Tuck-Closure and Folding Mechanisms
Tuck-closure and folding mechanisms are key components of packaging machines that produce retail-ready cartons, sleeves, and display packs. These systems must perform precise, repeatable movements to create sharp folds, insert tabs, and secure closures to ensure both visual appeal and structural integrity.
Fold Neatly. Tuck Securely. Deliver Shelf-Ready Appeal.
Helix Linear Technologies supplies compact lead screws and linear actuators that power the fine-tuned motion behind these mechanisms. Our components deliver controlled speed and positioning for consistent folding and tab-insertion, minimizing carton misalignments or jams even at high cycle rates.
Ideal for cosmetic, pharmaceutical, food, and consumer goods packaging lines, Helix motion systems integrate easily into folding stations while supporting rapid changeovers and tight-space designs.
Key Benefits:
- Precision actuation for consistent tucks, folds, and tab engagement
- Compact form factors for integration in multi-axis folding machines
- Smooth, repeatable motion reduces downtime and material waste
- Customizable solutions for unique folding geometries and box styles
Helix delivers the motion that completes the perfect fold to help packaging machinery achieve flawless function and retail-ready finish.
