We offer an economical yet robust line of tray and carton formers to tackle any chipboard or corrugated forming application.

Pairing these machines with our carton closers in glue, tuck or tri-seal configurations provide a full end of line packaging solution.

Switchback has grown by tackling challenging projects, making us an industry leader in some growing areas of packaging.  We’ve led the way in the craft brewing industry to transition into packaging aluminum cans in chipboard cartons.  We have machines designed specifically to the needs of craft brewers, for small footprint and flexible pack pattern capability.  This has led to hundreds of machines being placed in the craft beer, wine and spirits market.
