Corrugated Box Making Machinery

Corrugated Box Making Machinery
There are a handful of companies that manufacturer corrugated box making machinery for the end user. Most of these companies established their roots in Europe and have since come to the United States to market their technology to a host of industries that need variable box sizes. The box cutting machines on the market vary in technology, innovation, complexity, ease of use and size. Computer software has made it possible to pre-program and design a multitude of packaging designs and styles upload them into the box making machines and have an infinite number of sizes at your fingertips. For many companies and industries making your own boxes is a radical idea that requires some dedication to understanding the immediate benefits of on demand packaging. But for those companies burdened with managing corrugated inventories and the other non-value added details of purchasing shipping boxes, it becomes apparent immediately that savings and corrugated supply chain inefficiencies can be streamlined overnight. In short, companies using this CNC machine technology to make their own boxes,  reduce every package to fit their products exactly, alleviate shipping air, free up space for productivity, and take advantage of several other lean packaging initiatives.

Fan Fold

Fan fold is an ideal solution for products of unusual lengths and shapes, and it affords manufacturers of multi-sized products a unique alternative to multiple container sizes and usage. Fan fold can be cut by hand to specific sizes, custom ordered in specific sizes and dimensions for ease in applying a wrap style package. It is also produced and used as a raw corrugated solution for CNC box making and converting machines that offer extreme flexibility in on demand packaging and corrugated focused factories.

Corrugated Focused Factory, On Demand Packaging & Boxes

Many companies who have hundreds and even thousands of product sizes find it a challenge to come up with a package that will fit each product size exactly. Generally speaking products sizes change frequently and stocking a carton for each sku is generally not cost effective. The solution has been to work with a limited number of box sizes that will fit all the products even though the box is oversize. This allows the corrugated supply chain manager to manage a handful of box skus without carrying box sizes to fit every product. The downside is shipping rates increase because of dimensional weights and billing weights opposed to actual weights because the  oversize carton jumps up into the next rate bracket. To address this challenge many companies are turning to making their own boxes on box making machinery and equipment. This enables a company to lean out their corrugated supply chain and simplify corrugated inventory by only having to purchase 3 or 4 corrugated skus.
Corrugated fanfold is a continuous sheet of corrugated material that comes in 1000 foot bales. Three or four fanfold bales are stacked behind a CNC box making machine which enables a company to manually make a carton from the control panel or program the machine to sequence production of boxes in many different styles and sizes. Not only does the box making machinery provide incredible packaging flexibility, it also decreases box inventory and boxes from becoming obsolete. Space that once was used for storage now becomes opportune for increased production and other effective uses other than storage and inventory.
There are a number of machines that make boxes on the market but the Packsize EM7 box making machine trumps them all and is the most innovative on demand corrugated system to date. This CNC box making machine can produce many different styles of corrugated and sizes are infinite. Production capability is up to 8,000 boxes per 8 hour shift and the EM7 can reposition the corrugated in the machine in a reverse and forward motion, thus making boxes to the exact tolerance and size.

Fanfold Corrugated Packaging Material

Corrugated Fanfold can be manufactured in a variety of widths, liner-board weights and strengths. It has a distinct advantage over finished converted boxes, because it provides a custom solution that allows a packaging department to pull the continuous sheet of corrugated to length and cut to exact sizes. This increases corrugated yield and reduces box inventory on the shelf. Corrugated fanfold may not be optimal for every application but purchasing fanfold in average and nominal  widths for multiple carton sizes gives a company the flexibility to simplify their corrugated supply chain. Fanfold can be coated with many different types of coatings to meet certain specifications and applications. For instance the construction trade and metal building industry uses corrugated fanfold to ship extruded trim pieces that may present a challenge using custom corrugated boxes. Every building is custom to size and design which requires specific size components, to make or design a carton to ship these trim pieces in would be cost prohibitive. Fanfold allows the manufacturer to package and ship their various size materials to the job site in a secure water resistant package. The coatings for corrugated sheets, boxes and fanfold have been engineered specifically for moisture resistance, moisture vapor transmission, conductivity, anti-static, anti corrosion, anti skid and many other environmental applications. These coatings are generally applied inline on the corrugator by roll-coating or a blade coating type application. Corrugated Fanfold is also used with CNC box making equipment to convert boxes on demand and in sequence with production. To learn more visit: http://www.cardboardboxes4u.com/corrugated-fanfold/
