Stapellågskära

Stapellågskära is a Swedish term that translates to "stack lid cutter" or "stack cover cutter". It refers to a specialized tool or a machine attachment used in the packaging industry, particularly for the production of corrugated cardboard boxes. The primary function of a stapellågskära is to precisely cut the material that forms the top flaps or lid of a box, preparing them for subsequent folding and sealing.

These cutting devices are often integrated into high-speed converting lines where large sheets of cardboard are processed into finished boxes. The stapellågskära typically employs rotary or reciprocating blades to achieve clean and accurate cuts. The design of the stapellågskära is crucial for ensuring that the flaps can be properly interlocked or glued, creating a secure and stable closure for the final package.

The precision of the cuts made by a stapellågskära directly impacts the efficiency of subsequent gluing or stapling operations and the overall integrity of the box. Variations in the design exist depending on the specific type of box being produced, such as American tuck-end boxes, regular slotted containers (RSC), or other specialized packaging formats. Maintenance and sharpness of the cutting blades are essential for optimal performance and to prevent material damage.
