The main types and functions of corrugated carton box machines are as below:
1. Corrugated cardboard production line
This is the first process of corrugated cardboard box manufacturing, it responsible for processing the raw paper into corrugated cardboard. Including single-facer corrugated machine, double-facer corrugated machine, drying equipment, cutting system, etc.
2. Printing slotting machine
This machine function is to print patterns and text on the cardboard, make slots and indentations according to the outline of the unfolded cardboard box, preparing for subsequent molding. Normally it include below several types:
Flexographic printing slotting machine: suitable for medium and low precision printing, it has fast speed.
Offset printing machine: used for high-precision color printing (such as household appliances, gift boxes).
Digital printing machine: used for small batch customized production.
3. Die cutting machine
Its function is to cut and press complex shaped cardboard boxes (such as irregular boxes, display boxes). Divided into below 2 types:
Flat platen die-cutting machine: High precision, suitable for small and medium-sized batches.
Circular die cutting machine: High speed continuous production, suitable for large quantities.
4. Nail box machine/glue box machine
Its function is to join the printed slotted or die cut cardboard into boxes.
Nail box machine: nailed with metal nails, sturdy and durable.
Box gluing machine: glued together, with a smooth appearance, used for top grade packaging.
Folding and gluing machine: Automatically process for folding, gluing, and pressing.
5. Binding machine and stacker machine
Automatically stacker, count, and bundle finished cardboard boxes for easy transportation and storage.
6. Auxiliary equipment
Including box gluing machines, paper sorting machines, wire pressing machines, corner cutting machines, etc., used for other special process requirement.

Technical features:
Automation level: Modern equipment often use PLC control and servo drive to achieve high-speed production (ten thousands of boxes per hour).
Flexibility: You can through by changing the molds or adjusting parameters to switch different sizes and styles of cardboard boxes.
Environmental protection and energy conservation: Equipment tends to be designed with low energy consumption, combined with environmentally inks and adhesives.

Considerations for choosing a machine:
Production requirements: According to the type of cardboard box (regular box, color box, heavy-duty box), batch size, and printing requirements.
Equipment configuration: such as printing color quantity, slotting accuracy, and automation level.
Brand and after-sales: World famous brands such as Bobst, Martin, Dongfang etc, usually provide more stable performance and technical support.
