T520 · Pharma Packaging Series
Compare the T520 general printing machine →The T520 Pharma Packaging Series is a CE-certified automatic buckle folding machine purpose-built exclusively for pharmaceutical leaflets and medical package inserts . Engineered to meet the stringent quality standards of pharmaceutical packaging, it delivers precision fold registration and sharp, uniform creases for reliable, high-volume pharma-grade folding production.
Its modular folding stations support customizable buckle plate configurations to accommodate a wide range of folding patterns including gate fold, accordion fold, cross fold and statement fold. A high-performance 3-hole suction feeder ensures stable sheet feeding and accurate positioning across 35–200gsm paper stocks, while heavy-duty helical-groove polyurethane folding rollers maximize paper contact for anti-slip, wrinkle-free and long-wearing operation.
The machine is controlled by a PLC system with variable frequency stepless speed regulation, paired with automatic dual pile height adjustment to enable uninterrupted feeding and reduce manual intervention. A high-sensitivity double-sheet and paper jam auto-stop system delivers full process protection; optional CCD vision inspection is available for pharmaceutical configuration to enforce strict quality compliance.
With a belt drive structure for low noise and vibration, the T520 is fully inline compatible with flattening presses, cutters, stackers and other post-press equipment. It also supports optional scoring, perforating and slitting functions, plus specialized pharmaceutical line options including water spray dampening, waste rejection, glue dot sealing and label sealing, to build a complete, customized leaflet folding production line.
Capable of processing sheets from 60×100mm up to 520×1000mm at speeds up to 180m/min, this machine balances high productivity, precision and flexibility for dedicated pharmaceutical packaging operations.

Solution · Pharmaceutical leaflets Pharmaceutical Leaflet Folding Machines A patient information leaflet is the hardest folding job in print. The sheet is small — often 60 × 100 mm unfolded in the miniature end of the range — the paper is thin, the fold has to be square enough to feed a cartoning line, and the fold line must not crack the ink or the fibre. Get any of those Solution · Outsert systems Pharmaceutical Outsert Folding Systems An outsert is a leaflet folded deep enough — typically eight, twelve or sixteen panels — that it becomes a small booklet in its own right, usually wrapped around or packed with the primary container. The engineering problem is that every additional panel multiplies the error of the panels before it, Seven checks that turn a job list into a machine specification and a sample-test brief.
Compare the complete quotation, prepare the site and agree how the machine will be accepted.
Compare how the folds are formed and choose the station arrangement around the finished job.
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.
T520/12+4 buckle Pharmaceutical inline buckle folding machine for seamless cartoning line integration. 180m/min high-speed operation, precision fold registration, and 35–200gsm stock compatibility, ideal for PILs, patient package inserts and regulatory pharmaceutical literature.
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.
