GLUING FOLDING BOXES

There are several well-known gluing machines on the market which are designed particularly for gluing together folding boxes or cartons. The ordinary gluing machine is fitted with a feeding table, a series of steel rollers, a glue fountain and a gluing wheel. As the operator feeds the sheets, hot glue is applied to the flaps. The operator then folds each sheet so that the glued flap is in the right position. The series of steel rollers then press the glued flaps firmly together, completing the operation.

Staude Gluing Machine

One of the best gluing machines on the market is the “Staude Automatic,” made by the E. G. Staude Manufacturing Company, of St. Paul, Minn. This machine is fitted with a vertical stacker and other improved devices which make it possible for the folding box-maker to handle a wide range of work at high speed.
