Shaped cardboard packaging new technology

A carton company in Germany invented a new method that can produce small and complex packages at a small cost.

Aliasing involves a computer-controlled cutting plotter approach that uses a computer numerically controlled machine CNC system to cut contours from corrugated cardboard up to 140 mm thick. The machine is fully automated and the staff only needs to load the machine and remove the finished product. The company that succeeded in producing small packages with this professional manufacturing method introduced: “This method offers the advantage of being able to cut corrugated board up to 140mm in thickness, while cutting with our platform can only cut 9mm cardboard. Then glue the layers of corrugated cardboard together."

The inventor of the new method explained the difference in this package: "For example, the cushion packing for pump production is only profiled with a material thickness of 80 mm to 100 mm, and a thickness of 30 mm at the bottom. We cut the profile and we will It is bonded to the bottom. In contrast, the profile must be cut multiple times during die cutting and the 6mm or 7mm layers stick together. The same packaging takes 15 times more energy."

The cushion cushion achieves good protection and cushioning, even if the small number of packaging is also profitable. Individually reinforced on the packaging, it is important to use a variety of methods that do not produce die cutting die. The problem of die-cutting is the cost of the mold and the initial time of the first job. If the buyer only needs a small amount of packaging or a one-time version, the die cutting method is more expensive. For example, in the production of pump packaging, often only 50 to 100, and then change the contour. Because it takes a few hundred or several thousand euros to make tools for die-cuts is not worth it. Using a variety of special-shaped packaging does not require die cutting tools can change the contour in the production, tool inventory and management and logistics costs also accounted for, and this cost can be saved in the use of a variety of special-shaped methods. Therefore, this method is particularly satisfactory when a small to medium number is required.

Polystyrene foam looks as if it is inexpensive, but the cost of using corrugated board cushions is less, making a difference. The advantage of this method is the mass production of cardboard. In addition, corrugated cardboard can be folded in an appropriate shape in advance, and does not require much space during transportation.
