Loading the Design Box

According to VCP packaging engineer Stephane Bernelas, the Design Box is a “presentation package” designed to increase VCP’s perception as a source of luxury products and reinforce its position as an innovative champagne house.

Whatever VCP’s design objectives behind the two-piece paperboard container—essentially a box and a sleeve--one thing is for sure: it’s erected and loaded on equipment (Figure H) every bit as automated as the end-of-line gear from Cermex. Custom-designed and built by ITCM, it consists of two large rotary wheels plus a side-load cartoner from Langenpac. Both rotary wheels are fed flat paperboard blanks. Even this task has been automated, as two Fanuc robots pick stacks of blanks and feed them to the rotary devices on which the blanks are erected.

Wheel #1 erects the box that holds the bottle. The use of some glue is included in the process, but most of it is fold and tuck. Also visible in Figure H are two small rotary drums in the bottom of the frame that feed flat blanks to Wheel #1. Wheel #1 rotates counterclockwise and discharges a finished box in the portion of the photo that’s circled.
