Standard box sizes rarely fit the product. The result is empty space, void fill, extra board and higher freight volume. Edda CNC box-on-demand machines cut and crease a right-sized box for each product from fanfold or sheet corrugated board, so every item ships in a box that fits. Combined with automatic closing and scanning, the whole process can run as a complete packaging line.

Frequently asked questions
What is a box-on-demand machine?
It is a CNC machine that cuts and creases a box to the exact dimensions of each product, instead of using a stock of standard box sizes. This saves board and void fill and reduces shipping volume.
Which board can be processed?
Neobox and Optibox process corrugated board up to 2500 mm wide and 2–7 mm thick.
Can the box size be set automatically?
Yes. In the Themis line, a 3D scanning station measures each product at the infeed and sends the dimensions to the box machine, which cuts the box to size. The box is then formed around the product and closed by the Sealmaster.
