Honeycomb Paper Core Sleeve Making Machine
The SD-PC700 turns kraft paper rolls into honeycomb paper core sleeves in a single automated process. It feeds paper cores into a forming station, glues them with water-based adhesive, and outputs ready-to-use protective sleeves for packaging bottles, fruits, flowers, ceramics, and glassware.
- Produces paper core sleeves that replace plastic foam inserts without scratching delicate surfaces
- Uses water-based glue for eco-friendly production with no toxic emissions
- Automated feeding and forming reduce manual handling and operator fatigue
- Adjustable core length from 200 to 700 mm allows one machine to support multiple product sizes
- High-speed operation at 12 pieces per minute when making 220 mm sleeves reduces line downtime

Application Scenarios
- Packaging converters producing custom paper core sleeves for e-commerce and food delivery
- In-house packaging teams replacing plastic inserts with recyclable paper cores
- Flower and fruit exporters needing scratch-free cushioning for fragile shipments
- Glassware and ceramics manufacturers protecting products during transit
- E-commerce fulfilment centres reducing plastic use while maintaining protection
Who It Is For
- Protective packaging producers adding paper core sleeves to their product line
- Fruit and flower exporters requiring biodegradable packaging for international markets
- Glassware and ceramic manufacturers seeking non-scratch cushioning alternatives
- E-commerce operators under plastic reduction regulations needing compliant packaging
- Distributors supplying paper core sleeves to regional packaging converters
Problems It Solves
- Plastic foam inserts are being banned or taxed in key export markets, requiring a paper alternative
- Manual assembly of paper cores is slow, inconsistent, and labor-intensive
- Existing plastic inserts scratch polished surfaces on glass, ceramics, and metal
- Buyers cannot source ready-made paper core sleeves at a competitive cost or with fast delivery
- Lack of in-house production capacity forces reliance on third-party suppliers with long lead times
Technical Features
- Automated feeding of 30 to 50 paper cores per group into the forming station
- Water-based glue applied at the joint for strong bonding without chemical residue
- Adjustable paper core height from 10 to 15 mm and width from 80 to 160 layers (10–20 mm)
- Paper core length settable from 200 to 700 mm, with 220 mm, 350 mm, and 450 mm as most common
- Feeding configuration allows 3 cores at once for 220 mm length, 2 cores for 350 mm length
- Machine operates at 4 to 12 pieces per minute depending on core length
- Computer-controlled system ensures consistent glue application and core alignment

Compared With the Alternatives
Buying pre-made paper core sleeves
In-house production removes supplier margin and delivery delays but requires holding paper stock and operator time
Plastic foam inserts
Paper cores are recyclable and non-scratch but do not provide moisture barrier protection
Manual core assembly
Automated feeding and forming reduce labor cost and inconsistency but require initial setup time
Honeycomb paper roll machines
This machine makes sleeves; a roll machine produces continuous honeycomb paper for wrapping
Use Guide
- Load 30 to 50 kraft paper cores into the feeding box before starting
- Set core length on the touch screen (e.g., 220 mm, 350 mm, or 450 mm)
- Select feeding configuration: 3 cores for 220 mm, 2 for 350 mm, 1 for longer lengths
- Start the machine and verify glue application and core alignment on first few units
- Adjust air pressure to 0.6 MPa and confirm servo motor runs smoothly at target speed
Questions About This Machine
