Fully Automatic
Jewelry Box Machine
Model KY-320A
Purpose-built for high-volume rigid box production — jewelry, cosmetics, watch, and luxury gift packaging. From paper feed to finished box in one continuous, fully automated cycle.
Manual Production vs. KY-320A Automation
Packaging facilities still relying on semi-manual workflows face compounding quality and cost pressures. Here’s the reality.
- ✘200–400 pcs/hour ceiling — bottleneck at every shift change
- ✘Inconsistent corner wraps and edge alignment cause rejection rates above 8%
- ✘6–12 operators per line required for gluing, positioning, and folding stages
- ✘Size changeover takes 45–90 minutes of skilled technician time
- ✘Paper and board waste averages 12–18% due to misfeeds and misalignment
- ✓Up to 2,100 pcs/hour continuous output — consistent across all shift lengths
- ✓Servo-controlled positioning ensures ±0.1 mm accuracy, reject rate below 0.5%
- ✓1–2 operators manage the entire line: loading, QC, and unloading only
- ✓PLC touchscreen changeover in under 15 minutes with saved job parameters
- ✓Precision feeding system reduces material waste to under 3% of production run
How the KY-320A Works
A single, uninterrupted production cycle from raw stock to finished, folded box — zero manual intervention at each stage.
Automatic Paper Feeding & Gluing
Covering paper is precision-fed and uniformly coated with adhesive via a controlled glue roller system — no bubbles, no dry spots.
Greyboard Conveying & Corner Taping
Chipboard is automatically delivered, four-corner-taped, and precisely positioned on the glued covering paper using servo actuators.
Edge Wrapping & Ear Folding
Linear-guide-driven wrapping stations and electronic cam systems fold all edges and ears cleanly — no creasing or material deformation.
Shaped & Finished Box Output
Each completed box is pressed, formed, and discharged onto the output conveyor, ready for QC inspection and downstream packing.
Built for Industrial-Scale Precision
Every sub-system on the KY-320A is engineered to reduce downtime, minimize waste, and maximize consistent output quality.
Servo-Driven Precision Control
All motion axes are controlled by premium servo drives, delivering repeatable ±0.1 mm positional accuracy across millions of cycles. Changeover parameters are stored digitally — no mechanical re-jigging required.
PLC Touchscreen Interface
Intuitive HMI panel with real-time production monitoring, fault diagnostics, and job-parameter memory storage. Operators need minimal training — changeover between box sizes is completed in under 15 minutes.
Wide Material Compatibility
Processes covering papers from 80 to 200 gsm — including matte/gloss art paper, textured stocks, and foil-laminated sheets — together with greyboard/chipboard thicknesses from 0.5 to 3.0 mm.
High-Throughput Output
Operates at 20–35 pcs/min (1,200–2,100 pcs/hour). Sustained two-shift production delivers 33,600+ finished boxes per day — enabling high-volume contract packaging without proportional headcount increases.
Compact Industrial Footprint
At 5,500 × 1,800 mm and 3,500 kg, the KY-320A occupies significantly less floor space than comparable dual-head machines, making it practical for facilities where production floor area is at a premium.
Minimal Operator Requirement
One to two operators manage full-line operations — paper loading, greyboard refill, and output stacking. All wrapping, folding, and forming stages require zero manual intervention during production runs.

The Case for Full Automation in Rigid Box Production
Why High-Volume Jewelry Box Producers Are Moving to Fully Automated Box Making Machines
The Structural Shift in Luxury Packaging Production
The global rigid box market has undergone a fundamental shift over the past decade. Brands across jewelry, cosmetics, consumer electronics, and premium gift sectors have raised quality expectations while simultaneously compressing lead times. Packaging converters and box manufacturers that once relied on semi-manual production lines are now encountering a hard ceiling — not in demand, but in capacity and consistency.
“Automation is no longer a capital expenditure decision for packaging manufacturers — it is a market access decision. Facilities that cannot maintain sub-1% defect rates at scale are being systematically de-listed from luxury brand supplier programs.”
The fully automatic jewelry box machine, exemplified by platforms such as the Kylin KY-320A, addresses this ceiling directly. By automating every stage of the box-making cycle — paper feeding, adhesive application, greyboard placement, edge wrapping, and ear folding — these machines eliminate the variability inherent in manual and semi-manual operations.
Engineering Architecture: Why Servo Drives Matter
The quality differential between automatic and semi-automatic rigid box machines originates primarily in the drive and positioning architecture. Legacy machines use pneumatic actuators and mechanical cams — systems that introduce tolerance stack-up with wear. Modern automatic platforms like the KY-320A use closed-loop servo drives on all primary motion axes, delivering repeatable positioning accuracy within ±0.1 mm over millions of operating cycles.
- Multi-axis servo control eliminates positional drift between shifts
- Electronic cam profiles replace mechanical cams — adjusted digitally in seconds
- Linear guide rails on wrapping stations provide smooth, wear-resistant motion
- PLC-managed glue flow control maintains consistent adhesive weight per sheet
- Precision suction cup feeders handle 80–200 gsm paper without misfeeds
Material Range and Process Flexibility
A common concern among procurement engineers is whether a high-speed automatic machine sacrifices material flexibility for throughput. The KY-320A is designed around the opposite principle. Its paper handling system accommodates 80 to 200 gsm covering stocks — from lightweight art paper to heavyweight textured and foil-laminated sheets — without modification.
Board thickness compatibility from 0.5 to 3.0 mm means the same machine runs lightweight gift boxes and heavy-duty watch presentation cases within the same shift with a sub-20-minute changeover. This flexibility is commercially significant: it enables contract packaging facilities to serve multiple brand categories on a single production asset.
Total Cost of Ownership Analysis
When evaluating a capital equipment purchase of this nature, procurement teams must look beyond acquisition price to total cost of ownership (TCO) across a five-year horizon. Key TCO drivers for the KY-320A include:
- Labour reduction: From 8–12 operators (manual line) to 1–2 operators. At industrial labour rates in developed markets, this difference alone recovers machine cost within 12–24 months in typical production scenarios.
- Material yield improvement: Reducing waste from 12–18% to under 3% represents substantial raw material cost savings, particularly with high-cost specialty covering papers.
- Reject rate reduction: From 6–10% defect rates to below 0.5% eliminates rework cost and protects brand client relationships.
- Energy efficiency: 5.5 KW consumption for a 2,100 pcs/hour machine represents excellent energy-per-unit figures versus comparable capacity manual-assisted lines.
“The KY-320A pays for itself not in the boxes it makes, but in the rejects it eliminates and the operators it doesn’t require.”
Integration with Existing Print-Finishing Lines
For packaging manufacturers with established print and lamination workflows, upstream integration is a primary technical concern. The KY-320A’s standardized conveyor interfaces, adjustable to match existing line heights, and PLC communication ports supporting RS-485 and Ethernet protocols enable connection to most sheet-fed offset printing, UV lamination, and die-cutting systems currently operating in commercial finishing environments. Kylin’s engineering team provides integration consultation as part of the standard procurement process — including conveyor height alignment documentation and downstream buffer calculations.
