How to Make Corrugated boxes

Corrugated boxes usually come in many shapes as well as sizes. They vary from the most common corrugated boxes with flaps at the top and bottom to the unusual ones called die cut boxes. A die cut corrugated box has been made using a cutting forme. You have a flat piece of cardboard and a cutting forme which has lots of blades mounted on a sheet of wood which presses out a shape in the cardboard and this shape folds to make corrugated boxes.
If you want to make corrugated boxes, the first thing you need to do is to make the corrugated board into a box. Usually, corrugated board is made of three pieces of paper bonded together with a starch adhesive. The two outer liners remain flat however the middle layer of paper is made wavy. All of these give the product its strength. It is called corrugated board.
Among all of these types, single wall corrugated board is the most common one. We uses three pieces of paper to make it with the middle layer. Of course, there are also double wall boxes these are made up from two single walled layers, therefore you have 3 paper liners sandwiched with two sets of fluting.

You need to cut the corrugated cardboard to size if you want to make it a real box! the size of the blank (this is the name for the uncut piece of cardboard) will obviously depend on the size of box you want to create. Say you want a box 305Lx229Wx229H mm (we always measure boxes by the length first then the width then the height) you would need to measure your box as: 305+229+305+229+50 = 1118mm wide against the fluting (the 50 measurement is left for the glue flap), by 229+229 =458mm height (with the fluting) The fluting always runs with the height of the box.

Once you have cut your bank to size you now need to cut your top and bottom flaps and then glue the box together using the glue flap.
