Prestonpak die-cut the solid board on our new Heidelberg Promatrix 145 CBS to dimensions of your required pack.
Once board has been die-cut, blanks are then load onto the gluing machine. The gluing machine are fitted with monitors that apply adhesive onto the gluing flaps. If the glue applicators fail, then the machine will stop, and any boxes made at that time will be quarantined. After gluing the boxes are strapped in bundles and palletised ready for shipment to end users and/or packaging merchant.

After manufacturing Chipboard reels at our chipboard mill in Stockport, we ship them to our other sister company Preston Board & Packaging based in Preston, England where we operate two modern, 2-meter-wide, 4 ply laminators and have the ability to offer boards from 400um to 5000um.
Once the solid board is laminated to customer specification it’s shipped to our Prestonpak BRC converting facility located in Cumbernauld, Scotland.
We laminate our high-quality solid board using a various combination of paper liner onto the chipboard depending on customer specification. This can be a combination of plain brown or white kraft paper to PE lined papers and/or coated woodfree liners
