Slitter scorer machine VS Die cutting machine

The grooving effect directly affects the forming of the carton. Let me introduce to you the difference between die cutting and grooving.

  • Color boxes generally have an irregular shape after unfolding, which is what we often call special-shaped boxes. They can only be directly stamped and formed with a ready-made die, so a die-cutting machine is needed to complete this process.
  • Ordinary cartons are very regular and square when unfolded. The excess space between the upper and lower lids of the cardboard is directly cut off by a slotting machine, and finally folded to become a three-dimensional carton.

Difference between corrugated die cutting machine and slitter scorer

The difference between the two machines is that die-cutting requires a corresponding fixed die, generally one die for each product; while the slotting machine is basically universal, and the slotting machine has a lower cost than the die-cutting machine. But what the die-cutting machine does the cardboard slotting machine of the die-cutting machine cannot be used, but the movable die-cutting machine of the slotting machine can be used. Each has its own advantages. The final choice depends on your product.
