Five steps to choosing the right cartoner for your application

There is no right or wrong method to choosing the appropriate cartoning machine for a given application. In fact, it should often be a somewhat personal method that yields results that you are comfortable with and can justify from a business point of view. However, I have seen many people struggle with this task over the years, often confused by the large array of choices worldwide as well as some ambiguous advice. Before you begin the process, you should first decide what you are trying to accomplish. Some of the more common motives include, but are not limited to, higher output, labor savings, material cost savings, or yielding a stronger package.
