Envelope Machines

Envelope maker machine | Tosca

The production of an envelope maker machine represented a fundamental aspect in the world of modern commerce. In fact, more and more companies need quality, resistant packaging and customized products. Therefore, we at Macari-Fidia Macchine Grafiche have intercepted this need many years ago.

We have built a perfect automatic machine for the production of envelope style bags. The Tosca envelope maker machine is the latest solution to join Macari-Fidia’s envelope machines line. The Tosca is the ideal solution for making special envelopes, e-commerce envelopes, big format envelopes, as well as:

  • Shopping envelopes
  • Packaging envelopes
  • Any folded and glued items
  • Insertion of cards
  • Brochures
  • Sample bags

The Tosca is a machine able of producing quality envelopes at high work rates, starting from a blank sheet already cut and creased. Tosca’s working process is simple once you have the right configuration. In fact, to build a machine able of carrying out all the necessary steps to produce resistant and quality envelopes, is the Macari-Fidia goal.

We can divide the Tosca envelope making machine’s work process into 9 basic steps:
  1. The machine is fed with blank sheets already cut and creased. In a word, the Tosca has been designed to work on sheets ready to be modeled, step by step.
  2. The next step, is the formation of the gussets (if required) through the metal folding ploughs.
  3. The machine applies one line of glue on top of each gussets, preparing them for the closure.
  4. Folding of the sheet takes place to form the main body of the envelope.
  5. At this point of the work process, our double sided tape applicator Speedy, one of our automatic tape applicators, mounted on the Tosca, starts operating. In detail, the Speedy applies a strip of double-sided tape on one side of the sheet.
  6. Through our inserter pick & place Talia, a cardboard reinforcement in the area of the handle will be applied.
  7. To ensure perfect resistance of the handle, the Tosca applies a line of hot glue in correspondence with the cardboard reinforcement.
  8. By folding the sheet, we will have the handles.
  9. After all, at the end of the work process, we will have the finished product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who makes the Tosca envelope maker machine?

Tosca is made by Macari-Fidia (Macari S.r.l.), based in Ciriè near Turin, Italy. The company was founded in 1990 and supplies customers in over 30 countries.

What can the Tosca envelope machine make?

Tosca makes special envelopes, e-commerce envelopes and large-format envelopes, as well as shopping envelopes, packaging envelopes and other folded and glued items. The machine page’s Possible Jobs gallery also shows presentation folders, CD and DVD cases, a flexible book cover, and envelopes for credit cards and hotel keys.

What blank and paper sizes can Tosca process?

Tosca’s maximum open format is 780 × 1380 mm. The Tosca feeder works with paper from 120 to 450 g, and the Rialto feeder from 70 to 120 g.

How fast is Tosca?

Tosca runs at up to 10,000 pieces per hour, depending on the format. Tape applicators fitted to the line have their own rated speeds (Speedy up to 200 pieces per minute, Speedy TT up to 100), so give Macari-Fidia your target output when you ask for a configuration.

Does Tosca cut and crease the sheets?

No. Tosca works from blanks that are already cut and creased. From them it forms the gussets when they are needed, applies glue, and folds the sheet into the finished envelope.

Can Tosca apply double-sided tape and tear tape?

Yes. A Speedy applicator mounted on Tosca applies a strip of double-sided tape, and a Speedy TT can apply tear tape. A returnable e-commerce envelope uses two Speedy units and one Speedy TT: see how Tosca makes it and the tape applicators for it.

Can Tosca insert cards, brochures or sample bags?

Yes. The machine page lists the insertion of cards, brochures and sample bags among Tosca’s jobs. It also shows the Talia inserter pick-and-place unit applying a cardboard reinforcement in the handle area.

Should I choose Tosca or Rialto?
