Flat blank trays are placed in a hopper and the trays are pulled into forming section and under forming plows that erect the side and end panels. Simultaneously the minor flaps are being folded. The trays then pass through a set of side bars that fold and lock the roll-over flap into place. This style of packaging is 100% recyclable.

The POPLOK can handle a large variety of flat blank sizes to produce an impressive array of formed trays with and without hinged lids. The POPLOK is designed with a small footprint and is completely mobile.
