High Speed Auto Fold-Glue Line

Our folder-gluer is capable of converting a wide range of solid coated and uncoated boards, at remarkable speeds. Not only super-fast, but highly accurate too, giving perfect consistency from 1 to a million.

As a die-cut and creased blank passes through a folder-gluer, a selection of specially positioned guides, rotary hooks, and other devices fold its panels to their required positions while a precise delivery system applies a hot-melt adhesive to key points on the blank. We can assist and advise on these glue areas whilst you are designing.

We have a very handy guide ‘Don’t Get Stuck’ that can help you understand the specifications and parameters of our machine, so that when it comes to production, everything runs smoothly. Of course, our design and technical team are on hand if you need any clarification or have a question. Click on the link on this page to download the guide.

As part of our continued development, in support of our clients, Windles Group have installed a superb piece of production equipment, in the form of a high-speed fold and glue line.

The folding and gluing process takes a pre-diecut ‘blank’ of flat material and turns it into a finished product. This could be a piece of packaging, carton, sleeve or 3D form. This is achieved by folding the blank along pre-creased lines and applying the adhesive that will hold the product together.
