At Bramidan, we design and manufacture cardboard balers that combine high performance with long-lasting durability. A cardboard baler is a baler developed specifically for cardboard, and it can compress waste by up to 90%, making cardboard boxes and other recyclable materials into manageable, transport-ready bales. This means less handling, lower costs, and greater efficiency.

For over 50 years, we have been supporting businesses of all sizes – from local shops to large production facilities – in optimizing their waste management. Regardless of your waste volume, we have the right cardboard baler for your needs.

Each cardboard baler is designed with user-friendliness, quiet operation, and safety in mind – ensuring tight, uniform bales that are easy to move and recycle.

How to use a cardboard baler

Cardboard loading: Remove non-cardboard materials before loading the machine. Whole cardboard boxes are recommended, it saves time and produces bales with higher compaction.
Compaction: The machine compresses the cardboard into compact bales and reduces the volume by up to 90%.
Ejection and storage: Once the cardboard waste is compacted and the volume reduced, it is ejected into a solid and manageable cardboard bale. These are easy to stack and store until they are collected.

FAQ: Most common questions & answers

How much does a cardboard baler cost?

The price of a cardboard baler depends on the model, size, and features. You can choose between purchasing and flexible rental agreements. Contact us for advice and a no-obligation quote tailored to your business.

How do you use a cardboard baler?

A cardboard baler is used to compress cardboard waste into a compact bale. You load cardboard into the machine, activate the press function, and repeat the process until the bale is ready. When the machine is full, the bale is tied and removed. Our cardboard balers are easy to operate and come with a user manual and safety instructions.

Which cardboard baler is best?

The best cardboard baler is the one that matches your company’s needs. Smaller businesses often need a compact and user-friendly solution, while larger companies benefit from a more powerful baler with higher capacity. It’s all about choosing a machine that suits the volume and type of cardboard waste you produce. We’re ready to help you find the optimal solution for your waste handling.

How often should a cardboard baler be serviced?

We recommend an annual service to ensure reliable performance and extend the lifespan of the machine. With a service contract, you’re fully covered without additional concerns.

What is a cardboard baler?

A cardboard baler is a machine that compacts cardboard waste into dense bales, making them easy to handle and recycle. It is commonly used in shops, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities.

What size cardboard baler do I need?

The size you need depends on how much cardboard waste you generate daily. If you have around 5–10 boxes a day, a compact vertical baler is usually adequate. For higher volumes – like full pallets or ongoing cardboard waste – a larger model with greater press capacity is recommended. For very large amounts, a horizontal baler or a compactor may be the most efficient solution.

Can I use the same machine for cardboard and plastic?

Yes, you can easily use the same machine for both cardboard and plastic, but not at the same time. We recommend that you sort your waste and make separate bales. Use recycling racks to sort and collect soft plastic waste while you compact cardboard. When you have collected enough bags of plastic, compact a bale.

Can I put folded and broken down cardboard boxes in the baler?

You can, but your work flow will be more efficient if put whole boxes into the baler. This way you optimize your own time and you get a higher density bale.
