Can you produce drawer boxes with a "top-collar" or full-overlap sleeve?
Absolutely. Our machines are versatile and can form both standard drawer sleeves and top-collar styles where the sleeve wraps over the top edges of the inner box. Tooling adjustments are made to accommodate the different folding and gluing requirements.
Is the production process for a drawer box more complex or slower than for a lid-and-base box?
The process involves an extra step for the outer sleeve. While slightly more complex, our automated, continuous-feed systems streamline production. Speed may be marginally lower than a simple lid-and-base box but remains highly efficient, often within 20-40 pieces per minute depending on size.
What is the key to preventing the drawer from sagging or deforming?
The key is structural integrity. We use robust corner pasting technology and our machines apply uniform pressure during forming. Using the appropriate board weight (we recommend >1.5mm for taller drawers) is also crucial for long-term durability.
Can you handle drawer boxes with inner partitions or compartments?
Yes. Our machines can form the main drawer structure. Fixed inner partitions typically require a separate, glued-in insert that can be assembled after the main box is formed. We can provide solutions or recommendations for integrated or removable compartment designs.
How does your machine ensure smooth and sturdy drawer movement?
We achieve this through precision corner pasting which creates strong, clean joints, and servo-controlled forming that guarantees exact 90-degree angles. This results in a rigid structure that allows the drawer to slide smoothly without wobbling.
