Box and Case Packaging

What is Box and Case Packaging?

Box and case packaging refers to the end-of-line process where products are placed into cartons or cases for storage, transportation, and retail distribution.
It usually consists of three core steps:

  • Case Erecting: forming flat-packed cartons into a ready-to-fill box
  • Case Packing: placing products into cartons in single or multi-layer formats
  • Case Sealing: closing and sealing cartons with tape, glue, or straps

Soontrue provides fully automated solutions that integrate these steps into a seamless production line, ensuring high efficiency, stable sealing, and reduced manual labor.
