Folding and gluing

General information
What does folding and gluing mean?
Folding and gluing is a crucial step in the production of many packaging and print products. To meet the diverse needs of this sector, equipment must be fast, efficient, and adaptable.
Large production volumes – often millions of pieces per day – require extremely high-speed machines (up to 80–100,000 copies per hour), supported by robust feeding and delivery systems.
That’s where Petratto’s Metro line comes in. Its modular, customisable design allows you to build a configuration tailored to your needs – whether you're running large-scale batches or smaller jobs that would be uneconomical on traditional folding-gluing systems due to long setup times.
Find out how to compose your Metro to adapt it to your needs, regardless of the scale of the project.
