Manufacturing process

Cardboard box manufacturing from specification to result

Cardboard boxes are converted from selected corrugated board to a specific construction. Work begins with the product, dimensions, loads and conditions of use rather than one universal board thickness. Cutting, die-cutting, creasing, printing and other operations are performed according to the approved dieline.

Solutions

Main stages of cardboard box manufacturing

Every stage must follow the approved construction and order specification.

01

Technical brief

Dimensions, intended use, loads, quantity and printing needs are defined.

02

Construction

Dieline, joints, folds, openings and internal elements are selected.

03

Material

Corrugated board is assessed from product weight, stacking and transport conditions.

04

Production operations

Cutting, die-cutting, forming and printing follow the approved specification.

Process

Manufacturing in four clear steps

Technical data must be approved before serial production.

  1. 01

    Analysis

    Product, use, dimensions, weight and quantity are assessed.

  2. 02

    Design

    Construction and material specification are prepared or selected.

  3. 03

    Approval

    Dimensions, artwork and production terms are confirmed.

  4. 04

    Production and checks

    Boxes are manufactured and checked against agreed parameters.

Efficient construction

Thicker board is not always better

Excess material increases weight and cost but does not automatically guarantee better protection. The whole packaging system determines the result.

  • Assess construction and board together
  • Do not select by overall thickness alone
  • Separate retail presentation from transport protection
  • Check actual storage conditions
Frequently asked questions

What you should know

These answers help define the requirement and prepare a more accurate quotation.

What are cardboard boxes made from?

Boxes are converted from corrugated board selected for the intended use and approved construction.

Do you manufacture FEFCO-style boxes?

Standard constructions can be assessed together with custom solutions according to product needs.

Are dimensions checked before production?

Yes. The dieline, dimensions and other technical data must be approved before production.

Is printing part of production?

Printing is planned as part of the production specification and agreed before the order is executed.

How long does manufacturing take?

Timing depends on construction, material, printing, quantity and production capacity and is stated in the quotation.
