A vacuum-transfer fully automatic servo flexo printer folder gluer is a complete inline box line: it prints, slots, die-cuts, folds and glues corrugated blanks in a single pass, with no manual handling between stages. On the BMC NDVT line, eight servo axes coordinate every unit, print precision reaches about ±0.1 mm — the tightest in the BMC flexo range — and design speed runs up to 400 pcs/min. It's built for plants that want finished, glued boxes straight off one machine.
What it does
Instead of moving printed blanks between separate printer, die-cutter and folder-gluer machines, this line runs them inline. A ceramic vacuum-transfer wheel carries each sheet through the print units under servo phase control, then the blank passes straight into slotting, die-cutting, folding and gluing. Fewer touchpoints means fewer chances for misalignment and damage — and a finished box at the end.

Why vacuum transfer improves accuracy
The ceramic vacuum-transfer wheel holds each sheet positively as it moves through the print section, so registration doesn't drift the way it can with friction feeding. Combined with servo phase control on every unit, that's how the line reaches print precision of about ±0.1 mm and fold-gluing precision of ±1.5 mm at full working speed. The creasing-slotting unit is engineered to prevent crease-line bursts — a common cause of misaligned folds — so boxes arrive at the gluing stage with clean, consistent creases.
Who it suits
This line is for high-volume box plants that want the highest print accuracy and a finished, glued box from one integrated machine — branded retail packaging, e-commerce boxes and export cartons where print quality and consistency matter. If your work is mostly simple shippers or lower volume, a standard flexo slotter die-cutter with a separate folder gluer may fit better; our 3-ply vs 5-ply flexo guide helps weigh that, and you can compare options across the flexo printer range.
Summary
The vacuum-transfer servo flexo printer folder gluer prints to glued box in one pass, with eight servo axes and about ±0.1 mm print precision. It suits high-volume plants prioritising accuracy and inline finishing. Send our engineers your box sizes and volumes and we'll confirm the right NDVT configuration.
