Set up machine for basic carton folding and gluing

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set up and adjust a machine for basic carton folding and gluing to ensure the finished product is in accordance with specifications and requirements.

It applies to individuals who work under direct supervision but have limited responsibility with preparing materials, equipment and machinery to ensure the production process is maintained.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

4.3 Slitters are monitored and adjusted according to job specifications

4.4 Sample is visually inspected and/or tested for accuracy of folds, fibre tear, opening force, fluff and glue placement according to enterprise procedures

5. Readjust settings

5.1 Results are interpreted to determine adjustment requirements

5.2 Adjustments are carried out according to product and machine specifications

Evidence of the ability to:

correctly set up a machine, on at least FOUR occasions, for basic straight line folding and gluing of cartons with different weights and sizes of carton board according to manufacturer’s and job specifications and enterprise procedures.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

explain information concerning folding requirements found in the job documentation or production control system

explain work health and safety factors for:

setting up folder transportation and delivery systems

setting up and/or adjusting the folding unit

adjusting the inkjet printer

working with hot melt adhesives

describe areas of the sheet-fed transportation system to monitor to ensure trouble-free operation

identify areas of the delivery system to observe to prevent damage to the finished product

describe ways that folded sheets can be secured for dispatch

explain causes of scratching/scuffing of substrate during transportation

describe what determines speed of the machine

give a detailed account of problems to expect if the machine is running too fast

demonstrate how roller pressures can be checked for correctness

explain adjustments to make if the sheet is out-of-square

provide possible reasons for the sheet being out-of-square

describe what adjustments to make to ensure sheets are not smudging/scuffing

recommend adjustments to make if the sheet does not leave the folding unit

list steps to ensure correct alignment of the inkjet printer

explain adjustments to make to keep units correctly positioned

explain what determines the correct binding technique for a job

describe methods of adhesive metering present on the machine

explain why it is important to take care to ensure a neat and clean adhesive binding job

identify segments of quality assurance to inspect at the completion of the sample run

recommend communication actions to take if the job is out-of-square, if the ink is too wet for production, or if the job does not conform to quality assurance checks

identify machine manuals and safety documentation relevant to this task, where they are kept, and the information included in them.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the converting, binding and finishing field of work and include access to and use of special purpose tools, materials and equipment including a Royal 40, a Bobst Media, or a Bobst Domino machine.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
