Corrugated box maker purchases 200th twin box slitter from BW Papersystems

Green Bay Packaging integrates machine into its operations

Green Bay Packaging in Lebanon, Ohio, a corrugated box manufacturer, recently purchased the 200th twin box slitter from BW Papersystems in Phillips, Wisconsin. This marks a significant milestone for the machine, recognized for its precision, efficiency and contribution to box-making production lines.

The twin box slitter has become an industry favorite for the versatility it brings to production by expanding the product range box makers can manufacture with a mid-size flexo folder gluer (FFG).

The twin box slitter is a unique converting machine. The addition of a twin box slitter enables box plants to double the production of flexo folder gluers by running two-up boxes. These boxes are slit, creating two boxes. Once the boxes are separated, they are ready to be bundled. This process allows manufacturers with a mid-sized flexo folder gluer to create a range of corrugated box sizes, from very small to large, on one machine.

Green Bay Packaging joins the list of companies that have integrated this equipment into their operations.

BW Papersystems, part of Barry-Wehmiller, combines technologies to build equipment for the corrugating and finishing, sheeting and packaging, folding carton and paperboard industries. BW Papersystems’ portfolio includes stationery, passport production and specialized paper-converting applications, as well as RFID processing technology.

Barry-Wehmiller is a global supplier of engineering consulting and manufacturing technology for the packaging, corrugating, sheeting and paper-converting industries. Barry-Wehmiller is a $3.6 billion organization with nearly 12,000 team members.
