A method for erecting a box from a box template, said method comprising:
- folding two first bottom flaps and two second bottom flaps of the box template, the first and second bottom flaps being configured to form a bottom of the box when it is erected and the two first bottom flaps are opposing each other and the two second bottom flaps are opposing each other in the box when it is erected;
- attaching the box template to a frame;
- rotating the frame to wrap the box template around the frame;
- and
- securing a manufacturer's joint and a bottom of the box before the erected box is separated from the frame.
A box erecting system for erecting a box from a box template, said box erecting system comprising:
- a frame;
- an attaching device connected to the frame and configured for attaching the frame to a first end of a box template to be erected;
- a control system connected to said frame and configured for rotating said frame for wrapping a box template attached to the frame around the frame;
- a first guiding device arranged in the box erecting system for folding two first bottom flaps and two second bottom flaps of the box template before the box template is wrapped around the frame, the first and second bottom flaps being configured to form a bottom of the box when it is erected and the two first bottom flaps are opposing each other and the two second bottom flaps are opposing each other in the box when it is erected.
A method for erecting a box from a box template, said method comprising:
- folding two first bottom flaps and two second bottom flaps of the box template, the first and second bottom flaps being configured to form a bottom of the box when it is erected and the two first bottom flaps are opposing each other and the two second bottom flaps are opposing each other in the box when it is erected, folding the two first bottom flaps and the two second bottom flaps comprising folding the two first bottom flaps a first amount and folding the two second bottom flaps a second amount that is different than the first amount;
- attaching the box template to a frame;
- and
- rotating the frame to wrap the box template around the frame.
A method for erecting a box from a box template, said method comprising:
- adjusting a position of a first guiding device and a second guiding device of a feeding part of a box erecting system before the box template is advanced through the feeding part, said position is adjusted according to a height of side walls of the box template, which height corresponds to a height of the finally erected box
- folding two first bottom flaps and two second bottom flaps of the box template, the first and second bottom flaps being configured to form a bottom of the box when it is erected and the two first bottom flaps are opposing each other and the two second bottom flaps are opposing each other in the box when it is erected;
- attaching the box template to a frame;
- and
- rotating the frame to wrap the box template around the frame.
