Double Wall Paper Cup Forming Machines

[INQ. NO. 2404M05] As one of the leading manufacturers and exporters in the paper cup machine field in Korea, since 1985, Future Pack Co., Ltd. has been manufacturing various kinds of packaging-related machinery such as paper cup machines, handle cup machines, paper cup sleeve (two-layer coffee, cotton & plastic cup) machines, blank punching machines, printing & punching machines, blank offset printing machines, paper plate (tray) machines, and food packaging box machines.
Future Pack has so far exported more than 900 types of forming machines to customers around the world, and thus emerged as a leader in this industry in Korea.

Two types of double wall forming machines
The double wall forming machine (double cup machine) is a machine that produces double cups by adding one layer of paper to the outer surface of ordinary paper cups.
Future Pack’s double wall forming machines come in two types, according to the cup size: FPP-275A, which produces small cups from 8oz to 16oz; and FPP-275C, which produces large cups from 18oz to 32oz. The two machines have almost the same specifications, but there is a difference in the speed of paper cup production. The FPP-275A produces up to 55 per minute, while the FPP-275C produces up to 50 per minute.
Above all, the biggest advantage of double wall forming machines is that they can produce double cups using not only 1PE (polyethylene coated on one side), and 2PE (polyethylene coated on both sides) paper, but also PLA or water-based, plastic-free coating. Moreover, it is an environmentally friendly product that helps solve recycling-related issues.

Packaging Materials

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2404M03] INDIS AIR as the the first air buffer system manufacturer in Korea has since its founding in 2006 been accumulating the best know-how and technology and provided products with the best design technology – along with providing customized service.
G-Polpack is INDIS AIR’s air packaging brand with innovative air-fill technology ensuring secure transport and reducing damage risk. With G-Polpack, the packaging process can be done with just one simple air inflation that does not result in dirt and particles.
G-Polpack is designed to withstand strong impacts and reduce movements by its cylindrical structure and perfectly fitting design. It can minimize transportation costs and environmental impact due to its small volume compared to the traditional packing materials.

In the case of the applicability to wine bottles, G-Polpack can completely protect the upper part of the wine bottle, so it can be safe even if the bottle neck is impacted. Each air column of the product is designed as an independent structure. So even if one column pops, the other columns are not affected. The curved bottom of the product provides a great cushioning effect for wine bottles, safeguarding even if the wine box falls during shipping or if a wine bottle falls vertically. There is enough space between each wine bottle so that there is no risk of the wine bottles collapsing and getting broken.
A user at a customer company remarked, “It’s been five years since I’ve been using G-Polpack. Compared to the times when we were using bubble wraps or foam covers, the risk rate of damage has now dropped from 30% to 5%. Also, since I had to pay thorough and closer attention to packaging, it took quite a lot of time. Now with G-Polpack, the process has become much simpler and time-efficiency greatly improved.”
G-Polpack received ‘Green Certification’ for reducing waste in 2014. G-Polpack is an eco-friendly packaging material used as a packaging material for agricultural / marine / livestock foods which is free from hazardous materials regulations.

“With the largest facility in Korea and the best quality in the industry, we aim to lead the air pack packaging industry and become a global leader. We will continue to innovate and improve our products to meet the needs of customers,” noted the company’s CEO.
