The vertical cartoning machine opens and fills with pick & place, or the robotic system, the boxes in various formats and close them with adhesive tape or hot glue. Vertical case packing is the best choice for products that may tip over easily if pushed, such as irregularly shaped bottles and loose tubes and are also more effective on products that do not push easily.

Horizontal case packers collate product and then push the collated grouping into the open case, which is oriented on its side. Horizontal case packers are ideal for rigid products that can be easily stacked and pushed, such as cartons or carton bundles etc.
