Mounting: How mounting works in folded carton.
Mounting is an important step in the folded carton manufacturing process that involves attaching the printed image or design to the carton board before it is cut, folded and glued into its final shape. Here's how it works:
Print preparation: The printed image or design is prepared for mounting. This typically involves creating a film or plate of the image or design, which is used to transfer the image or design onto the carton board.
Mounting the image or design: The film or plate of the image or design is then mounted onto the carton board. This is typically done using a specialized mounting press, which applies heat and pressure to the film or plate, transferring the image or design onto the carton board.
Inspection: After the image or design is mounted onto the carton board, it is inspected for accuracy and quality. Any imperfections or errors are corrected at this stage.
Die-cutting: The mounted carton board is then cut into the desired shape using a die-cutting machine. The die-cutting machine uses a sharp cutting blade to cut the carton board into the desired shape.
Folding: The cut carton board is then folded along the pre-scored lines to create the final shape of the carton.
Gluing: The folded carton is then glued together using a specialized gluing machine. This step is done to ensure the carton stays in its final shape and holds the product inside.
Inspection and packaging: Once the gluing process is completed, the cartons are inspected for any defects and then packaged for shipping.
Mounting is an important step in the folded carton manufacturing process as it allows for high-quality printed images or designs to be transferred onto the carton board. The mounting process is typically done using a specialized mounting press, which applies heat and pressure to transfer the image or design onto the carton board. The mounted carton board is then cut, folded and glued into its final shape and inspected for quality before being packaged for shipping.
