Could your packaging line be more efficient?​

Offering seamless integration into existing packaging lines, our Meta® machines use specialized mandrel-forming technology to precisely shape die-cut blanks into cases, reducing skew and maximizing strength for superior performance on your line and throughout distribution.

With flexibility to create a variety of case sizes and types from a single machine, Meta® can help optimize uptime and overall equipment efficiency with performance matched die-cut blanks.

Key features and benefits

Meta boxes 

  • FLEXIBLE:  All models have the capability to run four, five, six, seven or eight-sided cases.

  • EFFICIENT: With quick changeovers between formats and sizes, uptime can be optimized as well as overall equipment efficiency.

  • RESPONSIBLE: Precision mandrel-forming can improve box compression (BCT) compared to current structures (up to 40% vs. RSC) and can optimize material usage. 

  • COMPATIBLE: Our experts can help you seamlessly integrate Meta® technology into your existing packaging line.
