Beyond the Box
Discover how corrugated production can go beyond traditional packaging.
Join Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems, Esko, Canon, and Felix Gluer for an immersive workshop exploring how connected technologies are enabling converters to create more than just boxes.
During this interactive event, attendees will follow the complete journey of a corrugated project - from design to finished product - demonstrating how integrated workflow solutions support a wide range of applications including retail displays, promotional structures, and shelf-ready packaging.
Request Your InvitationThe Workflow Journey
During this workshop, attendees will experience the complete lifecycle of a corrugated project - demonstrating how modern production workflows move from concept to finished display or packaging solution.
Stage 01
Structural Design
Esko
What they demonstrate
- Creating structural designs and accurate die lines using Esko ArtiosCAD
- Digital layout preparation and nesting for corrugated materials
- Seamless design-to-production file handoff to downstream workflow
Key benefits
- Accurate structural files from day one - fewer corrections downstream
- Faster iteration between structural concept and production-ready design
- Direct integration with print and cutting workflow stages
Stage 02
Digital Printing
Canon
What they demonstrate
- High-quality digital print output directly onto corrugated substrates
- Short-run and variable data production without plate costs
- Pre-press to press handoff using standardized digital files
Key benefits
- Consistent color across short and medium print runs
- Fast turnaround - print-ready output for immediate cutting
- Enables personalization and promotional variation at production speed
Stage 03
Precision Digital Cutting
Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems
What they demonstrate
- Digital cutting of printed corrugated sheets into finished forms
- Tooling flexibility across retail display and packaging applications
- Automated job setup and production control via i-cut Production Console
Key benefits
- Precise, repeatable cuts on every job - no physical tooling required
- Faster job changeover and reduced setup time between runs
- Supports a wide range of corrugated applications from a single table
Stage 04
Finishing and Gluing
Felix Gluer
What they demonstrate
- Automated gluing and folding of corrugated display and packaging structures
- Assembly of shelf-ready packaging and retail display units
- Final product output ready for logistics and dispatch
Key benefits
- Consistent assembly quality across production volumes
- Reduced manual labor at the final production stage
- Production-ready output that closes the end-to-end workflow loop
Together, these technologies demonstrate how an integrated workflow can improve efficiency, reduce production time, and enable new corrugated applications.
