bottom taping, side belt drive, bottom belt drive, or integration with upstream and downstream conveyors. The objective is consistent closure, reduced manual taping, improved package presentation, and a smoother end-of-line process.

Glue Systems

Glue sealing applications depend on the package material, closure style, adhesive requirements, application area, compression time, and production speed. Insource helps customers evaluate whether glue is the right method for the package and how the adhesive system should be incorporated into the process.

A glue system may be used as part of carton sealing, folding/gluing, tray forming, case closing, or other package assembly applications. The system needs to apply adhesive cleanly, consistently, and in the right location while supporting the speed and workflow of the line.

Built Around Your Process

Sealing, taping, and closing solutions need to support the way packages are formed, packed, sealed, and moved through production. Insource helps customers look at the carton, the closure method, the available space, and the surrounding workflow before recommending a solution.

Whether the requirement involves carton erecting, box taping, glue sealing, or a custom combination of equipment, Insource can help develop a closing solution around your package, your process, and your production goals.
