Tube orientation
The infeed controls cap direction, artwork orientation and pitch before the tube enters the insertion station.

Application engineering overview
A cartoning system designed from the approved pack
An automatic tube cartoning machine controls the tube body, cap and orientation before inserting the product into the carton. Tube diameter, length, cap style and print orientation determine the infeed and transfer design, while the carton opening and closing arrangement must protect the product from compression or scuffing.
Cosmetic cartoning machine projects can cover creams, lotions, personal-care bottles, soaps and promotional inserts. Horizontal side-load or end-load cartoners are commonly used for tubes and regular packs, while a vertical cartoner can support products that are easier to load through the carton top.
Carton closing can use tuck-in flaps or an integrated hot-melt glue box sealing system. Hot-melt equipment, glue pattern, compression time and safety interlocks are specified together with the cartoner; the machinery should not be confused with a general-purpose automatic box gluing machine used outside a controlled cartoning sequence.

Applications considered during machine configuration
The feeding, change parts and carton-handling sequence are confirmed from actual samples, required output and the intended production process.
- Pharmaceutical and cosmetic tubes
- Cream, lotion and personal-care bottles
- Soap bars and wrapped products
- Tube with leaflet combinations
- Promotional inserts and multipacks
- Tuck-in and hot-melt glue cartons
System architecture
Engineering decisions that shape reliable cartoning
Surface protection
Low-marking guides and correctly supported transfers reduce scuffing on decorated tubes, bottles and cosmetic packs.
Carton closing
Tuck-in, hot-melt glue or combined closing is engineered around the approved carton board and production speed.
