Ready to feed fanfold

Machinery - Our program is based on the placement of a packaging system at the end-user facility and the supply of raw materials.  Our customers buy equipment or receive equipment via a contract for the supply of raw materials manufactured or distributed by Plymouth Packaging.  We design and propose systems based on each customer's needs.  Simple setups to complex integrated systems are available.   

We provide:

  • CNC box converting equipment with simple to high-production raw material feeding systems
  • Inline gluing equipment to perform secondary activities necessary to produce a finished box
  • Ink-jet coding equipment to ID boxes
  • Label equipment to label boxes
  • Box production software - to schedule and manage a box production line
  • Box design software - to help build and test new packages
  • Scanning equipment - to integrate with existing bar code schemes or IT systems Raw Materials - “Ready to Feed”


Operators spend most of their time on one side of their machinery – the output side. This is because our systems utilize fanfold, a material that allows the machine to continuously feed. When using a ready to feed system, several hundred boxes can be made without reloading raw material. Because of this, the productivity of the system is drastically increased. Operators are rarely on the input side of the machine and instead spend their time producing and packing boxes. Fanfold has another added benefit. Each box end cut is also the beginning of the next box in sequence. This gives ZERO scrap in the feed direction of the machine.  Of all corrugated products, fanfold has the most efficient trucking cube utilization.  Bales of material stack two high and two wide perfectly in a 53" trailer. Plymouth Packaging is the premier manufacturer of ready to feed fanfold corrugated material. Our Battle Creek facility is designed and staffed to produce this product with great efficiency, quality and flexibility.
