How to make patch handle carrier bags?

We have modified our Paperfox MP-2 press for punching handle into plastic or paper carrier bags.

Our Paperfox MP-2 press with a MPA-2 table is a real multi purpose device, but now we increased its capabilities.

Creasing, perforating, cutting, kisscutting even in 147cm width.

We have developed a creasing perforating and kisscutting machine with you can crease, perforate or kisscut even 147cm wide sheets.

The robust machine is driven by an industrial gearmotor so you can crease perforate or cut even thick and hard materiale with this machine.

If you don't use the machine, then you can fold down the feeding table to reduce the space needed for the machine.

We built in the machine the circular knives of the Paperfox kisscutting, creasing and paerfoating machines, but we mage some modifications on the knife holders for beeing able to crease, perforate and cut thicker materials.

The machine was designed first of all for manufacturing corrugated paper boxes but you can use it for other purposes.

Simple box-maker equipped with a scale and fixing screw

We have equipped our simple box making device with a scale and with a srew with you can fix the device to any table.

In this way you can make boxes even quicker and more comfortable with this useful device.

Box making even simpler

We've manufactured a prototype, which can make welpaper boxes in a simple way.

You can crease or perforate all 4 sides of the wellpaper sheet, cut it like in the following picture and you can stick or staple the box.

In this way you can produce so called "telescope-type boxes" consisting of more than one piece and are characterised by a lid and/or bottom telescoping over the body of the box.

A simple way of making corrugated paper boxes

You don't need an expensive machine to create your own corrugated paper boxes.

Just mount a guide on a chipboard plate and you can cut the corrugated paper with a sharp knife, you can crease it with a not so sharp knife.

You can perforate alongside the guide with a simple perforating tool. In this way there is no problem with the wave direction of the corrugated paper, you can perforate it easily.

We made this perforating tool from a perforating knife which we use in our kisscutting-creasing-perforating machines.

Punching positioned to printed elements on the sheet

Some customer of us has asked, that how could they punch with the Paperfox paper punches so that the hole should be positioned to the printed elements on the sheet. The printed elements maybe not always in the same place on the sheets, so the positioning the edge of the sheets to the paper guides not a proper solution.

You can use the Paperfox MP-1 press with an MPA-1 table. (The MP-2 paper punch with an MPA-2 table or a KB-32 paper punch with an MA-500 table also can be used in similar way.)

Stick a transparent foil on a 3mm thick plastic plate. (You can use a VLPOM cutting plate. )

Use an adhesive band and stick the foil at a side on the plastic plate.

The plastic foil can be folded up, but if you fold it back it will always get back in the same position.

Place the plastic plate under the MP-1 press equipped with a MPA-1 table and position it to the paper guides as in the picture.

Punch the foil with the Paperfox MP-1 paper punch.

Now the plastic plate and the punched transparent foil looks like in the following picture:

Insert the sheet which you want to punch under the transparent foil and position the printed elements on the sheet under the punching in the transparent foil.

Place the plastic plate with the transparent foil and the paper which you want to punch under the MP-1 paper punch. Position the plastic plate to the paper guides.

Punch the paper! In this way you can punch the sheet in the required place.

Case maker

We have manufactured a very simple case maker device.

You can create hard covers with this simple device. The positioning of the covering paper is helped by an electric light. 

A few years ago we have constructed a similar device which used vacuum for keeping the covering paper in the same position.
