Boxmaker.Pro has launched the SSG1600, a compact side seam gluer developed for short-run corrugated box production, sample work, rework and jobs that are still commonly hand-glued.
The machine is aimed at sheet plants, box makers and packaging producers looking for a practical way to improve consistency and reduce labour on straight-line side seam applications, without tying up a main folder-gluer for smaller or more awkward jobs.
The SSG1600 is now available to view and test at Boxmaker.Pro’s Wiltshire demo facility. Customers can send sample blanks, photos, drawings or dimensions for a suitability check, with demonstrations available either in person or by video.
Simon Needham of Boxmaker.Pro said:
“There are still a lot of awkward short-run and hand-glued jobs in the market. The SSG1600 is intended to give box makers a simple, affordable way to handle those jobs more consistently without overcomplicating the process.”
Typical applications include short-run straight-line side seam work, samples, rework, specials, overflow jobs and applications where a consistent glue line is needed but a larger folder-gluer may not be the most practical option.
Optional taping heads are also available for other applications such as tear tape, Peel & seal etc.
