On Demand Box Making from BCS

A cardboard box making machine such as the BCS Boxer is the ultimate short run cardboard box making machine. Its impressive onboard memory allows over 100 different styles of boxes to be made and the design stored for future use. Create regular square or oblong boxes, trays, or box dividers for individual items.

Boxes are produced to industry standards with the BCS boxer, due to its slot creation and ultra-defined crease lines even on heavy duty board grades. This results in a much stronger box capable of better protecting your parcel during shipment.

The process of making your custom size box is to select your required style, input the internal dimensions of the box and the quantity required, then press go. The machine operator can either do this via a touch screen attached to the machine or remotely from a PC or WMS. 

Impressively, the BCS Boxer also has an option to decipher what the correct size box will be for your item. To create the box itself, corrugated board sheets are fed automatically or manually into the Boxer and will output the box to be assembled.

Capable of producing up to 600 boxes an hour, The BCS Boxer is fast, reliable and simple to use. No prior experience is required to operate the machine, making the Boxer a valuable asset to any ecommerce company.

Solve Packaging Problems with a Box Making Machine

It is imperative that businesses properly package items for delivery to avoid problems during shipment. Many people believe that the best way to protect a parcel during transit is to use masses of bubble wraps, heaps of plastic void fillers, and reams of packaging paper to prevent the item from moving around in the box. What you are left with is a small item in a oversized box with an excessive amount of void fillers which is costing you more money than necessary to ship.

Whilst limiting the potential movement of the item is the right way to go, the better, and cheaper option is to select a suitably small cardboard box to place the item in. 

Many companies purchase cardboard boxes in bulk, which seems like a cheaper upfront cost, but it pays better to avoid this. If there are only a limited number of box sizes available, there is a chance that some items won’t be suitably packed and will be packed with plastic void fillers which run up additional costs and aren’t environmentally friendly.

Use the right size box and your packaging nightmare will become a breeze. Skip the standard size boxes for custom size boxes and get the perfect fit for your product every time. Consider investing in a box making machine which allows multiple types of box styles and sizes to be made on demand. Your customers will appreciate the effort you’ve made in reducing waste and you’ll also reduce your shipping costs. 

By creating the smallest size box, you will need to use much less bubble wrap to protect your item, which is cheaper for the business and easier for your customer to dispose of. With a cardboard box making machine, you can create partition walls, which are perfect for more fragile items like candles and glassware.
