Pharmaceutical dual-station inline folding system with integrated sound enclosure, 8 buckle plates in the first station and 4 in the second, 20mm minimum fold width. for blister pack inserts and carton leaflets, ideal for blister cartoning lines and pharmaceutical packaging facilities.
The 8+4 Buckle Blister Pack Insert Folding Machine is a pharmaceutical dual-station buckle folding system purpose-engineered for seamless integration with blister cartoning lines in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities and contract packaging organizations (CPOs). It delivers reliable, precision folding performance for unit-dose blister pack inserts and carton box leaflets in regulated pharma production environments.
Equipped with 8 precision buckle plates in the first folding station and 4 buckle plates in the second station, it supports a comprehensive range of standard fold patterns including half fold, tri fold, accordion fold, double parallel fold, cross fold and gate fold. This dual-station configuration is optimized for compact, multi-panel blister pack inserts that require tight dimensional control to fit inside push-through blister packs (PTP) and oral dosage cartons, with a minimum fold width of just 20mm for miniature insert formats.
The machine features an integrated sound enclosure that effectively reduces operational noise levels, helping production facilities meet GMP workplace safety and occupational hearing protection standards. The acoustic enclosure also minimizes dust ingress into the folding mechanism, maintaining clean production conditions required for pharmaceutical packaging workshops and reducing routine maintenance frequency.
It processes paper stocks ranging from 35 to 200gsm, with a maximum sheet size of 520×1000mm and a maximum paper pile height of 550mm for uninterrupted batch production. Operating at speeds of up to 180m/min, it delivers consistent fold registration accuracy and sharp, uniform creases for production-grade output quality. Optional double sheet detection and waste rejection systems are available to uphold strict pharmaceutical quality control standards and minimize production waste.
Designed for full inline production workflows, the machine is fully compatible with downstream finishing equipment including pressing units, parallel knife folders, vertical stackers and blister cartoning systems. This modular design enables seamless integration into existing packaging lines, eliminating manual handling and matching the cycle speed of automated blister packaging lines to meet GMP-aligned production standards.
CE certified for safety and built to pharmaceutical-grade production standards, this blister pack insert folder features a robust industrial frame and wear-resistant folding components for minimal routine maintenance and reliable long-term operation in 24/7 production environments. It is fully optimized for high-volume production of blister pack leaflets, carton box inserts, oral dosage instructions and small-format patient information leaflets across the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors.

T520 Pharma Leaflet T520 pharmaceutical leaflet folding configuration for medicine instruction sheets and package inserts, with standard and waste-rejection feeding limits and optional inline packaging modules.
T520/10+4 buckle Pharmaceutical inline buckle folding system with 10 buckles in the first station and 4 in the second, 180m/min high-speed operation, precision fold registration, and 35–200gsm stock compatibility, ideal for patient package inserts, carton inserts and pharmaceutical outserts.
T520/8+6 buckle Pharma industrial buckle folding system with integrated waste rejection, 180m/min high-speed operation, 20mm minimum fold width. for medical instructions, pharma inserts, patient leaflets and carton inserts, ideal for pharmaceutical packaging facilities and medical printing houses.
Folded to carton-insert size from 40–120 gsm pharma paper; the highest-volume pharmaceutical folding job.
Patient information leaflets must fit the carton while retaining readable multi-panel copy. Miniature sheet handling, repeatable fold position and counted delivery are the main production checks.
The T490 and T520 cover leaflet folding. Confirm the pattern on the actual stock, then specify any required knife, pressing, sealing and delivery modules against the finished sample and packaging process.
Deep-folded leaflets of 8, 12 or 16 panels that behave like a booklet and must lie flat for packing.
An outsert folds a larger information sheet into a compact, multi-panel piece for a carton. The finished stack must lie flat and feed consistently into packing equipment.
The folding platform and plate arrangement depend on the panel count and sheet. Review any knife operation and SD-XP300 pressing against the finished sample; sealing and delivery are specified with the required line configuration.
Leaflets and promotional inserts folded to carton size, packed by automatic equipment.
Carton inserts and promotional leaflets are folded to a finished size that downstream equipment can pick up consistently. Square edges and flat stacks may be needed for automatic packing.
Select the folding platform around the carton insert and printed stock. Review any knife or pressing step separately and confirm module envelopes and interfaces for the ordered line.
