01
Find the cartoner that suits your bottle and carton
Horizontal end-load cartoners
A strong option for stable bottles or grouped formats that can be collated and loaded through the carton end.
See horizontal cartonersVertical top-load cartoners
Controlled top loading for bottles that are less stable, require careful placement or suit an open-top carton.
See vertical cartonersBottle multipack cartoners
Create repeatable bottle groups and load the required count and orientation into every carton.
See multipack cartonersCarton forming and closing
Match carton erection and tuck, glue or other closing methods to the board, pack and presentation standard.

Make the cartoner work with the rest of your line
Smooth cartoning depends on the equipment before and after it. Bottle spacing, accumulation, label position, coding, leaflet insertion, inspection and reject handling all affect real production performance.
We start with your actual bottle, closure, label, carton and output target, then define the interfaces needed for a stand-alone cartoner, guarded cell or integrated packaging line.

What helps us recommend the right machine
Carton
Board grade, dieline, closure style, print registration, leaflet and tamper-evident requirements.
Output
Required packs per minute, bottle count per carton, changeover expectations and shift pattern.
Line
Infeed conditions, conveyor height, available footprint, utilities, inspection and downstream discharge.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What information is needed to specify a bottle cartoning machine?
At minimum, provide the bottle drawing or dimensions, filled weight, closure type, carton dieline and board specification, bottles per carton, required output, available footprint and details of adjacent machines.
Can a cartoner be integrated with an existing filling line?
Yes, subject to a line survey and controls review. The key issues are product accumulation, pitch control, conveyor height, available space, guarding, line speed and the signals exchanged with upstream and downstream equipment.
Do you supply machinery for one bottle and multipack cartons?
The application range covers individual-bottle cartons and grouped bottle formats. The final machine type depends on bottle stability, orientation, carton geometry and output.
Can you work from bottle and carton samples?
Physical samples are strongly recommended. Trials with production-representative bottles, closures, labels and cartons reduce project risk and help confirm handling, board quality and changeover requirements.
