If you work in product packaging, you know how important a good carton former is. Carton formers are machines that take flat cardboard and folds it into boxes or cartons. These cartons are then used to package all sorts of products before shipping.
Made in the USA Quality
One key advantage of Hillside carton formers is that they are manufactured in the United States. Many competing brands like HSN are made overseas in places like China. While foreign manufacturing can reduce costs, it often comes at the expense of quality control.
With Hillside’s American-made machines, you can count on stringent quality checks and oversight at every step of the manufacturing process. The components and build quality are second to none. This commitment to excellence results in carton formers that are extremely durable, reliable, and precise.
In contrast, overseas options can be hit-or-miss in terms of quality. With laxer regulations and more potential for oversight, you could end up with a machine that doesn’t live up to your standards or breaks down frequently. For packaging operations that rely heavily on their carton formers, that’s an unacceptable risk.
Customization Capabilities
Anarea where Hillside carton formers shine is customization. Since they build their machines from the ground up, they can tailor the design and specifications to your unique needs and packaging requirements.
Need a former that can handle an unusual carton size or shape? Looking for specific capabilities like gluing, taping, or specialty folds? Hillside can make it happen. Their engineering team will work closely with you to understand your processes and design a perfect-fit solution.
Mass-produced overseas formers simply can’t offer that level of customization. You’re limited to their standard, one-size-fits-all models that may not be an ideal match. With Hillside, you avoid having to compromise or settle for something that’s not quite right.
Replacement Parts and Service
Inevitably, any piece of packaging equipment is going to need repairs and replacement parts over its lifetime. When that time comes, you’ll be glad you chose a Hillside carton former. Hillside has an extensive inventory of certified OEM replacement parts compatible with all of their machines – even older models. Their domestic manufacturing and warehousing capabilities mean you can get the genuine parts you need quickly.
In contrast, overseas brands often have extremely limited parts availability. You may be forced to use uncertified third-party replacements, wait weeks or months for parts to be shipped, or even replace the entire machine prematurely.
Hillside also offers comprehensive technical support, training, and service for their carton formers. Their team of experts can help get your machine back up and running smoothly.
Built to Last
At the end of the day, a carton former is a significant investment for any company. You need a machine that will provide years of reliable service to maximize your return on that investment.
With their superior American craftsmanship, customization abilities, and long-term support, Hillside carton formers are truly built to last. They construct their machines using only the highest-quality materials and components.
Overseas options from HSN and others simply can’t match that level of quality and longevity. By going with Hillside, you’ll be getting a former that will be a workhorse in your packaging operations for decades to come.
