How Cardboard Boxes Are Made?

Primarily used for packing goods and materials, cardboard boxes are industrially prefabricated boxes that play a very vital role. Despite its humble appearance, manufacturing a cardboard box can be complicated and it needs the effective functioning of several machines to make one. Here in this article you will be able to find in some information about how cardboard boxes are made and its entire details.

In general these boxes are made from eco-friendly, cast-off materials that are 100% recycled. It can be either used over and over again or recycled without causing any harm to the planet. With that said, a large amount of cardboard boxes are made from about 35 percent recycled fiber but, recycled content can be as high as 100 percent. Now let us take a look at how these boxes are made.

  • Initially, a whole lot of recycled paper is rolled out by the cardboard making machine to be split up into one undulating sheet of paper called a flute which sits connecting two flat sheets called liners forming a corrugated board.
  • The paper then passes through two rollers called a corrogater where hot steam haze is sprayed on the board whilst one more roller sticks one side of the flute.
  • In order to hold the box together and to strengthen the board, the machine holds on two liners.
  • Subsequent to that, a razor thin circular saw slices each side of the cardboard.
  • Based on the size of the box, the corrogater machine cuts the board as many times as required.
  • With the help of aluminum tongs, the corrogater will separate the boards into layers.
  • A trimmer is used to cut through the cardboard with precision.
  • It is a rubber blade that ensures that the machine cuts only the parts it’s supposed to cut.
  • The boxes are then folded with the help of bending machine along lines already made by the corrogater. Next the gluing section.
  • Boxes are then put in large piles and sent off to be shipped away.
  • Finally the boxes are ready to ship and it can carry almost anything you could imagine.
