The YCT-36 Automatic Plane Corner Labeling Machine addresses a specific packaging requirement: applying a label that wraps cleanly across two adjoining surfaces of a box corner to create a tamper-evident seal or split-surface decorative label. Unlike flat-surface labelers, the YCT-36 positions labels precisely across the corner fold line — bonding to both the top plane and the adjacent side face simultaneously. This is the standard in high-value consumer packaging, including card game boxes, electronics retail cartons, and premium cosmetic gift boxes.
Built by Dongguan Yucheng Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. (YCTAUTO), the YCT-36 uses an automatic belt-conveyor system that feeds boxes through a specialized corner labeling station. Sensors detect each box and trigger the label dispenser at the precise moment to land the label correctly across the corner, enabling 40–65 pieces per minute at ±1 mm accuracy — far tighter than hand-application at production speed.
The machine also supports upper-plane and side-corner labeling modes, selectable via the PLC control interface without disassembly. For inline date coding or batch marking, the YCT-36 accepts an optional ribbon coding machine and an optional inkjet printer, both mounting directly to the frame.
Precision Corner Label Placement — The specialized labeling head applies labels across both planes of a box corner simultaneously at ±1 mm accuracy — essential for tamper-evident applications where label integrity must be visually obvious.
40–65 pcs/min Throughput — Fully automatic box feeding and labeling delivers consistent output without per-piece operator handling, suitable for medium-to-high-volume production runs in electronics, cosmetics, and card game packaging.
Multi-Mode Labeling — Handles corner labeling, upper-plane labeling, and side-corner labeling within a single machine platform, reducing equipment investment.
Wide Box Size Range — Accepts boxes from L: 20–300 mm × W: 20–200 mm × H: 10–100 mm (customizable), covering the majority of consumer product packaging formats encountered in cosmetics, electronics, and gaming categories.
Flexible Label Dimensions — Compatible with labels from 10–250 mm in length and 5–120 mm in width on standard Φ76 mm core rolls up to Φ300 mm outer diameter.
Optional Ribbon Coding Machine — Integrates a hot-stamp coder to print manufacture dates, expiry dates, and lot numbers onto labels during the labeling pass, eliminating a separate coding step.
Optional Inkjet Printer — A compatible inkjet head mounts to the frame for non-contact inline marking: sequential numbers, QR codes, and variable text.
PLC-Controlled Operation — The intuitive programmable logic controller stores product parameters so operators can recall saved configurations when switching between box formats, minimizing changeover time.

The YCT-36 automatic plane corner labeling machine is used wherever boxes require tamper-evident corner seals or dual-surface label placement:
Card & Board Games — Poker sets, playing card boxes, board game packaging requiring corner seal labels to indicate factory-sealed product condition
Consumer Electronics — Retail boxes for mobile accessories, electronic components, wearables, and gadget packaging requiring tamper-evident seal labels
Cosmetics & Skincare — Premium cosmetic gift boxes, skincare product sets, and perfume packaging where corner labeling serves both security and aesthetic functions
Pharmaceutical Packaging — Medicine boxes and OTC product cartons requiring tamper-evident corner labels to comply with distribution and retail requirements
Food & Confectionery — Boxed chocolate sets, premium food gift boxes, tea packaging where corner seal integrity confirms product condition
General Consumer Goods — Any retail-ready box packaging where visible, machine-applied corner seals confirm product authenticity and intact condition
Corner Labeling Specialization — Yucheng's range includes both the YCT-36 (single-head plane corner) and the YCT-37 (double-head corner labeler), reflecting deep engineering focus on this specialized packaging requirement rather than a generic flat-labeler adaptation.
Strict Factory Quality Standards — Each YCT-36 is assembled and tested at our Dongguan facility, with corner-placement accuracy verified across multiple box formats before shipment.
OEM & ODM Flexibility — We configure the YCT-36 to match your specific box dimensions, conveyor height, and label specifications. Custom holddown guides and adjustable lane widths are available for non-standard box formats.
Complete Packaging Line Support — Yucheng offers filling systems and downstream sealing equipment. The YCT-36 integrates with upstream and downstream machinery for a fully automated packaging line.
Reliable After-Sales Service — Our global technical support team provides remote video guidance, detailed spare-parts documentation, and fast parts dispatch, ensuring your line stays productive after installation.
Q: What makes corner labeling different from standard flat labeling, and how does the YCT-36 manage this?
A: Corner labeling requires the label to bridge two perpendicular surfaces simultaneously. The YCT-36 uses a purpose-designed labeling head that controls label dispensing speed and angle so the label crosses the corner fold cleanly without lifting or creasing on either face.
Q: Can the YCT-36 apply labels to both corners of a box in one pass?
A: The standard YCT-36 is a single-head machine. For dual-corner labeling in one pass, we recommend the YCT-37 double-head model. Contact us to determine which suits your throughput requirements.
Q: What label materials work with the YCT-36?
A: The YCT-36 is compatible with self-adhesive labels on paper, PE, PP, PET, and foil substrates. For holographic or transparent tamper-evident labels, please indicate the material when inquiring so we can confirm sensor compatibility.
Q: What is the MOQ?
A: MOQ is 1 unit. We accept single-unit and multi-unit orders. Contact our sales team for volume pricing.
Q: How long does changeover take when switching between box sizes?
A: Changeover typically takes 10–20 minutes. Operators adjust the lane guide width and recall saved PLC parameters — no tooling changes are required for boxes within the standard size range.
Q: Does the machine support transparent tamper-evident labels?
A: Yes, with the appropriate transparent label detection sensor. Please specify your label type at inquiry stage so we can ensure the correct sensor is fitted before shipment.
Q: I need corner sealing plus date coding on the same line — is that possible?
A: Yes. The optional ribbon coder prints date codes and lot numbers onto labels during the labeling pass. The optional inkjet module handles more complex variable data. Both mount directly on the YCT-36 frame.
Whether you are sealing card game boxes, cosmetic gift sets, or electronics retail packaging, the YCT-36 delivers reliable high-speed corner label application. Share your box dimensions, label type, and target throughput for a precise recommendation and competitive quotation.
