Cartoning machines or cartoner are packaging machines used to form various types of cartons like erect, close, folded, side seamed, and sealed cartons. Cartoning machines are divided into horizontal and vertical cartoning machines, the bifurcation is based on the position where the carton is fed through the machine. The product is inserted from the side of the carton in horizontal cartoning machines and the product is inserted manually or automatically, most often from the top of the machine in vertical cartoning machines.

Market Dynamics

The expanding logistics and e-commerce industry is supporting the high demand of the cartoning machines in the global market. The increasing demand for carton packaging market, particularly in the FMCG industry is bolstering the market growth. The rapidly growing end-use industries like food & beverages (non-carbonated beverages etc.) and the pharmaceutical in developing areas are further boosting the market value. The features associated with the carton packaging such as protective packaging ensures the safety of the product throughout the supply chain is contributing to the demand and growth of cartoner across the globe.
