The application of the folder gluers is the final process of the packing box in the packaging and printing industry. It is a machine that takes a stream of flat open box material (called blanks) that has been produced by a die-cutter and transforms each box into a finished product by folding and gluing the boxes. The process involves folding and sticking printed, die-forming cardboard. Folder Gluers instead of manual gluing, reduce labour cost and improve efficiency. Folder gluers can process a wide variety of box materials including folding carton, corrugated board, micro flute, and so much more, and are most popular in industries like printing, packaging, and envelope manufacturing. These machines run from anywhere between 200,000 to over a million, depending on how sophisticated the machine is. The variations depend on size limitations, capabilities, and print sections for flexo folder gluers. Industries that use these machines include packaging, printing, and envelope manufacturing. There are several different kinds of materials that can be used such as paperboard, corrugated board, plastic, metalized varnished boards, microflutes, and more. These materials are used to make boxes, envelopes, bottle holders, and much more. Paperboard and corrugated are the most common materials used in these machines.
Global Folder Gluers key players include BOBST, Koenig & Bauer Duran, VEGA, etc. Global top 3 manufacturers hold a share over 33%. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, with a share about 36%, followed by North America and Europe, both have a share about 54 percent. In terms of product, Crash-lock Bottom Type is the largest segment, with a share over 45%. And in terms of application, the largest application is Food & Beverage.
The growth of the folder gluer market is primarily driven by automation trends in the packaging industry and rising environmental demands. The rapid expansion of e-commerce and consumer goods sectors has spurred demand for high-speed, high-precision machines to boost productivity and reduce labor costs. Meanwhile, stricter global environmental regulations are pushing folder gluer technology toward energy efficiency and compatibility with biodegradable materials, prompting manufacturers to develop more sustainable solutions.
The future of folder gluer machines will be shaped by smartization and versatility. On one hand, IoT and AI integration will enable remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, significantly improving operational efficiency. On the other hand, modular designs are becoming mainstream, allowing single machines to handle complex box types (e.g., hexagonal or custom shapes), particularly meeting the needs of high-value industries like luxury goods and pharmaceuticals.
