Case sealers apply tape to boxes on both the top and bottom to secure it for shipping. They come in both semi- and fully automatic. Semi-automatic case sealers typically have the operator manually fold down the pre-erected box’s flaps. The cases are also manually loaded into the device, which is fine for applications that are not high traffic. Case sealers are packaging machines that apply tape to the top and bottom of cardboard boxes to seal them shut. This ensures that boxes are taped effectively while reducing the amount of tape used. Case sealers are automated machines that will significantly increase the output of your facility. By introducing a case sealer into your packaging center, one will immediately notice that the sealers work much faster than the average human employee. Another benefit is by getting rid of double-tapping, which ultimately lead to unnecessary expenses. Case sealers perfectly apply the tape in an effective manner decreasing the chances of potential product damage. Case sealers come in various styles based on your specific needs.
Typically, case sealers have side mounted compression rollers to ensure that the box is tightly sealed, and the side belt drives ensures that the box stays completely square. For different sized cases or boxes, the case sealer can be adjusted via two manual crank handles.
There are many advantages to investing money into a case sealer for your warehouse or distribution center. Not only will they help you increase your output, but you’ll be able to save in labor costs.

Fully automatic case sealers fold the flaps of the box down automatically, and are usually hooked up to a conveyor system. Adding to a conveyor system is really one of the only ways to make it fully automatic, because otherwise you would need to hand load boxes into the device.
