Digital Cardboard Cutting & Creasing Machines for Packaging & Displays

In the fast-paced packaging industry, speed, flexibility and cost control are critical for winning orders and serving your customers.​

Shilai offers digital cutting and creasing machines with different working areas and tool configurations to meet the needs of packaging sample rooms, box plants and display manufacturers.​
Each model combines oscillating knife cutting, creasing and plotting to support dieless sample-making and short-run production.

A digital cardboard cutting machine is a CNC oscillating knife cutter with creasing and plotting tools that processes cardboard and corrugated materials according to CAD drawings instead of fixed dies.​
The machine can cut, crease, perforate and mark in a single setup, allowing you to produce folding cartons, corrugated boxes and honeycomb structures quickly and accurately.​
For packaging companies, it is ideal for sample-making, small batches, customized packaging and just-in-time production without the lead time and cost of traditional die tooling.​

Typical materials

• Folding carton board, white cardboard and grey cardboard.​
• Single-, double- and honeycomb corrugated board.​
• Paper honeycomb panels and lightweight display board.

• One machine for cutting and creasing: oscillating knife, drag knife, creasing wheel and plotting pen work together to cut, crease and mark in a single pass.​
• No steel dies, lower tooling cost: dieless cutting lets you respond quickly to new designs and small orders without investing in heavy die tooling.​
• High precision and repeatability: CNC motion and vacuum hold-down deliver clean cuts and accurate crease lines, even on tough corrugated and honeycomb boards.​
• Faster sample-making and short runs: go directly from structural design to finished samples and small batches, reducing proofing time for your customers.​
• Flexible production: support custom sizes, structural variations and personalized packaging for e-commerce, retail and industrial customers.

• High-speed oscillating knife for cutting cardboard and corrugated without tearing or crushing.​
• Creasing wheels with different diameters and pressures to form clear crease lines without cracking the liner on heavy corrugated.​
• Drag knife and plotting pen for kiss-cutting, marking fold lines and printing layout information.​
• Vacuum table and sectional zones for stable hold-down of large sheets and honeycomb boards.

Shilai digital cutters are designed for packaging converters, box plants, display makers and in-house packaging departments that need flexibility and speed.​

Packaging sample rooms & design centers
Structural designers and sample makers use cardboard cutting machines to turn CAD designs into physical samples within minutes.​
This accelerates approval cycles for new folding cartons, corrugated boxes and custom packaging solutions.​

Short-run and customized packaging
Packaging companies use digital cutting and creasing for small batch orders, seasonal promotions and personalized packaging where traditional dies are not economical.​
You can handle rush jobs, test marketing campaigns and customized designs without waiting for die production.​

Corrugated and honeycomb displays
POS displays, floor stands and protective structures made from corrugated and honeycomb board benefit from precise cutting and creasing.​
CNC cutting ensures clean slots, tabs and folding lines that assemble easily and perform well in stores and warehouses.
