In the competitive world of packaging manufacturing, the quality of your adhesive application can make or break your final product. Whether you are producing rigid boxes, folding cartons, book covers, or paper bags, a reliable glue machine for packaging is not just an accessory — it is the backbone of...
Everything you need to know before investing in a corner taping machine in 2026 — from manual vs. automatic ROI analysis to key specifications, quad corner technology, and maintenance tips for rigid box manufacturing.
On April 21 and 22, 2026, approximately 170 converters, brand owners, and industry experts gathered in Würzburg, Germany, for the Koenig & Bauer Technology Days 2026. The two-day event placed CI flexo printing technology at the center of the conversation about modern packaging production. For packaging converters and machinery buyers,...
The packaging industry is facing a regulatory earthquake in 2026. As governments worldwide tighten restrictions on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — the so-called forever chemicals used in grease-resistant and water-repellent food packaging — converters are racing to retool their production lines. The result is a historic shift toward fiber-based...
If you manufacture rigid boxes, gift boxes, jewelry packaging, or luxury presentation cases, the V-grooving step is where your box geometry is defined. A poorly grooved board leads to cracked corners, uneven fold lines, and visible wrapping defects that buyers notice immediately. That is why choosing the right V grooving...

The die cutting machine market is entering a period of accelerated transformation in 2026. Valued at USD 1,611.3 million in 2025 and projected to reach USD 2,394.4 million by 2033 at a CAGR of 5.3%, this sector is being reshaped by three converging forces: the explosion of short-run customized packaging,...
Building a rigid box production line is like assembling a precision orchestra. Each machine plays a specific role, and if one station underperforms, the entire line suffers. A factory-grade V groover paired with an undersized corner taping machine produces bottlenecks. A high-speed forming station fed by an inaccurate gluing system...
