Smurfit Westrock
Precision case forming automation

Engineered for flexibility and performance
Meta® 150
With Smurfit Westrock’s specialized mandrel-forming technology, die-cut blanks are precisely formed into cases around a fixed mandrel, minimizing case-skew and maximizing structural integrity.

This precision enables better box performance on your production line and through your distribution system.


Minimize case-skew, maximize structural integrity
Optimize storage footprint and transportation costs
Easily adapt to changing capacity needs
Key Features and Benefits
  • Flexible: All models have the capability to run four, five, six, seven or eight-sided cases. 
  • Efficient: With quick changeovers between formats and sizes, uptime can be optimized as well as overall equipment efficiency.
  • Responsible: Precision mandrel-forming can improve box compression (BCT) compared to current structures (up to 40% vs. RSC) and can optimize material usage.
