CORRUGATED BOX MACHINERY
Machine Types: Flatbed / Rotary
Max. Speed: Up to 7,000 Sheets/h
Cutting Dies: Customizable
The corrugated box die cutting machine uses the die-cutting die to cut and crease the corrugated board based on the pre-designed shape and size. It turns the uncut corrugated board into the required box blank shapes and creases fold lines for easy folding and forming.
Depending on the die-cutting method, corrugated die-cutting machines are divided into automatic rotary die cutters and automatic flatbed die-cutting machines. For corrugated cartons used for common shipping boxes, furniture packaging boxes, and other regular cardboard boxes, a flexo printer slotter die-cutting machine is sufficient to meet production needs, so an additional standalone die-cutting machine may not be necessary.
Corrugated box plants may need to produce pizza boxes, special-structured e-commerce packaging boxes, or display boxes. If their current equipment cannot meet their processing requirements for outlines, tuck flaps, or other structures, they can consider adding a standalone die cutting machine for corrugated boxes.
AGICO PAPER is a professional corrugated machinery supplier. We provide automatic flatbed die-cutting machines and rotary die-cutting machines for corrugated box making. These two types of machines use different die-cutting methods and suit different production needs.
The flatbed die-cutting machine uses a flat cutting die and a pressing mechanism. It cuts corrugated board into the required box shape in one pass.
Suitable Products: pizza boxes, custom-shaped corrugated boxes
Die-Cutting Method: flat
Production Characteristics: die-cutting by pressing
The rotary die-cutting machine is also called a rotary die cutter. This machine uses a die cylinder and an anvil cylinder to process corrugated board. A curved cutting die is mounted on the die cylinder, which rotates continuously to cut and crease the board as it passes between the cylinders.
Suitable Products: produce trays, die-cut corrugated boxes with openings
Die-Cutting Method: rotary die-cutting cylinder
Production Characteristics: continuous rotary die-cutting
The efficient operation of a die-cutting machine depends on five key systems. They include feeding, positioning, die-cutting, waste stripping, and delivery. These systems work together to keep the machine running efficiently. Different configurations can also affect board feeding stability, die-cutting accuracy, and production efficiency.
Feeding System
Stacked corrugated board is fed to the die-cutting station one sheet at a time through this system, which makes sure the board can continuously and steadily enter the die-cutting area. Some die-cutting machines use vacuum suction nozzles to pick up corrugated board and conveyor belts to send it to the positioning mechanism. Rotary models may use a vacuum-assisted leading-edge feeder to deliver the board to the die-cutting section. For different corrugated board sizes and thicknesses, you can adjust the feeding parameters to meet the board feeding requirements.
Positioning System
To ensure the accuracy of the corrugated cardboard conveying position, the positioning system uses front lays and side lays to align the corrugated board in both the feeding direction and the crosswise direction. The front lays use brush wheels to press the corrugated board against the front stops. The side lays use pulling wheels and side positioning plates to align the board from the side.
Die-Cutting System
This die-cutting system is a key part of this die cutting machine for corrugated boxes. It is responsible for cutting and creasing the corrugated board. The cutting die cuts the board to the required shape based on the specific needs and creases the line for folding.
Waste Stripping System
Waste materials may block the machine and cause it to stop operating. The waste stripping system removes the waste material from the die-cut corrugated board to prevent this problem. Some waste stripping systems use a waste stripping frame, stripping pins, and cylinders that work together. But not all die-cutting machines come with an automatic waste stripping system as standard. Some models require it as an optional feature or use a separate waste stripping machine.
Delivery System
The delivery system receives the die-cut products and stacks them neatly. Some die-cutting machines use delivery grippers and a delivery platform. Delivery grippers convey the products to the delivery platform.
Achieve Precise Die-Cutting
AGICO PAPER's corrugated box die-cutting machine uses feeding and positioning systems to adjust the position of corrugated board. When the board enters the die-cutting unit, these devices help control the cutting position. This improves die-cutting accuracy and reduces waste in box production.
Handle Multiple Flute Types
The equipment is suitable for A, B, C, and E flute corrugated board. By changing cutting dies with different designs, the machine can process different box blank shapes to meet different processing needs for box structures and packaging designs.
Ensure Stable Operation
AGICO PAPER's equipment uses a rigid frame and a main transmission system to handle the load during die cutting. These structures help keep the die-cutting unit running smoothly.
The corrugated die cutting and creasing machine mainly uses a custom-made cutting die to cut and process corrugated board. In this process, the corrugated board is cut into the required box shape, with crease lines formed for subsequent folding.
Before Production:
Die-Cutting Process
1. Corrugated Board Feeding
The board is sent into the die cutting section by the feeding system. It is conveyed and positioned into the die-cutting unit according to the required cutting position, preparing for the subsequent cutting.
2. Corrugated Board Die-Cutting
The equipment applies pressure to the cardboard through the die-cutting mechanism, allowing the cutting die to cut out the corresponding shape according to the designated position of the cardboard.
3. Corrugated Board Output
The die-cut corrugated board is sent to the delivery section for collection or stacking. The finished box blanks are used for the next process, such as folding, gluing, or stitching.

To help customers choose the right corrugated box die cutting machine according to their needs, AGICO PAPER provides the key factors to consider. When choosing the machine, you can refer to the following.
Die-Cutting Method
Flatbed for complex designs; rotary for continuous, high-volume production.
Processing Range
Both feeding and cutting sizes must accommodate your unfolded box blank.
Production & Automation
Check actual output, waste stripping, and stacking requirements to select the right machine configuration.
AGICO PAPER's die cutting machines can process corrugated board into different box shapes to meet various packaging needs, including:
One-Stop-Supply
Besides corrugated die cutting machines, AGICO PAPER also provides customized die-cutting dies based on customers' box designs and processing requirements. We also supply consumable parts for these machines, such as die-cutting jackets. This gives customers more options for purchasing equipment and related spare parts from us.
Installation Guidance
Worried about how to install the machine? AGICO PAPER provides installation instructions and equipment positioning guidance. We help every customer install the machine correctly and get corrugated box production started.
Machine Testing
