The BoxMaker Expands Manufacturing Capabilities with the Installation of a Brausse ETERNA Specialty Folder and Gluer at Arkansas Facility

The BoxMaker, a leader in custom corrugated packaging solutions, is proud to announce the purchase and installation of a new Brausse ETERNA Efold 2100 C6 specialty folder and gluer at its Lowell, AR manufacturing plant. This state-of-the-art machinery marks a significant enhancement in the company’s in-house production capabilities, enabling it to offer a greater range of high-quality corrugated packaging solutions to clients.

New Finishing Capabilities and Box Styles Now Available

This machine is equipped to finish a wide variety of corrugated box styles including auto-bottoms, in-fold trays, out-fold trays, and straight seam styles. It features six glue heads and the capacity to apply tape and/or tear strips up to 2 inches wide. The ETERNA Efold can handle a range of corrugated flutes, from F up to B/C double wall. With a maximum belt speed of 787 feet per minute and the ability to process a wide spectrum of sheet sizes, this machine is designed for both versatility and high-speed operation.

Reduced Lead Times and Quality Control

“We are excited about the enhanced manufacturing capabilities that the Brausse ETERNA Efold will deliver to us, as well as the range of corrugated styles we will now be able to finish in-house for clients served out of our Arkansas facility,” says Brett Kirkpatrick, Director of Trade Business for The BoxMaker. “The addition of a specialty folder and gluer at this location will reduce lead times for many popular box styels and help to ensure we are delivering on our promise of quality to our client accounts.”

Complimenting the ETERNA Efold, The BoxMaker has also acquired a SIG-CORR Squaring and Bundling Plastic Strapping Machine. This specialty high-speed strapper is designed to efficiently bundle products off the specialty folder and gluer, using generous 12mm strapping to secure goods while preventing damage from the straps.

Delivering on the Promise of Quality Custom Corrugated Packaging

With the integration of the Brausse ETERNA Efold 2100 C6 and the SIG-CORR Squaring and Bundling Plastic Strapping Machine, The BoxMaker significantly enhances its commitment to delivering quality custom corrugated packaging products while reducing lead time by expanding in-house manufacturing capabilities.

These advancements enable The BoxMaker to swiftly respond to client demands with superior precision and quality, ensuring that every product meets the high standards that clients expect. By bolstering operations at the Lowell, AR facility, The BoxMaker not only enhances production efficiency but also reinforces its role as a leading provider of innovative and reliable packaging solutions across North America.
