Cardboard punnets and trays
Cardboard punnets and trays as sustainable packaging
Sustainable packaging is an important pillar of policy for many growers, producers and retailers. Recent new studies show that 74% of consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable packaging. Most of the consumers become environmentally aware and are willing to pay more as environmentally friendly and recyclable packaging is being considered more and more important*. Not only are they willing to pay more, but most of the consumers identified as environmentally aware, cites environmentally friendly and recyclable packaging as important.
Unfortunately, there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution for the ultimate sustainable packaging. Its development differs per product, company and branch. However, punnets and trays made of sturdy (food-safe) cardboard can form a solution for many different industries for the sustainable packaging, transport and presentation of products.
For automatically forming and gluing of punnets and trays of solid and corrugated board, Boix offers two simple entry-level tray formers: Boix MCT-1/V and Boix Q-1800
MCT-1

The MCT1/V punnet machine is an automatic and adjustable 2-headed tray former, which can set up 2 different sizes of trays simultaneously. The compact packaging machine is mechanically driven by 1 motor that drives 2 adjustable heads with the aid of connecting rods. This allows the machine to simultaneously set up 2 different sizes of trays and punnets of corrugated- and solid board with a capacity up to 1.800 to 3.500 trays per hour (per head). No qualified technician is required for changing formats.
The machine is an entry-level model from the assortment of Boix tray formers. The delivery time is approximately 30 to 60 days.
