Core Machinery Benefit

One machine. One workflow. One pass.

The GENIECUT integrates seamlessly with your folder-gluer, eliminating the need for a separate windowing machine, operator, and workflow. The GENIECUT is ideal for packaging producers who want to add windowed boxes to their product offering and make short-run windowed packaging profitable.

GENIECUT - Windowing Simplified

Product Positioning

Familiar Technology. Smart Application.

Skilled operators of traditional standalone machines are increasingly hard to find, and training new ones is a long process. The GenieCut employs a user-friendly interface and leverages glue system technology already familiar to operators, so your current folder-gluer operator will feel right at home with very little training. With the GenieCut, your team will experience minimal downtime, allowing for more production hours and less time spent on messy clean-ups.

Limitless Possibilities

The GenieCut's digital glue gun application is controlled through IMPACK's intuitive automation app — giving operators the ability to program any glue pattern directly on the touchscreen. Any window shape your design team conceives, the GenieCut can produce. Standard rectangular windows, complex shapes, unusual formats — all handled through the same simple interface. For packaging producers, this means saying yes to more brand owner requests without adding complexity to the production floor.

How It Works

Integration on your Finishing Line

The GENIECUT sits on a mobile frame that straddles your folder-gluer, keeping its footprint compact and its integration clean. Glue manifolds are available in three sizes — matched to the window dimensions in your product mix. Your IMPACK application engineer will help you select the right configuration before you buy, so you invest only in what your production actually needs.
