What does the Ortigia Manuale do?

The Ortigia Manuale is a manual taping machine that applies double-sided tape, tear tape or silicone tape to large corrugated cardboard. It is made for companies that produce smaller quantities, and it is also suited to cardboard with irregular shapes and sizes, e-commerce envelopes and corrugated mailers.

Is the Ortigia Manuale the same as the Ortigia MF?

Yes. The machine page is named Ortigia Manuale, while its videos and the application pages call it Ortigia MF. Both names mean this manual taping machine.

What sizes and board thicknesses can it process?

The Ortigia Manuale takes open formats from 40 × 50 cm up to 120 × 200 cm. It processes corrugated board of up to 1.6 mm in E flute, 3.2 mm in B flute, 4.3 mm in C flute and 7.2 mm in BC flute.

When should I choose the Ortigia Manuale instead of the Ortigia?
