The core equipment for a carton box factory is usually divide into two main stages: the corrugated cardboard production line (make raw paper into cardboard) and the cardboard printing and forming equipment (make cardboard into cardboard boxes).
1. Paperboard production: Corrugated cardboard production line
This production line is also called as the "corrugated line", it is the starting point of whole cardboard box factories. It is a very long combination device, usually, it will include below:
Wet part: cut and stack the finished cardboard according to the order size requirement, such as single face corrugated machines, preheating cylinders machine, glue coating machines, etc.
Modern and efficient corrugated production lines, such as BHS equipment which mentioned in professional media and environmental, can achieve production speed more than 350 meters per minute, it has high degree of automation, greatly reducing manual dependence.

2. Carton Forming step: Printing and Post Processing
We still need the following key equipment to make the cardboard to cardboard boxes:
Printing slotting die cutting machine: This is the core equipment of carton forming process. It combine printing, slotting, die cutting step together and the efficient is very high.
Gluing box machine and nail box machine: it will complete the final forming step for cardboard boxes. More and more facotry will choose fully automatic nail&gluing machine, the efficient is very high and also have more beautiful molding.

Equipment selection trend
The corrugated cardboard production line is main choose: many modern factory will use production line which include printing, slotting, die cutting, gluing, stacking and packaging. For example, a production line can process 330pcs cardboard boxes per minute, but the whole production line just need 3 workers to operate, it greatly improve the production efficiency compare with traditional mode.
Fully automatic degree is key point: many factory pay attention on the fully intelligent and automatic equipment, it will directly affect the production capacity for whole factory, cost control, and product quality stability.
The selection of equipment is consider the production capacity, efficiency, cost and flexibility. Modern factory is tend to integrate process, a corrugated cardboard production line which combine printing, slotting, die cutting and box gluing is better than just purchase a single machine.
