How is a Box Produced? Stages, Materials and Production Process
A box is one of the indispensable parts of daily life and trade. Especially with the rapid growth of e-commerce and the logistics sector, box production has become important in terms of both demand and variety. So how is a box produced? What materials are used? What are the stages? Here is a detailed explanation...
What is a Box?
A box is a packaging box that is usually made of corrugated cardboard and used to carry, protect and store products. It is one of the most important elements of logistics processes with its durable and lightweight structure.
How is Box Production Done? (Step by Step)
1. Raw Material Supply
The first stage of box production is raw material supply. Basic component:
Corrugated cardboard (usually kraft paper)
It consists of 3 layers: inner surface, outer surface and wave layer.
Recycled papers are also used for environmentally friendly production.
2. Corrugated Cardboard Production
At this stage, corrugated cardboard is created by combining the wave-formed paper (fluting) with the flat paper (liner).
It consists of three main layers:
Liner (inner and outer flat surfaces)
Fluting (the wavy structure in the middle)
These layers are brought together in the machine by heat, pressure and special glues.
3. Cutting and Folding the Cardboard
After the corrugated cardboard comes out in large sheets, it is cut and shaped according to the need.
At this stage:
Automatic cutting machines are used.
The box type (classic, telescopic, automatic based, etc.) is determined.
Folding lines ensure the formation of the box shape.
4. Printing and Branding (Optional)
For companies that want to produce brand-specific boxes, at this stage:
Flexographic or offset printing techniques are used.
Visuals such as logos, warning symbols, barcodes are applied.
This is important for the promotion of the brand and professionalism.
5. Gluing and Assembly
The cut and printed box is taken to the gluing line. Automatically or manually:
Side surfaces are glued,
Flat stacked,
Made ready for transportation.
6. Quality Control and Packaging
Each box production series is subjected to quality control processes. Here:
Durability,
Cutting accuracy,
Folding and gluing are checked. Then the boxes are baled and made ready for shipment.
Materials Used in Box Production
Kraft paper (first quality outer surface)
Testliner (recycled inner surface)
Fluting (wave layer)
Glue and starch-based adhesives
Printing inks (water-based, environmentally friendly)
Production Types and Wave Types
Wave structure is very important in box production. Each offers different carrying capacity:
Wave Type Description Area of Use
E Wave Thin, in presentation boxes Light products
B Wave Medium thickness General cargo
C Wave Thick and durable Heavy products
BC Wave Double layer, extra strong Industrial products
