01
A fixed sealer is set by hand for one box size. An adaptive sealer senses each box and moves its belts and tape head itself.
Side belts grip the box walls. Light, soft or tall boxes can need top and bottom belts.
Top flaps folded by an operator, or by the machine.
Tape width, knife guarding, and how easy the heads are to buy again.
02
Many sealers put the largest box in the model number. On an FXJ-5050, one listing stated a largest box 500 mm wide and 500 mm high. Measure your largest box first.

| Seal your smallest and largest filled boxes. | Tape centred and pressed, even legs on both sides, no flap caught. |
| Feed mixed sizes in random order on an adaptive sealer. | Every box sealed with no hand adjustment. |
| Seal an underfilled box. | The top does not collapse and the tape holds. |

We name the kind of source, how many and when, and never the factory. Listed prices are asking prices, not landed cost. Where we do not hold a fact we say so: that is a GAP, not an estimate.
