Packaging Conversion
Folding & Gluing
Folding and gluing turns die-cut blanks into finished cartons, trays and folders ready to pack. C&H runs multiple automatic folder-gluers, including a BOBST Domino 90 and a flute-capable DGM, plus hand-fed gluing for capacity folders.
Glue style drives carton performance on the packing line. We can help confirm the right construction for the product, the fill method and the stock before the dieline is final.
Fugitive gluing is available for removable attachments such as cards, samples and promotional components that need to hold in transit and release cleanly.
