Honeycomb Paper Core Sleeve Making Machine
Forms honeycomb paper into open sleeves that slide over bottles and fragile items
Product Overview
The EM-PC900 turns honeycomb paper into a core sleeve that opens out and slides over the item being packed. Because the sleeve expands rather than being wrapped tight, it cushions without scratching the surface, which is what makes it usable on bottles, fruit, flowers, ceramics and glassware. Cores are made from 50 g to 70 g paper between 200 mm and 900 mm long, and the feeding box holds 30 to 50 cores per group.
Key Benefits
- Finished sleeves open easily and protect without marking a polished or printed surface
- Core length from 200 mm to 900 mm covers everything from a wine bottle to a long fragile part
- Multiple cores per cycle at shorter lengths: four at 220 mm, two at 350 mm
- Feeding box staged with 30 to 50 cores per group keeps the cycle running
What This Machine Fixes
- Plastic net sleeves are a separate waste stream the receiver has to deal with
- Wrapping each bottle by hand is slow and gives inconsistent protection
- Tight wrapped materials can mark printed labels and polished glaze
Who Buys It
- Bottlers and beverage packers moving away from plastic net sleeves
- Fresh produce and floral exporters packing premium grades
- Converters supplying sleeves to glassware and ceramic manufacturers
Where The Output Is Used
- Sleeving wine and spirit bottles for retail and export
- Protecting individual fruit and flowers in a display carton
- Sleeving ceramics and glassware before they go into a shipper
- Replacing expanded plastic net sleeves on a bottling line
How It Is Built
- Machine model EM-PC900 for paper from 50 g to 70 g
- Working speed 4 to 12 pieces per minute, reaching 12 per minute at 220 mm finished length with three cores at a time
- Feeding box holds 30 to 50 cores per group
- Paper core height 10 to 15 mm, width 80 to 160 layers, which is 10 to 20 mm
- Paper core length 200 to 900 mm, with 220 mm, 350 mm and 450 mm the most common
- 3 kW on a 1500 x 800 x 1300 mm frame at 500 kg

The Process This Machine Runs
Core feeding
Stage 1 of the honeycomb paper core sleeve making machine process.
Honeycomb paper forming
Stage 2 of the honeycomb paper core sleeve making machine process.
Sleeve assembly
Stage 3 of the honeycomb paper core sleeve making machine process.
Discharge
Stage 4 of the honeycomb paper core sleeve making machine process.
Quality Control
- Sleeve opening checked by hand on the first pieces of each length change
- Core height and layer count verified against the order specification
- Cycle rate confirmed at the finished length being run
Use Guide
- Load the feeding box to a full group of 30 to 50 cores before starting
- Set the finished length first, then confirm how many cores can be fed per cycle
- Check sleeve opening on the first pieces after any length change
- Keep the discharge area clear so finished sleeves are not crushed
How It Compares With The Alternatives
Compared with Kraft Honeycomb Paper Forming Machine
The forming machine produces honeycomb paper in a roll. The EM-PC900 turns that material into a discrete sleeve, so the two machines sit in sequence rather than competing.
Compared with Plastic net sleeves
A honeycomb paper sleeve goes into the customer's paper recycling. Expanded plastic net does not.
Honeycomb Paper Core Sleeve Making Machine FAQ
How fast does it make sleeves?
4 to 12 pieces per minute. At a finished length of 220 mm it can make three at a time, which gives the 12 per minute figure.
What core lengths can it make?
200 mm to 900 mm. The most common orders are 220 mm, 350 mm and 450 mm. At 220 mm four cores can be fed at a time and at 350 mm two can.
What paper does it use?
Honeycomb paper from 50 g to 70 g.
What determines the sleeve wall thickness?
The layer count, which is set between 80 and 160 layers, giving 10 to 20 mm of width.
What power and footprint should we plan for?
3 kW, 1500 x 800 x 1300 mm and 500 kg, on 380 V three phase or as required.
Can we see it running before ordering?
A demo machine is kept in the workshop and can be shown running by video.
