Product Overview
Do More In The Same Machine
The variable roll cage replaces the standard roll cage on a compression folding system (CF1396) to provide more variability in packaging sizes within the same machine. This roll cage expands an additional eight inches and is an ideal addition for manufacturers that package many different SKUs with different packaging for each.
