The RKV-12C is the medium-carton model among RADPAK's continuous-motion vertical cartoners. Cartons 100–200 mm wide and 130–300 mm long are erected upright, loaded from the top and closed automatically, at up to 70 cartons a minute. Top loading suits products that are easier to drop or place into a carton than to push in from the side, such as bags, pouches, stacked items and loose goods. Continuous motion is what sets it apart from its intermittent twin, the RKV-12S, which handles the same carton sizes at up to 30 a minute. For bigger cartons, up to 300 × 360 mm, the RKV-16C runs at up to 5
