How are wine trays made?
Paper wine trays are made using a process similar to egg trays. They can be produced with egg tray machines. To meet large-scale production needs, specialized wine tray making machine were developed. These machines improve on traditional egg tray equipment by optimizing the structure and molds, and can efficiently complete pulp molding, forming, and demolding. They are key for automated, mass production.
