Abstract:
An apparatus for rigidifying cardboard (10) having at least one fold (12), comprising creasing means for forming indentations (14) on at least one side of said cardboard (10), said creasing means being adapted to form said indentations (14) such that at least some of said indentations (14) intersect said at least one fold (12).
Abstract:
Method and system for automatically forming packaging boxes. At least four folding units each provided with a controllable gripping element support a custom sized blank supporting an article in a supporting station. The at least one of the folding units is configured for folding respective side and/or end panels of the blank upwardly. The at least four folding units comprise a front pair of folding units and a rear pair of folding units positioned at a longitudinal distance from the front pair of folding units, and the folding units of the front pair and the folding units of the rear pair are positioned at a respective transverse distance from each other. Said longitudinal distance and/or said transverse distance are adjustable.
