Advantages of an automatic die cutter for corrugated board
Automatic die cutters for corrugated board are designed to process thicker and more resistant materials, commonly used in the production of packaging boxes, industrial packaging, cardboard displays and transport and logistics solutions. This type of process requires robust and stable machines, prepared to maintain reliable production in demanding jobs. Sheet feeding, cutting pressure, registration accuracy and waste stripping are key factors to achieve efficient and consistent die-cutting. AtB Consultech advises each customer in the selection of the most suitable automatic die cutter according to flute type, sheet format, material thickness, cutting pressure, production speed and automation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
An automatic die cutter is an industrial machine designed to cut, crease, mark and separate materials such as corrugated board, folding carton, paperboard and other substrates used in packaging. Its main function is to transform a printed or unprinted sheet into a die-cut piece with the exact shape required to produce boxes, packaging, displays, point-of-sale displays or cartons.
Unlike a manual or semi-automatic die cutter, an automatic die cutter incorporates feeding, transport, cutting, stripping and delivery systems, allowing higher speed, precision and stability in continuous production.
With an automatic die cutter, processes such as cutting, creasing, perforating, waste stripping, blank separation and final product preparation can be carried out before subsequent folding, gluing or assembly.
Automatic die cutters can process different types of materials, depending on the machine model and configuration. The most common materials are:
Corrugated board, folding carton, paperboard, thick paper, micro-flute board, laminated materials and substrates used in the production of industrial packaging.
For corrugated board boxes, it is important to choose a machine with good cutting pressure, a suitable feeding system and the capacity to process different board thicknesses and qualities.
The main difference lies in the level of automation. An automatic die cutter feeds, transports, die-cuts and delivers sheets continuously, reducing manual intervention and increasing productivity.
A semi-automatic die cutter requires greater operator involvement, especially during material feeding or removal. It can be a good option for smaller production runs, but for high-demand industrial jobs, an automatic die cutter offers greater speed, precision and profitability.
An automatic die cutter offers significant advantages for industrial packaging production:
Higher production speed, better cutting precision, reduced errors, less manual handling, greater repeatability, improved final quality, the possibility of incorporating automatic stripping and greater capacity for long production runs.
In addition, it helps optimize production costs, improve delivery times and increase competitiveness compared to more manual or older die-cutting systems.
Stripping is the system responsible for automatically removing the remaining waste after the die-cutting process. In an automatic die cutter, this section separates the waste from the useful product without the need to perform this task manually.
Stripping is especially important for complex jobs, boxes with windows, packaging with multiple cuts or high-volume production, as it improves productivity and reduces subsequent handling time.
Yes. AtB Consultech is the official representative of ETERNA in Spain, a brand specialized in packaging and post-printing machinery, which became a member of the BOBST Group in January 2011.
At AtB Consultech, we offer new ETERNA automatic die cutters, technical advice, installation, commissioning, operator training, maintenance and after-sales service for corrugated board, folding carton and packaging companies.
We support customers throughout the entire process: selection of the most suitable model, technical offer, machine configuration, installation, production tests, training and after-sales assistance.
Yes. AtB Consultech offers installation, assembly, levelling, commissioning and production testing services for automatic die cutters in the cardboard and packaging sector.
The goal is to ensure that the machine is correctly installed, adjusted and ready to operate safely and efficiently.
Yes. AtB Consultech offers operator training in the use of automatic die cutters, including feeding, pressure adjustments, job changeover, safety, basic maintenance, stripping and troubleshooting of common issues.
Good training helps improve productivity and reduce errors during production.
With an automatic die cutter, many types of boxes and packaging can be produced, such as corrugated board boxes, die-cut boxes, straight-line boxes, crash-lock bottom boxes, boxes with handles, display boxes, displays, trays, dividers, industrial packaging, folding cartons and customized packaging.
Corrugated board has a structure made up of one or more inner flutes between layers of paper, which provides greater strength and rigidity. It is mainly used for transport boxes, industrial packaging and higher-resistance packaging.
El formato de troqueladora automática depende del tamaño de hoja que se vaya a trabajar. Para packaging de cartón plegable o formatos medianos pueden utilizarse modelos como 1060, 1050 o 1450. Para cartón ondulado y cajas de mayor tamaño suelen emplearse modelos 1620, 1650, 2100 o superiores.
Elegir el formato correcto es fundamental para optimizar la producción, evitar limitaciones de tamaño y mejorar la rentabilidad de la inversión.
An automatic die cutter requires preventive and corrective maintenance to ensure its performance. Common maintenance tasks include lubrication, inspection of chains, guides, grippers, pneumatic systems, sensors, bearings, electrical systems, pressure adjustment, cleaning and safety checks.
Proper maintenance reduces breakdowns, prevents unexpected downtime and extends the service life of the machine.
It is advisable to buy a new automatic die cutter when a company needs to increase production capacity, improve precision, reduce changeover times, work with larger formats, incorporate automatic stripping or replace an old machine with high maintenance costs.
A new machine also provides access to modern technology, greater safety, better energy efficiency and technical support from the manufacturer.
A used automatic die cutter can be a good option when the aim is to reduce the initial investment while still having an industrial machine with good performance. It is important that the machine has been inspected and includes documentation, maintenance history and the possibility of installation and technical support.
Before buying a used die cutter, it is advisable to carry out a technical inspection to check the mechanical, electrical, pneumatic and safety condition of the machine.
Registration is essential to ensure that the cut matches the print or the exact position of the design correctly. Poor registration can result in off-centre pieces, material waste and quality issues.
High-quality automatic die cutters include front and side registration systems, feeding control and transport mechanisms that help maintain precise and stable production.
Technical service is essential because an automatic die cutter is a key machine in production. Any stoppage can affect delivery times, productivity and profitability.
Having specialized technicians makes it possible to solve breakdowns, carry out maintenance, install the machine correctly, train operators and optimize production performance.
Yes. AtB Consultech offers preventive and corrective maintenance for automatic die cutters, checking the machine’s critical points to avoid unexpected downtime and improve performance.
Maintenance may include mechanical, pneumatic and electrical inspection, cleaning, lubrication, sensor checks, pressure adjustment, chains, grippers, guides and safety systems.
