Quick Summary & Key Takeaways
- Semi-auto sealers handle one carton size at a time and need an operator to set the height. They're a great entry point for lines doing under 5 cartons/min.
- Auto sealers with random-size detection can handle mixed cartons up to 20+ cartons/min — ideal for e-commerce fulfilment centres.

If you ship a single SKU at high volume, a fixed-size auto sealer is mechanically simpler, faster and cheaper than a random-size machine.
