Corrugated board is made from linerboard and fluted medium. Single wall board is common for light packaging, while double wall board is often selected for stronger shipping cartons. Different board thicknesses require different die pressure, blade depth and machine stability.

2026-06-11Slotting in box making creates the cuts between carton flaps, so corrugated board can fold into a stable box shape. Without accurate slotting, the carton may have uneven flaps, weak corners, poor closing performance or unstable stacking after packing.
-
2026-06-10The production flow of corrugated box manufacturing usually includes board preparation, feeding, slitting, creasing, slotting, printing, folding and final stacking. Each step affects carton strength, size accuracy and packing efficiency. A stable production flow helps reduce waste, improve order change speed and keep carton quality consistent.

2026-06-09A Slitter Scorer Machine is used to slit corrugated board into required widths and press accurate scoring lines for later folding. In corrugated production, this machine directly affects carton size accuracy, folding quality and forming stability. Poor slitting or scoring can cause rough edges, cracked fold lines, uneven flaps and weak box shape.

2026-06-08Flexo Folder Gluer Machines combine printing, slotting, creasing, folding and gluing in one continuous carton production process. They are mainly used for corrugated boxes that need printed information, accurate flap forming and stable glued seams.
-
2026-06-05Corrugated boxes are formed through a series of cutting, creasing, slotting, folding and shaping processes. A standard corrugated board contains linerboard and fluted medium, which gives the box cushioning strength and stacking support.
-
2026-06-04Knocked down flat box production means making corrugated boxes in a flat, folded condition before final opening, packing or assembly. This method is widely used in carton manufacturing because flat boxes save storage space, reduce transport volume and make order handling easier for packaging factories, warehouses and export suppliers.
-
2026-06-03Corrugated box styles produced by machines mainly depend on board structure, cutting layout, slotting position and creasing design. In packaging production, common styles include regular slotted cartons, half slotted cartons, trays, mailer boxes and custom folded boxes.
-
2026-06-02On-demand box making technology means producing corrugated boxes according to real order size, quantity and packaging needs instead of relying only on large stock carton inventory. It is especially useful for packaging factories, e-commerce warehouses and small-batch carton production, where box sizes change frequently and storage space becomes a cost pressure.
-
2026-06-01Single wall and double wall box machines are used for different corrugated packaging structures. A single wall box usually has one fluted layer between two linerboards, while a double wall box has two fluted layers and three linerboards.

2026-05-28Barrier properties in packaging materials refer to how well a package blocks oxygen, moisture, light, aroma loss, oil, and outside contamination. For food, coffee, pet food, powder, liquid refills, medical supplies, and daily goods, the barrier level directly affects shelf life, product freshness, leakage risk, and shipping stability.The most common technical indicators are OTR and WVTR. OTR measures how much oxygen passes through a material under set conditions, while WVTR measures how much water vapor passes through a film. ASTM F1249 is widely used to measure water vapor transmission through flexible barrier materials, and testing conditions such as film thickness, temperature, and humidity can change the final result.Barrier Type What It Controls Common Packaging NeedOxygen barrier Oxidation and aroma loss Coffee, nuts, dried foodMoisture barrier Water vapor movement Powder, snacks, pet foodLight barrier UV and visible light exposure Sensitive food and supplementsOil barrier Grease migration Sauces, oily food, bakery goodsAroma barrier Flavor loss and odor transfer Coffee, tea, seasoningFlexible packaging is widely used because it can combine several barrier functions in one structure. The Flexible Packaging Association reports that flexible packaging accounts for about 21 percent of the U.S. packaging market, with industry sales of USD 41.5 billion in 2022. This market demand is closely related to lighter material use, product protection, and efficient transportation.A single film often cannot meet every barrier requirement. PET may support printing and stiffness, PE can provide heat sealing, PA can improve puncture resistance, and aluminum foil or high-barrier film can reduce oxygen, moisture, and light exposure. The correct packaging structure should match product weight, filling method, shelf-life target, sealing temperature, storage humidity, and export route.JINGOU focuses on corrugated carton machinery for flexible packaging and secondary packaging production. Our product range includes carton forming machines, cardboard box forming machines, auto thin blade slitter scorers, and auto rotary slotter machines. JINGOU is a high-tech enterprise specializing in corrugated carton machines for small quantity orders, with patented box maker equipment and CE-certified machinery.Professional advice is to evaluate barrier packaging together with the outer carton. Even a high-barrier pouch may be damaged if the carton is too loose, too tight, or weak in stacking. Accurate carton forming can reduce pouch squeezing, seal stress, crushed corners, and shipping damage.For project procurement, JINGOU can help customers review pouch size, product weight, carton board thickness, slotting structure, order quantity, and packaging workflow. Share your packaging material, carton size, board specification, and production plan with our team, and we can recommend a practical carton machinery solution for safer packaging and stable delivery.

2026-05-12End of line packaging equipment refers to the machines used after a product has been made, filled, assembled, or packed into its primary package. This stage usually includes carton forming, case packing, sealing, labeling, palletizing, strapping, and preparation for warehouse or shipping.
