{"title":"Cartoning Machines","description":"\u003cp\u003eLeadlife cartoning machines erect, load, and close folding cartons around bottles, blister cards, sachets, and other primary packs — the retail-ready finishing step for many supplement lines. Horizontal cartoners handle product loading, optional leaflet insertion, and tuck or glue closing, bringing consistency and speed to secondary packaging. Configurations suit brands consolidating single or multiple primary units into a printed carton for shelf presentation and tamper evidence. Nominal cartons-per-minute are model-rated; actual output depends on carton size, product type, infeed format, machine configuration, setup, and operator workflow. Stainless and tooled contact areas support cleaning and changeovers across carton sizes.
