Aopack BM2508-Pro installation in Texas expands production of complex corrugated boxes

In October 2025, Aopack successfully installed a BM2508-Pro box making machine at a packaging converter located in Texas, USA. The installation was carried out by Aopack after-sales engineer Jason together with Sales Director Anna, who provided on-site setup, commissioning and operator training.

The packaging company is located in Hutchins, Texas, a growing logistics and manufacturing hub in the United States. The new installation further strengthens the customer’s ability to produce customized corrugated packaging for a variety of applications.

Vibrating knife cutting enables complex box designs

The installed Aopack BM2508-Pro is equipped with an optional vibrating knife cutting system together with creasing wheels designed for vibrating knife processing. This configuration significantly expands the types of corrugated box designs that can be produced.

With the vibrating knife cutting function, the BM2508-Pro can cut round holes, rectangles, slashes, curves, and other irregular shapes. All operations are completed without traditional die tooling, giving converters greater flexibility for customized box production.

This capability allows the production of complex box styles such as:

• FEFCO 0427 – Hinged Lid Self-Locking Box
• FEFCO 0215 – Bottom Lock Box

These types of packaging structures are commonly used for e-commerce shipments, retail packaging, and protective product packaging.

Efficient alternative to traditional die cutting

Traditionally, complex corrugated box structures are produced using die-cutting machines. While die-cutting offers high speed for large-volume production, it also involves die manufacturing, long setup time, and multiple adjustment steps when changing orders.

For converters handling small batch production or frequent order changes, this process can be inefficient.

Digital cutting tables (plotters) provide flexibility but typically operate at much lower production speeds, making them less suitable for real manufacturing orders.

The Aopack BM2508-Pro provides a balanced solution by combining digital flexibility with industrial-level production efficiency, enabling converters to handle short-run and customized orders more effectively.

Integrated cold glue system for automatic box production

The machine installed in Texas is also equipped with an automatic cold-glue box forming system, allowing cutting, creasing and gluing to be completed in one integrated production process.

This integrated configuration helps reduce manual operations while improving production efficiency for customized corrugated boxes.

During the installation process, the Aopack technical team also assisted the customer in producing several sample box styles, demonstrating the machine’s ability to quickly switch between different box designs.

Supporting the growth of on-demand packaging

With the rapid growth of e-commerce and customized packaging, converters increasingly need equipment capable of handling short-run production, fast order changeovers and complex box designs.

The Aopack BM2508-Pro box making machine is designed to meet these requirements by integrating multiple processes in one system while eliminating the need for traditional die tooling for many box structures.

Aopack automatic box making machine can process 150+ box styles, Board feeding, slotting, scoring, creasing, slitting, trimming, handle die-cutting, gluing, printing, processed in one go, saving time and effort.
