In the modern folding carton[carton?:carton box sample cutting machine] plant, the same computer program that generates the structure of the box and the subsequent production layout is used by the die maker to create a steel rule die shows a up die. Many die boards today are cut by laser, insuring a much higher degree of accuracy and consistency between dies. Steel rule knives are then bent and cut to the required shape and fit into the slots burned by the laser. Where the design calls for a crease, the steel rule has a rounded edge that creates a score around which the carton will fold.
Also, note the “nesting” of cartons . The bottom tucks of the top two rows of cartons are laid into the recesses formed by the boxes below them. Wherever possible, the box maker will maximize sheet utilization, creating as little waste as possible.
