Autobox reveals box-making kit for Interpack


Autobox will target contract packers and short-run printers with the new Hipak One corrugated box-making machine to be launched at Interpack in April.

The Hipak One can be used to make a variety of corrugated box sizes and styles at speeds of up to 1,000 boxes per hour.

It can create standard boxes with a minimum length of 80mm, width of 30mm and height of 65mm, and a maximum size of unlimited length, 1,000mm width and 1,400mm height.

A corrugated sheet-feeding and cutting system automatically cuts box blanks from master stock sheets, eliminating the need to buy cut-to-size blanks or manually cut blanks from stock sheets.

Single-colour digital printing is optional on the 6m-long by 3m-wide machine.

Autobox, based in Leighton Buzzard, said the Hipak One was suited to box merchants and paper material distributors currently buying in boxes for resale.

The company is also targeting companies that make products needing a number of different box sizes.

Autobox said end users could benefit from cost savings and reduced storage space.

Order lead times of four to six weeks can be expected for the machine.

Interpack takes place on 24-30 April at the Messe Düsseldorf.
