tray forming machine

Our family of fold-and-tuck tray forming machines is engineered for the automatic creation of display trays and shippers. This efficient former can automatically assemble die-cut blanks at speeds reaching up to 1,200 trays per hour. This technology is commonly applied across two primary uses:

  • Shippers & Mailers: Perfect for e-commerce and direct-to-consumer delivery, the machine converts flat die-cut blanks into secure, finished lidded trays that streamline mailing operations and significantly reduce the need for manual assembly labor.

  • Retail Display: The former has the versatility to produce a wide range of presentation trays, from simple flat-bottom containers to complex 5-tuck trays featuring back display walls and custom inserts. Stop forming corrugated trays by hand—it’s time to invest in an automatic tray forming solution!
