Packaging design and engineering have been simplified because of innovations in computer technology. For example, let’s say you have a requirement to tweak or alter a box style and size. Or change a component in the design of a box. Well traditionally, you would contact your corrugated sheet plant or box vendor and ask them to engineer the required packaging change which usually adds the expense of design and engineering fees. Not anymore, with advancements and flexibility in computer technology, and by taking a few simple steps a packaging design change can occur without you the customer having to invest dollars into tooling, setup or die-cuts. Just by making a simple revision in the program of the carton style and selecting the modified program on the CNC box machine, whamo! there ya go! Maybe there some concerns over the possibilities of the product being damaged during shipment, an extra fold here and a tuck there, or maybe an added layer of corrugated in the corners is all that may be needed to shore up the carton. This modification is done by changing and programming the code of the packaging article, thus giving the package the additional padding and protection. Innovations in packaging design with one or numerous alterations can be performed instantly which allows complete flexibility without throwing extra dollars into engineering and labor. Many companies and corrugated supply chain managers in North America and Europe have embraced this cutting edge technology giving them much more packaging flexibility in carton and shipping box design, making it easier and more convenient to manage their corrugated supply chain needs.
