In today’s fast-evolving packaging industry, manufacturers face growing pressure to increase efficiency, control labour costs, and guarantee consistent product quality — especially in folding carton converting. As demand for high-volume, high-precision packaging grows, automation across both the folding-gluing and packing stages is no longer optional: it is essential to remain competitive.
At DGM Technology, we provide a solution that addresses these challenges. By combining our Smartfold folder gluer with the G-Pack semi-automatic packer, converters gain a fully synchronized system that accelerates production from folding to final packing — while reducing manual intervention and maximizing output reliability.
Smartfold: A Folder Gluer Synonymous with Reliability and Versatility
The Smartfold series is a cornerstone of DGM’s folder gluer portfolio, valued by converters worldwide for its technical maturity, reliability, and adaptability across industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, FMCG, and electronics.
Smartfold is engineered for high-speed production, capable of processing a broad range of box styles — from straight-line cartons to crash-lock bottoms and complex 4- and 6-corner configurations. Its versatility ensures that converters can confidently address the diverse packaging requirements of premium brands and mass-market products alike.
Beyond box type flexibility, Smartfold is designed for precision, speed, and consistency. It handles a wide array of materials, including standard folding cartons and micro-corrugated boards, while achieving production speeds of up to 400 meters per minute. This ensures that converters meet demanding output targets without compromising on folding or gluing accuracy.
For companies seeking to optimize productivity while ensuring quality, Smartfold remains a benchmark solution — trusted, proven, and production-ready.
G-Pack: The Smart, Semi-Automatic Packer for Streamlined Box Handling
While the folding and gluing process is critical, the real bottleneck often arises at the end of the line: the packing stage. Once cartons are folded and glued, they need to be collected, squared, stacked, and prepared for shipment — and that’s precisely where the G-Pack semi-automatic packer adds value.
G-Pack is purpose-built to complement Smartfold, creating a direct and efficient link between folding-gluing and final packing. It receives cartons directly from the gluer’s output, gently rotates them 90 degrees for alignment, and organizes them into pre-counted stacks ready for boxing. This process ensures accuracy in batch counts, maintains stack quality, and significantly reduces manual handling.
Adaptable to various box sizes and styles, G-Pack not only improves packing efficiency but also enhances ergonomics on the shop floor. Operators benefit from easier handling of cartons, reducing physical strain and improving workflow comfort.
Better Together: A Complete, Integrated Solution Without Bottlenecks
Although Smartfold and G-Pack are each highly capable on their own, their true strength lies in their integration. Together, they form a continuous, automated production line where every stage — from folding and gluing to stacking and packing — is fully optimized for flow, speed, and consistency.
This synergy eliminates bottlenecks that typically occur at the end of folding-gluing lines, allowing converters to fully capitalize on the speed and precision of Smartfold while ensuring that the packing process keeps pace. The result is a smoother, faster, and more reliable production cycle, with fewer operators required per shift and improved overall productivity.
For converters working in sectors where hygiene, precision, and presentation are paramount — such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and premium packaging — the Smartfold + G-Pack solution delivers not just efficiency but also the consistency and compliance needed to meet stringent market standards.
Proven Performance: A Real-World Example
A prominent pharmaceutical manufacturer recently upgraded its packaging line with the Smartfold + G-Pack system. The impact was immediate and measurable:
• Packing speed increased by 40%
• Setup times cut by 50%
• Defect rates consistently under 1%
• Full GMP compliance through reduced manual intervention
• Smooth operation with just two operators per shift
These results illustrate how an integrated folding-gluing and packing solution can significantly improve not only throughput but also product quality and operational efficiency.
At DGM Technology, we design solutions that enable converters to scale effectively while optimizing operational costs. With the Smartfold + G-Pack combination, companies gain a system that enhances productivity, simplifies processes, and elevates the final product presentation — all critical advantages in today’s competitive packaging markets.
If you’re ready to modernize your folding carton line, streamline your production flow, and ensure that no step in your process holds you back, Smartfold + G-Pack is the smart, scalable solution to move your packaging operations forward.
