Two magazines. Fewer interruptions.

Our Multi-Format Case Erector is built with dual magazines so you can switch between case sizes, or run longer batches, without stopping the line.

Why it matters:
📦 Built for SKU chaos — perfect for high-mix, fast-moving e-commerce demands
⚙️ Two magazines = fewer changeovers, less downtime
⏱️ More autonomy, smoother flow, and throughput that stays where it belongs: up

If your operation is juggling SKU diversity, labor shortages, or seasonal spikes, this might be the quiet powerhouse your line has been missing.

How many SKUs is your case erector handling right now?

AMRs are transforming end-of-line operations. But too often, the coordination stops at the palletizer.

What happens next matters just as much.

Our own Ciaran Donnelly and KUKA Robotics' Andrew Jones co-authored a piece on how AMRs and stretch wrapping can work together as one integrated system: improving throughput, cutting film waste, and eliminating the bottlenecks that slow down even well-automated lines.

Worth the read if you're designing or specifying end-of-line automation.

From full production to a new case size in just under 2 minutes.

For engineers, operators, and operations managers, downtime is the enemy. That’s why our C300 and C400 Case Erectors are built for fast, intuitive changeovers that don’t require a toolbox or a headache.

With clearly labeled guides, minimal adjustments, and easy access controls, your team can move from one case size to another in less time than it takes to grab a coffee.

In this video, you’ll see an operator complete a real-world changeover in under 2 minutes. No cutting corners, no special tricks. Just smart design doing its job.

When you can trust your equipment to adapt quickly, you can keep your lines running, your schedules on track, and your productivity high.

When case erecting starts eating more labor hours than it should, that's usually the moment someone starts looking at automation.

A few signals it might be time to automate case erecting:
➡️ Manual erecting is your bottleneck upstream of a line that's otherwise fully automated
➡️ You're running multiple case sizes and changeover time is eating your day
➡️ Repetitive strain injuries or turnover on that station keep coming up

The right fit depends a lot on volume and floor space — sometimes it's a compact standalone erector, sometimes it's fully inline with the rest of the case packing process. That range is exactly why we build more than one option.

We'll have our case erecting lineup running live at PACK EXPO Chicago this October if you want to see the difference in person.

High-speed. High standards. Built to perform.

In our run-out bay, this Rotary Ring stretch wrapper is getting tested and fine-tuned for a customer who needs exceptional throughput and consistent load quality: the kind beverage operations can't compromise on.

We build some of the fastest, most advanced stretch wrappers in the world. But speed was never the whole story. We also offer semi-automatic and fully automated options, so customers can find the right fit for where they are today, and where they're headed next.

Automation should work for your operation. Not the other way around.

What's non-negotiable on your line: speed, uptime, or consistency? (Trick question. You need all three.)

Not every production line needs the fastest machine on the market.

Some need the right machine for the job — reliable, compact, easy to set up, and simple to run without a specialist on site every time something changes.

That's the problem the C1000 was built to solve.

The C1000 is Lantech's modular case erector, designed for lines that are ready to move away from manual erecting without the complexity or footprint of a high-speed system. It handles the fundamentals exceptionally well: consistent box formation, fast format changeover, and a straightforward operator interface that doesn't require extensive training.

What makes it the right fit for many manufacturers:

✅ It's compact. Floor space is expensive, and the C1000 is designed to fit into lines where space is limited — without sacrificing output quality.

✅ It's fast to change over. Switching between box formats is a common challenge for manufacturers running multiple SKUs. The C1000 reduces that time significantly compared to manual handling.
It's easy to maintain. Fewer moving parts means fewer points of failure and easier access when maintenance is needed. Downtime is short.

✅ It connects. The C1000 is LINC® compatible, which means remote monitoring and performance data are available from day one — even on an entry-level system.

If your line is currently handling case erecting manually and you're running between 200 and 600+ cases per hour, this is where the conversation usually starts.

What does your current hourly output look like?

Stretch wrappers for dayssss.

Rows of systems in run-out, each one getting put through its paces before it ships.

It's easy to focus on the machines. But it's the people behind them who make the difference: the ones who take pride in every adjustment, every test cycle, every detail.

That's the Lantech standard, and it doesn't change whether we're building one machine or twenty.

What's a detail on your line that most people never notice, but you'd never skip? Tell us below.

Size doesn't matter. 📦

On our assembly floor, we build case erectors configured to handle extra-large boxes, with zero compromise on reliability or uptime.

With predefined engineering configurations, we adapt our machines so even the biggest cases get set up right, every time.

Small, large, or somewhere in between: our case erectors are built for the full range.

What's the trickiest case size or format your line has had to handle?
