123 Bottom Box Erector
Such a small box erector converts box blanks into fully erected bottom-sealed snap lock bottom boxes, leaving the box top open outwards, which is convenient for following manual product loading, thereby saving the laborious & repetitive work of manual box folding & forming.
It has 2 types for your choice:
- Continuous Motion
- Intermittent Motion
Continuous Motion (40-60 CPM)
Continuous motion 123 bottom box erector machines work 40-60 cartons per minute.
As shown in the video below, each formed box is followed by several other boxes.
Intermittent Motion (10-15 CPM)
The following video shows the workflow of the intermittent motion 123 bottom box folding machine.
Parts
Its core components are shown in the photo below.
Including:
- Frame
- Control Console
- Electric Cabinet
- Alarm Light
- Box Blank Magazine
- Carton Erecting Unit
- Bottom Locking Unit
- Carton Outlet
- Safety Cover
Processes
Let’s dive deep into its running processes.
- Box Blank Grabbing & Conveying
Two vacuum suction cups suck a box blank from the blank magazine and then convey the blank to the carton erecting unit.
- Carton Erecting
A photoelectric eye detects the coming box blank and sends a signal to the PLC.
Then, the PLC sends a command to the other two vacuum suction cups to absorb the box blank, generating a reverse pulling force.
Two reverse pulling forces erect the box blank into a square shape.
- Bottom Interlocking
Now it’s the bottom locking unit’s turn.
It folds the female bottom closure panel first, then folds the two closure flaps, and finally tucks the male bottom closure panel into the female bottom closure panel.
- Closed Box Outputting
Compressed air blows the closed box out, and the closed boxes with open tops drop into the pre-placed collection container.
1 2 3 Bottom Box
Its workflow is clear in the video below.
If you want to customize your dreamy 123 bottom box former, contact us for a deep discussion.
Pros
1 2 3 bottom small carton erector speed is 10-15 CPM.
Achieving such a speed requires 3 skilled box-folding workers.
Even with electricity & depreciation fees, purchasing such an erector is much more cost-effective than manual box folding.
Price
The snap lock bottom carton erector machine price depends on three factors:
- Box Material & Size
- Replacement of Brand-name Components
- Customized Functions
We hope you can tell us these three factors in advance by email or WhatsApp, so we can digest your requirements and quote a reasonable price.

Suppliers
Search keywords such as 1-2-3 bottom box former or 1 2 3 bottom box erector in Google Adwords, and their monthly search volume is 0-10 globally.
Such a search volume can partially reflect that few potential customers are searching for 1 2 3 bottom box forming machines.
Because of this, there are few suppliers of such small case erectors.
Well-known case erector manufacturers in America, Combi, Lantech, Loveshaw, Pearson, Wexxar, etc., all specialize in corrugated box erectors but do not provide folding carton erectors.
We, SiroSilo, are one of the few suppliers of little carton erectors that can be found on Google.
The video below shows our assembly workshop.

Tuck End Carton Box Erector
The tuck end carton box erector machine is similar to the snap lock bottom box former, and both belong to the folding carton erector.
Intermittent Motion (10-15 CPM)
For customers who erect less than 10,000 boxes per day, this intermittent motion tuck end carton former is an excellent choice.
American customer Mr. Bob inquired about a small skin care box folding machine in September 2023.
His speed requirement is 10 CPM per minute, and his daily output is 1000-2000.
We suggest he purchase this intermittent type one (20 CPM), which has good performance, costs less, consumes less power, and is easier to maintain.
When his output increases, he can choose the continuous motion machine or buy a few more intermittent motion ones.
He readily accepted our proposal, and after 16 days of email exchanges, decided to pay the full price in advance for the purchase.
His extraordinary trust in SiroSilo will inspire us to make his machines 100% attentively.

Large Box Case Erector
SiroSilo not only supplies folding carton erectors, but also sells corrugated cardboard box erectors, including case erector tape, case erector glue, and box folding robots.
BOPP Adhesive Tape
Corrugated carton erectors with bopp tape bottom seals are the most common in the Chinese market, with numerous suppliers.
Hot Melt Glue
Hot melt adhesive sealing is becoming more popular because it has the following features.
- Environmental Friendly
Hot melt glue is environmentally friendly and has been widespread abroad.
As China increases its environmental protection efforts, hot melt adhesive sealing has become increasingly popular.
- Firm
Daily beer cartons are sealed with hot melt adhesive.
If you introduce tape to seal, the effect will be much worse.
- Anti-theft
Tape is easy to peel off and reseal from the outside, but hot melt glue is not.
Tearing off the hot melt adhesive seal will destroy the entire carton and is unrecoverable.
Robot
The speed of the box folding robot is also slow, 4-8 CMP.
But it can erect cartons of different sizes in each run.
This attractive feature has won the favor of many customers.
