Current condition
Record each blank drawing and assembled-case dimensions separately, with flap layout, printed-face orientation, opening direction, bottom-seal method and the loading-station arrangement.

Carton and Case Format Range: Format and changeover decisions
Record blank and assembled-case dimensions, flap layout, bottom closure and loading orientation. Trial the size range, changes and restored settings.
In brief
Supply flat-blank drawings and assembled-case dimensions for every required format. State flap layout, opening direction, bottom closure and the orientation needed at loading; trial the smallest and largest cases and record how settings are restored after changeover.
Keep these format records alongside the board and storage variation. Compare the complete changeover task, including access, consumables and the first case accepted for loading.

Turn your production information into clearer decisions — Carton Erecting Machines
Plan carton erecting machines around your product, pack range, target output, cleaning needs and finished-pack checks. Discuss a practical line concept with Lancing using representative samples. Use this guide to resolve carton and case format range before it limits the final system.

What to record
Carton and Case Format Range: condition, range and effect on your process
Realistic range
Include every intended carton size and ordinary supplier or storage variation. Compare the smallest and largest blanks and assembled cases, then check the restored settings and first acceptable case after each format change.
Effect on the system
Show which adjustments and restored settings change between formats, how magazine and consumable access are maintained, and whether discharge orientation and loading aperture remain usable.
Before you contact us
Five questions about carton and case format range for your application
- Who can confirm this information?Identify the person responsible for carton and case format range in production, quality, engineering or operations.
- How representative is the sample?Supply blanks from the intended supplier, their drawing revision and normal board and storage conditions, with flat and assembled dimensions for each format.
- What is the difficult condition?Include the smallest and largest cases and difficult board or storage examples. Check blank separation, opening, squaring and flap closure through the required format changes.
- How will you judge the result?Agree the method, repetitions, acceptable range, result record and the response if the observed result falls outside the agreed range.
- What else must be coordinated?Your final carton erecting machines scope must also account for cleaning, access and changeover method, finished-pack checks and reject handling, current regulations and the conditions at your site.

Carton Blank and Board Behaviour
Keep the intended supplier and ordinary board/storage variation in each size trial. A convenient blank in one format does not establish the full format range.
Carton and Case Format Range
List flat and assembled dimensions for every format, with flap layout, opening direction and printed-face orientation. Trial the smallest and largest cases.
Blank Opening, Squaring and Bottom Sealing
For each format, assess opening, squaring support, flap sequence and the specified tape or adhesive closure before transfer to loading.
Required Output and Production Pattern
Convert the packing requirement into cases needed by format. Include the usable buffer, replenishment, rejected blanks and downstream pauses when comparing accepted output.
Cleaning, Access and Changeover Method
List adjustments, access needs and recorded settings used between formats. Compare the whole changeover task and the first accepted case after restart.
Finished-Pack Checks and Reject Handling
Use the acceptance checklist to agree the reference case, squareness and closure checks, discharge orientation and handling of an incomplete case.
