WH Leary Co-Sponsors SPA 110th Conference

Shaun Baker, Sales Manager, W. H. Leary Limited, will introduce PerfectFold, a revolutionary solution for precise and fast folding of corrugated board.

W. H. Leary Limited, a company best known for Glue Application and Quality Assurance Solutions in the packaging industry, are a proud sponsor of SPA 110th Conference, which is taking place on Monday 3rd February 2025.

In line with the theme of the conference “What Comes Next”, Shaun will deliver a short presentation which looks at the growing requirement for higher accuracy and consistency in corrugated box manufacture, driven by the need for tighter specifications and the increasing trend for automatic case erection.

PerfectFold – a solution that is provided by W. H. Leary Limited’s partner company Robatech – is proven to increase accuracy and consistency of box manufacture, control gap and fishtailing, and enable higher manufacturing speeds.

The PerfectFold liquid creaser enables precise and fast folding of corrugated board without fold breakage thanks to contactless application of SpeedUp creaser liquid. The softened fold lines ensure high process stability. Depending on the thickness and size of the corrugated board, the process speed can be significantly increased by this patented solution. PerfectFold is easy to install in folding box gluers and inliners and is easy to operate.

The PerfectFold liquid creaser applies creaser liquid to two fold lines without contact. The corrugated board is folded along these lines. Since the creaser liquid reduces the stiffness of the corrugated board, the folding lines can be folded precisely and with little effort. Restoring forces are minimized. Folding box machines or inliners can thus be operated at high production speeds and with less setup effort for folding tools. Fold breakage is avoided, gapping and fishtailing remain under control.
