Reliable cutting for sample making

Turn digital designs into accurate, full-size packaging samples and prototypes across a wide range of materials.

sample making

From digital design to finished sample

Bring packaging concepts to life with an efficient digital sample-making workflow. Create accurate samples, test and refine designs, and produce short runs without moving between different production methods.

  • Create full-size samples directly from digital designs
  • Test and adjust packaging designs before production
  • Produce prototypes and short runs across a wide range of materials

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.

Keep pace with demand

“I would like production to keep pace as demand increases and the business moves forward.”

Expand opportunities

“I would like one investment to support a broader range of profitable applications and materials.”

Share expertise

“I would like more operators to handle jobs independently and apply best practices consistently.”

Tools

Boost your digital cutting
and reduce production times

A wide range of specialty tools allows you to cut, crease and process different packaging materials on the same table. Fast tool loading, automatic tool recognition and calibration reduce manual setup, helping you move efficiently from one sample to the next.

The Inkjet Marking Module can also add identification directly during cutting, keeping individual components clearly identifiable throughout sorting, assembly and evaluation.

  • Reduce the time required to load and calibrate tools
  • Use the appropriate cutting, creasing or marking method for each material
  • Add identification directly during cutting for samples with multiple components

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a sample-making cutting table?

A sample-making cutting table turns digital designs into accurate, full-size packaging samples and prototypes. It can cut, crease and mark materials according to the design file, helping you evaluate the construction before moving into production.

How does digital cutting support packaging sample making?

Digital cutting allows you to produce a physical packaging sample directly from a digital design. This makes it easier to check dimensions, folds, fit and construction, and to adjust the design before production begins.

Which materials can be used for sample making?

The Kongsberg X Series can process a wide range of materials, including folding carton, corrugated board, solid board, fluted core board, foam, plastics and flexible materials. The tools and configuration required depend on the material and the operations needed for the sample.

What operations can be completed during sample making?

Depending on its configuration, the Kongsberg X Series can cut, crease and mark packaging materials. Specialty tools make it possible to select the appropriate processing method for the material and design.

Does sample making require frequent manual tool changes?

The number of tool changes depends on the materials and operations required. Fast tool loading, automatic tool recognition and calibration help reduce manual setup when moving between different sample-making tasks.

Can samples be marked during the cutting process?

Yes. The Inkjet Marking Module can add identification directly during cutting. This helps keep individual components identifiable during sorting, assembly and evaluation, particularly when a sample contains multiple parts.
