PR Electronics contacted us with a clear challenge: their products were being packed in cardboard boxes that could be folded manually, but the process was time-consuming and labour-intensive. The company wanted a faster solution that would increase efficiency while maintaining flexibility, since they were working with several different box formats. 

Cardboard packaging is also a strategic choice for PR Electronics. Compared to plastic alternatives, cardboard is more environmentally friendly, easier to recycle, and aligns with the company’s sustainability goals. To fully benefit from this decision, the packaging process needed to be optimised. 

We developed a fully automatic cardboard folding machine designed specifically for PR Electronics’ product range. The system was engineered to handle multiple packaging sizes and easily switch between formats. The machine could fold the same packaging that their operators previously folded by hand, ensuring seamless integration with existing materials and workflows.

Key features included:

  • Automatic feeding and folding of cardboard
  • Fast changeover between different box sizes
  • Consistent and precise folding
  • Compact footprint for easy installation
  • Designed for operator-friendly maintenance 

With the new folding machine, PR Electronics achieved:

  • Significant time savings in the packaging process
  • Increased production capacity without adding staff
  • Reduced the risk of repetitive strain injuries for employees
  • Consistent packaging quality across all products
  • Stronger environmental profile, thanks to the use of cardboard 

The machine has become a central part of their packaging area, supporting both productivity and sustainability. By combining mechanical design, automation, and extensive experience of the industry, we delivered a solution that met PR Electronics’ performance requirements while supporting their environmental strategy. The automatic cardboard folding machine is a good example of how targeted automation can both optimise production and contribute to greener manufacturing.
