3 Ply Corrugated Box Making Machine
A complete line for single-wall corrugated board.
Built around single-wall board
The 3-ply corrugated box making machine is a complete corrugated production solution designed to manufacture single-wall corrugated board. Depending on production needs, it can be equipped with different flute types. The 3-ply corrugation machine produces corrugated board with excellent strength and cushioning performance by combining different paper grades and flute types. This corrugated board can meet the different demands of packaging, such as e-commerce packaging boxes, food packaging boxes, agricultural packaging boxes, and so on.
AGICO PAPER offers the 3-ply corrugated box-making machine. This machine is designed to meet the requirements of stable production efficiency and consistent board quality in corrugated box manufacturing and packaging converters. It can improve capacity with a stable production technique and reduce production losses and production costs. For customers with increasing production demands, AGICO PAPER can provide 5-ply and 7-ply corrugated line solutions.
Production Process of 3 Ply Corrugated Box Plant
The 3-ply corrugated box plant needs processes such as corrugated forming, three-layer paper lamination, and heating and setting, continuously processing linerboard, corrugating medium, and inner liner to produce high-strength, structurally stable single-wall corrugated board. During production, the corrugating medium is formed into the required flute profile and accurately laminated with two layers of linerboard through precise gluing and bonding processes. Through stable pressure and control of temperature, this production line produces corrugated board meeting the needs of packaging.
Configuration of 3 Ply Automatic Corrugated Box Plant
This automatic corrugated box manufacturing unit consists of multiple core units. According to the corrugated cardboard production process, it is divided into two continuously associated process sections: the dry end and the wet end. All equipment operates in coordination with each other, realizing the corrugated board's continuous production.
Dry End Equipment: Slitter scorer, cut-off machine, and stacker. This equipment processes corrugated board according to order requirements through slitting, scoring, cutting, and stacking. Making the finished corrugated sheets meet the requirements of subsequent carton processing and order production.
AGICO PAPER can offer different configurations of 3-ply corrugated line solutions according to the customer’s needs. The production line can be adjusted according to the production speed, working width, degree of automation, and product specifications.

Advantages of AGICO 3 Ply Corrugated Box Machine
The 3-ply corrugated box making machine can realize the balance between structural strength and material efficiency, so it also becomes an ideal choice for the bulk production of single-wall corrugated boxes.
High-Speed Operation
Its speed can reach 100-300m/min. It is also equipped with a high-speed automatic splicer, enabling quick order changeover and non-stop splicing. From raw paper feeding to corrugated board stacking, its production is consistent and stable. Effectively enhances production efficiency and equipment utilization rate.
Flexible Processing
This production line can be equipped with different flute types based on the production demands. And meeting the B flute, C flute, E flute, and other flute types to fit different cushioning and compression resistance applications. AGICO PAPER 3-ply corrugated board production line, with widths ranging from 1.4- 2.5 m, meeting different application requirements from lightweight e-commerce packaging to industrial lining. The corrugated board is made on a single-wall corrugated line. Its stiffness is moderate, making it easy for subsequent die-cutting, slitting, box gluing, and flexo printing.
Eco-Friendly & Recyclable
The 3-ply corrugation machine produces single-wall corrugated board consisting only of the linerboard, corrugating medium, and inner liner. Without using other plastic composite materials, this production is convenient for sorting and recycling, meeting the growing trend toward sustainable packaging.
Cost Efficiency
Compared with the 5-ply automatic corrugation plant and 7-ply corrugator line, the 3-ply corrugated line structure is simple; its raw material consumption is low, and the production process is short. Because of these advantages, it can effectively reduce equipment investment, energy consumption, and production costs.
Applications of 3 Ply Corrugated Box Making Machine
The 3-ply corrugation machine produces 3-ply corrugated cardboard sheets that can meet the demands of lightweight packaging to furniture packaging, because it has high flexibility and customization capabilities. By adjusting the production process and parameters, it can produce different flute types of corrugated board.
E-commerce Packaging
The single-wall corrugated board is made of a 3-ply corrugated line. This corrugated board is suitable for manufacturing e-commerce shipping boxes and turnover boxes. It can meet the demands for lightweight, high-strength logistics packaging.
Food Packaging
The demand for food corrugated packaging is strict, and this production line is suitable for producing boxes for food, beverages, fruits, vegetables, and fresh agricultural produce. It has good buffering and protective performance.
Furniture Packaging
Suitable for furniture, home appliances, and protective packaging applications. Their weight is not heavy, but they have sharp edges and can be easily damaged. 3-ply corrugated board uses optimized flute combinations to realize the balance between pressure resistance and buffering performance. These also take into account both the protective effect and the packaging cost.
