Gluing technology for packaging and cardboard items
Packaging and cardboard items
In the packaging industry, absolute precision at high speeds is required during the manufacture of primary and secondary packing, and likewise during the production of labels. Reliability, efficiency and flexibility in this industry create essential prerequisites for high-quality results during adhesive application.
At Kaletech, we know these requirements and offer appropriately efficient and versatile adhesive application systems. In close cooperation with many of the world's largest engineering manufacturers, we have developed perfectly adapted systems for the cold and hot-melt gluing processes used in this sector.
Contact us. We will design a tailor-made adhesive application system for the packaging industry for you and provide training in its use. You can rely on our service, or try the technology in advance in our rental shop.
Typical applications in the packaging industry
- Wrap Around
- Application Sift Proof

- Production/closing of folding cardboard boxes
- Top-filled boxes
- Fruit tray production
- Vertical/horizontal cardboard packaging
- Slit nozzle labelling
- Filling and labelling
- Closing with lids
- Straw gluing
- Original closures
- Stabilisation of goods on pallets with hot-melt/cold adhesives

What we have been able to solve
Click to view the details of each case study
Labelling of bottles with a variable number of joins
The program automatically determines the number of applied coats according to the production program.
Labelling of bottles with a variable number of joins
Assignment
The customer's request was to deliver gluing technology for bottle labelling. They required versatility and the possibility to use the technology for multiple product types, each with a different number of joins.
Solution
The solution was the use of seven application modules for sprayed adhesive application and connection of the control unit with a PLC production program.
Results
The modules apply adhesive at the desired height according to the specific product. Everything is controlled automatically and it is not necessary to adjust the machine settings.
Elimination of curvature defects in corrugated cardboard packaging
Thanks to the Perfect Fold technology, corrugated packaging manufacturer Solpap has completely eliminated claims of curvature defects.
Elimination of curvature defects in corrugated cardboard packaging
Assignment
Czech corrugated packaging manufacturer Solpap wanted to improve the bending quality of its packaging and reduce the number of complaints about the shape accuracy of its products.
Solution
We used Perfect Fold technology, which applies softening liquid contactlessly to the two lines of packaging to be folded. The softening liquid reduces the stiffness of the paperboard, allowing it to be folded precisely at the folding edges without much effort.
Results
Since the installation of Perfect Fold, Solpap has not dealt with the curvature of the fold and has no complaint about this defect. Aside from zero complaints, the boxes are overall straighter and customers are happier.
Gluing of cardboard packaging with variable height
The application head is automatically set to the desired position depending on the size of the package.
Gluing of cardboard packaging with variable height
Assignment
The customer's request was to deliver gluing technology for the production of packaging with different heights depending on the volume of packaging.
Solution
The solution was the use of an adhesive bead application using a head which automatically changes its height according to the given product.
Results
The modules apply adhesive at the desired height, according to the specific product. Everything is controlled automatically, production can take place even for a large quantity of packages, and there is no need to adjust the machine settings.
