Platinum Packaging Inc.: Wrapping and sealing of gift box blanks

A stack of knocked-down gift box bottoms and tops are pushed into a center-folded tube of film that provides clarity&#44 as well as puncture and tear-resistance. The tube is side-sealed with two impulse wires. Next&#44 a cross-sealing station employs hot-knife jaws that create a seal between the leading and trailing pack of boxes before cutting in the seal area between the packs. Packs then are conveyed through a heat tunnel. Euipment is supplied by Shanklin.
