PL 300

PL 300 2-Piece Paper Lid Machine

The PL 300 builds a paperboard lid from a flat disk and a side-wall ring, then finishes the edge in push-incurl, crimp and finishing stations for a crimped, flat or rounded look. Each station has its own Bosch servo motor, and the machine can be blank-fed or roll-fed with offset or flexo printed board. It can also form a snap-and-lock bead inside the lid so it holds firmly on the matching container and stacks well.

Where it fits

The PL 300 suits a converter that needs matching paperboard lids for cups or containers up to 48 oz, pairing naturally with a cup former such as the PMC 1003 already in a plant, or serving a lid-only line supplying multiple cup makers. Speed of 110 to 170 lids per minute and the ability to run blank-fed or roll-fed printed board give flexibility on how stock is sourced. The optional snap-and-lock bead matters for a converter selling lids that must hold firmly and stack well in transit. A shop needing only flat, non-locking lids should confirm that feature as an option rather than assuming it is standard.

Confirm before you order

  • Confirm current round and non-round lid diameter ranges with PMC, since the web page and July 2025 brochure disagree
  • Check the 130 kVA electrical figure directly with PMC, since it looks high relative to similar equipment
  • Verify ring and disk stock thickness (0.015 to 0.025 in) matches the board the shop plans to run
