protective packaging

Reliable cutting for protective packaging

Produce lightweight protective packaging from corrugated board and foam, with precisely cut outer packaging and inserts tailored to the product you need to protect.

protective packaging

From packaging design to finished sample

Move quickly from a digital design to a finished protective packaging sample. Store proven designs as reusable templates, adapt them for new products and start cutting without creating a physical die.

  • Produce samples and short runs directly from digital files
  • Reuse existing templates or adjust them for each product
  • Create corrugated packaging and protective inserts in one workflow

THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR YOUR NEEDS

Three people have to agree before a table earns its place

Owners, production managers and operators judge the same machine on different things. Here is how the corrugated range answers each of them.

Increase capacity

“I would like to increase capacity and shorten lead times without making production harder to manage.”

Expand applications

“I would like the flexibility to produce more applications and serve more customer requirements.”

Streamline changeovers

“I would like to move between jobs and materials with a clear, efficient and repeatable workflow.”

Built for protective packaging

Cutting tables for protective packaging

Produce corrugated packaging, foam inserts and other protective components with a cutting table that matches your materials, applications and production requirements.

Flexible production across corrugated and foam

The C Series combines a wide material range with the power and control required for protective packaging production. Its dedicated foam-cutting capabilities and available higher traverse support thicker materials and more demanding foam applications.

  • Cut corrugated board, foam and other protective packaging materials
  • Produce consistent partial cuts with precise Z-axis control
  • Handle thicker foam materials with higher-traverse configurations

Versatile cutting for samples and protective packaging

The X Seriesgives you the flexibility to produce samples, custom protective packaging and shorter production runs across corrugated and foam materials. Dedicated foam-cutting capabilities help you produce accurate inserts, pockets and protective structures.

  • Produce samples, one-offs and short production runs
  • Cut corrugated board and a wide range of foam materials
  • Add identification directly during cutting with the Inkjet Marking Module

Tools & Automation

Cut, crease and handle materials more efficiently

Choose tools suited to the corrugated and foam materials you process. CorruSpeed supports high-speed corrugated cutting, crease wheels create accurate folds, and the High-frequency VibraCut Knife Tool processes materials including recycled corrugated board and soft foam board. As production volumes grow, material-handling automation can help keep boards moving and reduce the time spent loading and unloading.

  • Cut and crease different corrugated grades with dedicated tools
  • Process foam and recycled corrugated materials reliably
  • Reduce manual handling with automation suited to your production setup

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What materials can be used to produce protective packaging?

Protective packaging can be produced from corrugated board, foam, foamboard, corrugated plastic and other board-based materials. A digital cutting table can be used to create both the outer packaging and the protective internal components, depending on the material and required construction.

Can a digital cutting table cut foam inserts for protective packaging?

Yes. The Kongsberg C and Kongsberg X can be equipped for foam cutting. Dedicated foam-cutting capabilities, precise Z-axis control and specialized tools support the production of pockets, cavities and partial cuts for protective foam inserts.

Can protective packaging be customized for individual products?

Yes. Digital cutting allows packaging designs to be adapted to the size, shape and protection requirements of a specific product. Corrugated boxes and foam inserts can be produced directly from digital files without making a physical die for each new design.

Is digital cutting suitable for both protective packaging samples and production runs?

Digital cutting can be used for prototypes, one-off packaging, short runs and recurring production. Designs can be tested and adjusted digitally before the same files are used for production, making it easier to move from an initial sample to finished packaging.

How can I improve productivity in protective packaging production?

Reusable design templates, specialized cutting tools and an efficient digital workflow can reduce the setup needed between jobs. For higher production volumes, material-handling automation can also reduce loading and unloading work and help keep materials moving through production.
