Frequently asked questions

Which box style does Sealmaster close?

FEFCO 0410 wrap-around boxes, the style most used for furniture, panels and long products cut on CNC box makers.

Does it use tape?

No. The box is sealed with hot-melt glue in three stations.

Can it work with a CNC box machine?

Yes. It is designed to close boxes made to measure by Edda CNC cardboard machines and is part of the Themis packaging line.

What box sizes fit?

100–1200 mm wide, 300–2800 mm long and 28–250 mm high.

Can I start small and automate later?

Yes. The range is modular: a CNC machine can be extended with a magazine, a sheet feeder, a scanner and a closing machine as volumes grow.

Do you help with box design?

Yes. EDDAWORKS® includes 50+ box styles and a designer, and our team helps set up the styles you need.

What glue does Sealmaster use?

Hot-melt glue, melted in a 4-litre tank (8 litres optional) at 20–210 °C, with a melting capacity of 8 kg/h.

Can boxed products of different sizes run one after another?

Yes, within the box size range of 100–1200 × 300–2800 × 28–250 mm.

Where the Sealmaster is used

Sealmaster closes and seals FEFCO 0410 (wrap-around) boxes with hot-melt glue in three sealing stations. It is designed for the made-to-measure boxes cut on Edda CNC machines, and handles boxes from 100 to 1200 mm wide, 300 to 2800 mm long and 28 to 250 mm high.

Flat-pack furniture components

Panels, shelves and cabinet parts packed in wrap-around boxes are closed automatically, without tape.

Doors, worktops and long items

Boxes up to 2800 mm long are folded and glued closed around the product.

Box-on-demand lines

As the closing station of the Themis line, Sealmaster turns a made-to-measure blank and a product into a closed box.

How Sealmaster closes a box

A FEFCO 0410 blank is folded around the product into a tray and enters the Sealmaster. Three sealing stations fold the remaining flaps and apply hot-melt glue, so the box leaves fully closed. The glue tank holds 4 litres (8 litres optional) with a melting capacity of 8 kg/h and a tank temperature of 20–210 °C.

Gluing instead of taping gives a clean, strong closure without tape across the box surface, which suits printed or branded boxes.

• FEFCO 0410 is a wrap-around style: a single blank folds around the product, which suits flat and long items.
• The box size range covers most furniture components, panels and long products cut on CNC box machines.

Why made-to-measure boxes pay off

A packing operation that ships many product sizes from a few stock boxes pays three times for the empty space: in cardboard, in void fill such as paper or air pillows, and in freight, because carriers charge bulky parcels by volume. Products that move inside an oversized box are also more likely to be damaged.

Cutting each box to the product removes most of that empty space. Instead of storing dozens of box sizes, the plant stores a few grades of fanfold or sheet board and cuts what it needs, when it needs it. See our guide What is a box on demand machine? and our e-commerce and mixed box sizes page.

How the machines work together

Edda’s cardboard range is modular. A plant can start with a single CNC box machine and add feeding, measuring, closing and labelling as volumes grow:

Machine	Role	Key figures	Power / air
Neobox	CNC box maker (independent axle-driven tools)	Board up to 2500 mm, 2–7 mm; 200 / 120 m/min axes; 7–16 longitudinal stations	220 V single-phase, 2.5 kW
Optibox	CNC box maker (tool-carrying belt)	Board up to 2500 mm, 2–7 mm; 200 / 120 m/min axes; 7–16 longitudinal stations	220 V single-phase, 2.5 kW
C-Suite 6-8-10	Fanfold magazine behind Neobox/Optibox	6, 8 or 10 boards; 400–2500 mm wide	220 V single-phase, 6–7 bar
Sealmaster	FEFCO 0410 closing and gluing	Boxes 100–1200 × 300–2800 × 28–250 mm; 3 hot-melt stations	380 V three-phase, 8 kW
Themis	Complete line: scan, cut, form, close	Products 100 × 20 × 300 to 1000 × 250 × 3000 mm	380 V, 15.5 kW, 7–8 bar
Lotis Max	Closing, taping and labelling RTA boxes	Boxes 200–1200 × 18–200 × 200–2500 mm; 60 m/min	380 V, 10.5 kW, 6 bar

Box styles and sizes are managed in the EDDAWORKS® software, which includes more than 50 predefined box styles and a box designer.

Installation and integration

Sealmaster runs on 380 V, 50/60 Hz three-phase power with a total power of 8 kW and weighs 3000 kg (4000 kg in the optional version). It is placed after the box forming position, with conveyors bringing boxed products in and taking closed boxes to labelling and palletising.

Our engineers plan the layout with you: board storage and feeding, the position of the CNC machine, the path from cutting to packing, and the connection to closing, labelling and palletising.

What to check before ordering

• Product size range and the number of different sizes per day.
• Box styles: FEFCO 0410 wrap-around, regular slotted cartons or custom designs.
• Board: flute types and thickness, fanfold or sheet supply.
• Output: boxes per hour and per shift.
• Automation: stand-alone machine or complete line with measuring and closing.
• Utilities and space: power, compressed air and floor area.

Operation, maintenance and service

Operators keep the glue tank filled and the product flow steady. Routine care includes keeping the glue system and sealing stations clean, checking nozzles and following the maintenance intervals in the operating manual.

Edda machines run in more than 80 countries. Installation, training and service are provided by Edda and its local distributors, with remote support from our engineers in Bursa, Türkiye, where the machines are designed and built.

Corrugated board: grades and flutes

Edda CNC box machines process single and double wall corrugated board from 2 to 7 mm thick. The flute – the wavy middle layer – decides how stiff and how thick the board is:

• E flute is thin and smooth, with a good printing surface, for light products and retail boxes.
• B flute is a common choice for shipping boxes with good crush resistance.
• C flute is thicker, with more cushioning and stacking strength.
• Double wall (F/E, E/B, E/C, B/C) combines two flutes for heavy, long or valuable products such as furniture parts and doors.

Running two or three grades – for example in the C-Suite magazine – lets you match the board to each product instead of over-packing light items in heavy board.

Typical configurations

• Entry: one Neobox or Optibox with fanfold board, operator enters sizes and folds boxes.
• Mixed orders: CNC machine with the C-Suite magazine, so several board widths and grades are ready.
• Sheet board: CNC machine with the Safia sheet feeder.
• Closing without tape: CNC machine plus Sealmaster for FEFCO 0410 boxes.
• Full automation: the Themis line, from 3D measuring to a closed box.
• Flat-pack furniture: boxes closed, taped and labelled on the Lotis Max line.

Hot-melt gluing compared with taping

• Appearance: no tape across the box, so printed and branded boxes look clean.
• Strength: glued flaps form a strong, continuous closure along the box.
• Consumables: hot-melt glue instead of tape rolls.
• Speed: three sealing stations fold and glue the box in one pass.
• Opening: glued boxes are opened along the flaps; for boxes that the end customer opens by hand, tape banding can be added.

Getting started with box on demand

Most plants start by listing their products and current box sizes, and how many of each they ship. From that list our team calculates which box styles, board grades and machine configuration fit, and how much board, void fill and freight volume made-to-measure boxes could save.
