Conveyor Belts for the Corrugated & Printing Industry
The corrugated, printing, and paper converting industry depends on precision belting to grip, transport, fold, and glue paper and board at high speeds without marking, scuffing, or misaligning the product. From folder gluer machines that turn flat blanks into finished boxes, to high-speed web presses and paper converting lines, the right belt is critical to product quality and production speed.
Texas Belting stocks a comprehensive range of folder gluer belts, machine tape, power transmission belts, and specialty paper handling belts. We cross-reference for all major machine manufacturers — Bobst, Heidelberg, Brausse, TCY, Vega, and more. Call us with your machine make and model, and we'll identify the correct belts.
Corrugated & Printing Applications
We supply belting for every stage of corrugated box making, commercial printing, paper converting, and packaging operations.
Folder Gluer Machines
Belts grip and transport flat blanks through folding and gluing stations at high speed. They must provide consistent grip without marking the board, and maintain precise alignment through each fold. Adhesive-free splice designs enable fast installation.
Recommended: FG-Series, Nitta XH-500/XH-8E, XVT-Series
Corrugated Box Making
Complete corrugated production lines from fluting and laminating to slitting, scoring, printing, and die cutting. Each station requires belts with specific grip, speed, and surface characteristics.
Recommended: Machine tape, FG-Series, power transmission belts
Commercial & Digital Printing
Feed, delivery, and stacking conveyors on offset, digital, and flexographic presses. Belts must handle paper and board without ink smearing, marking, or static buildup that attracts dust and debris.
Recommended: SG-250 high speed print belt, anti-static machine tape
Paper Converting & Finishing
Sheeting, laminating, embossing, die cutting, and rewinding operations that transform raw paper into finished products. Precision belt tracking and consistent tension are critical at converting speeds.
Recommended: Machine tape, 2-ply/3-ply nylon core belts
Power Transmission & Drive Systems
Flat drive belts powering rollers, pulleys, and drive systems on converting and printing equipment. PT and S-Series belts are interchangeable and available in multiple widths and thicknesses.
Recommended: PT-10/15, PT-18/20, PT-18/30, S-1, S-2, S-3
Yarn Processing & Textile Winding
Flat power transmission belts for yarn winding, textile processing, and similar light-duty drive applications. These belts deliver consistent speed and reliable tracking on small-diameter pulleys.
Recommended: Habasit A-2, Panther 400, PT-Series
What to Look for in Paper & Corrugated Belts
Paper handling requires precision that heavier industries don't. These properties determine product quality, production speed, and changeover time.
Controlled Grip
Folder gluer belts must grip board firmly enough to transport it through folding stations without slipping, but gently enough to avoid marking, scuffing, or crushing the corrugated flute structure.
Adhesive-Free Splice
Mechanical splice designs eliminate glue joints that can fail at speed. FG-Series, XH-8E, and XVT belts feature adhesive-free splicing for faster installation and more reliable belt joints.
Anti-Static
Paper and board are highly susceptible to static charge. Static causes sheets to stick together, attract dust, and misalign during printing. Anti-static belts prevent charge buildup on the product surface.
High-Speed Capability
Modern folder gluers and printing presses run at very high speeds. Belts must maintain consistent grip and tracking at speed without vibration, flutter, or edge wander.
Abrasion Resistance
Paper dust, corrugated particles, and continuous board contact wear belt surfaces. Abrasion-resistant cover compounds extend belt life and maintain consistent grip throughout the belt's service.
Thickness Options
Different board weights require different belt thicknesses. Light cartons need 3mm belts, standard corrugated uses 4mm, and heavy board or multi-wall requires 5–6mm belts for proper folding pressure.
