Our folder gluers
Complementary end-of-line machines
Every box has its solution
Small, large or medium; solid or corrugated board; low or high grammage; for transport, e-commerce or the food sector; standard or special shape: Vega’s machines pack the box you need. Our Boxes Book collects the achievable box types — from crash lock bottom cartons to 4 and 6 corner boxes — and is free to download.
Tailors of folder gluers
We call ourselves “tailors” of folder gluers: every machine is designed, built and assembled at our plant in Paderno Dugnano (Milan) and customised to the customer’s needs. We are a “Made in Italy” company in the fullest sense: technical office, production and service under one roof, and a team that puts its name behind every project.

Frequently asked questions
What does a folder gluer machine do?
What’s the difference between folder gluers for solid board and corrugated board?
Solid board (used for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food cartons) is thin and requires precise movements and gentle pressure, since the material is easily damaged; dedicated machines like Bellatrix and Aquila are designed for this kind of fine control. Corrugated board (used for shipping boxes, e-commerce, American-style boxes) is thicker and sturdier, requiring more powerful machines able to handle higher pressures and multi-layer materials — this is Altair’s territory. Some models, like Altair itself, can process both materials within certain grammage limits, so the choice also depends on your company’s production mix, not just the prevailing material.
Are Vega’s machines customisable?
Yes, and it’s one of the defining traits of how we work: we don’t sell standard, off-the-catalogue machines — we always start from the box samples the customer sends us to assess technical feasibility and propose the most suitable configuration: dimensions, optional modules, special devices (such as Braille embossing or in-line quality control). This approach takes a few extra days at the quotation stage compared to picking an already-configured machine, but it ensures the machine truly meets real production needs rather than a generic case. To start this process, the fastest way is to send us a sample of the box you want to produce through the contact form.
