Frequently asked questions

Does it tape the top and the bottom together?

Yes. Both tape heads work in the same pass, so the box is sealed top and bottom at once.

Which box sizes can it seal?

Boxes 120–480 mm wide and 120–480 mm high, from 150 mm long.

Which tape can I use?

48–72 mm kraft paper or OPP adhesive tape.

Is the table height adjustable?

Yes: 550–750 mm on feet or 550–800 mm on castors.

How loud is it?

The noise level is 75 dB(A) or lower.

Can the Easytape be moved?

Yes. It can stand on feet or on castors, so it can be moved between packing stations.

Does it need compressed air?

No. It runs on single-phase electrical power only.

What maintenance does a carton sealer need?

Keeping the drive belts and tape heads clean, checking the cutting blades and replacing wear parts according to the operating manual.

Can it seal boxes of different sizes in a row?

The machine is set to the box width and height; when the size changes, the operator adjusts the settings. For constantly changing sizes, ask us about made-to-measure boxes.

Is the Easytape suitable for heavy boxes?

Yes, within the carton size range; use 72 mm tape for heavier boxes for a stronger seal.

Where the Easytape X is used

The Easytape X is a carton sealer that closes boxes with adhesive tape on the top and bottom in a single pass. The operator folds the flaps and feeds the box; drive belts carry it through the tape heads at 20 m/min. It suits cartons 120–480 mm wide and high, of any length from 150 mm, on standard single-phase power.

E-commerce and order fulfilment

Shipping boxes are closed top and bottom in one pass at the packing station, which is faster and more consistent than taping by hand with a tape gun.

Production and end-of-line packing

Cartons of finished products are sealed before palletising, with the same tape position and tension on every box.

Warehouses and distribution

Returned, repacked or mixed-order boxes are sealed quickly, whatever their length.

Spare parts and components

Boxes of parts and accessories within the 120–480 mm range are sealed securely for shipping.

How the Easytape X works

The operator folds the top flaps and pushes the carton into the machine. Drive belts take over and carry the box through the upper and lower tape heads at 20 m/min; the tape is applied along the top and bottom seams and cut automatically at the end of the box. Top and bottom are sealed in a single pass.

The machine is adjusted to the carton width and height, from 120 to 480 mm, and accepts boxes of any length from 150 mm. It takes 48–72 mm kraft paper or OPP adhesive tape, so you can choose paper tape for recyclable packaging or OPP for general use.

Benefits over hand taping

• Speed: each box is sealed top and bottom in one pass at 20 m/min.
• Consistency: tape is applied straight and centred on every box, which looks better and holds better.
• Less tape waste: the tape is cut to the box length automatically.
• Ergonomics: operators fold the flaps and push the box, instead of handling a tape gun on every seam.
• Easy integration: the machine stands on feet or castors and runs on single-phase power, so it can be moved to where it is needed.

Both machines cover the same carton range and speed; the Easytape X has the higher installed power. Ask us which suits your boxes and shift pattern. For banding flat-pack furniture boxes and bundles instead of seam taping, see the TapeMaster tape banding machines.

Choosing the tape

Kraft paper tape is preferred where packaging must be recyclable with the carton and for a natural look; OPP tape is a cost-effective choice for general shipping boxes. Wider tape (72 mm) gives a stronger seal on heavier boxes; 48 mm is usual for light and medium boxes. Printed tape can carry your logo or a handling instruction.

Installation and daily use

The Easytape X measures 1090 × 890 mm (L × W) and weighs 210 kg net. It runs on single-phase 110/220 V, 50 Hz power (600 W) and its table height is adjustable from 550 to 750 mm on feet or 550 to 800 mm on castors.

Operators keep tape rolls loaded and check that flaps are folded before the box enters. Routine care includes keeping the drive belts and tape heads clean, checking the cutting blades 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.

What to check before ordering

• Carton range: the smallest and largest width and height, and the shortest box.
• Box weight and content: heavier boxes may need wider tape.
• Tape type: kraft paper or OPP, plain or printed.
• Output: boxes per hour at the packing station.
• Workplace: table height, power socket and space around the machine.

Typical packing station layout

The Easytape is usually placed at the end of a packing table or roller conveyor. The packer fills the box, folds the top flaps and pushes it into the machine; the sealed box comes out on the other side, ready for labelling and palletising. Because top and bottom are sealed in one pass, the box does not need to be turned over.

For longer packing lines, an infeed roller conveyor in front of the machine and an outfeed roller conveyor behind it give space to queue boxes. Edda also builds conveyors and line equipment and, for made-to-measure boxes, box-on-demand machines that work upstream of the carton sealer.

Carton sealing or tape banding?

Seam taping with the Easytape closes the top and bottom flaps of a regular slotted carton. Orbital tape banding with a TapeMaster wraps a band of tape all the way around the product, which suits flat-pack furniture boxes, wrap-around boxes and bundles of flat products. Many packing lines use both.

Working at the packing station

A carton sealer changes the packer’s job from taping to packing. Instead of turning each box and running a tape gun along the seams, the packer folds the top flaps and pushes the box in; the machine seals top and bottom while the next box is being filled. This keeps the pace steady through the shift and removes a repetitive, tiring movement.

Because the machine adjusts to box width and height, a station that ships several box sizes can keep one sealer and change settings when the box size changes. For very mixed sizes in high volumes, made-to-measure boxes from a box-on-demand machine reduce the number of box sizes in the first place.
