Unlocking small-batch agility: Kutudeposu chooses Aopack BM2508 box maker

Confronted with rising demand for specialised, small-batch packaging, Turkish innovator Kutudeposu sought a production breakthrough. Their challenge? Efficiently manufacturing unique boxes – featuring custom handles, vents, logos, or shapes – without the crippling downtime and costs of traditional die changes and multi-machine workflows. Their solution, deployed in January 2025, was the Aopack BM2508 Automatic Box Maker Machine, sourced through their trusted partner, GFK.

Customer in Turkey chooses BM2508 box maker

Kutudeposu, renowned for quality and customer-centric packaging solutions, selected the Aopack BM2508 Pro – automatic intergreated short run on demand box maker machine – as the ideal technology to overcome their agility bottleneck. This Aopack-engineered all-in-one marvel integrates Board Feeding, Slotting, Scoring, Creasing, Slitting, Trimming, Gluing, Printing, and Handle Die-cutting into a single, compact unit. For Kutudeposu, this meant a fundamental shift in capability.

Kutudeposu's production manager explains: The BM2508 box maker has revolutionised our approach to special orders. Its core advantage lies in unprecedented changeover speed.

Traditional machines requiring physical dies for every unique feature incur hours of downtime. The Aopack BM2508, leveraging its unique modular design, slashes this to a mere 1-6 seconds between jobs. Its cost-effective and easily swappable die-cutting modules allow instant switching for handle holes, vent holes, rounded corners, or custom shapes – eliminating the need for expensive molds. This agility is critical for profitable small-batch production.

Beyond rapid changeover, the Aopack-designed BM2508 box maker delivers crucial integrated capabilities:

1. High-Quality Integrated Branding: Featuring single-color printing via high-quality flexo technology, the machine offers a max. printing area of 500*300mm (LW). Kutudeposu now seamlessly prints marks, logos, warnings, and information directly inline. Touch panel control ensures precision and ease, enhancing brand presentation without secondary processes.
2. Dual Die-Cutting Versatility: The patented dual-handle die-cutting units provide exceptional flexibility. Whether adding ergonomic handles, ventilation, or distinctive shapes, Kutudeposu achieves complex designs efficiently.
3. Streamlined, Labour-Saving Production: Eliminating the need to move boxes between multiple machines drastically reduces handling and labour. The BM2508 box maker integrated Aopack workflow saves significant time previously lost to setup, debugging, and material transfer.
4. The Result? For Kutudeposu, deploying the BM2508 box maker is a strategic enabler. They can now confidently accept and profitably produce smaller runs of highly customized packaging that was previously impractical. Reduced setup times, lower labor, and eliminated mold costs translate directly to improved competitiveness.

The Kutudeposu team summarised: Aopack BM2508 box maker delivers the efficiency in small-batch, high-variability manufacturing we needed. It allows us to serve our customers’ unique requests faster and more cost-effectively, directly growing our special-order business.” This deployment exemplifies how adopting Aopack advanced technology drives operational excellence.
