Food & Beverage
Ventilated die-cut produce trays, heavy-duty beverage distribution cartons, and fast-food packaging produced on flexo printer slotter die cutters.
Food and beverage is the largest consuming sector for corrugated boxes, relying on inline die-cutting for breathability, moisture management, and rapid automated filling. A flexo printer slotter die cutter produces ventilated produce trays, heavy-duty beverage cases, and stackable fast-food boxes in one high-throughput line.
Challenges We Solve in This Market
Produce spoilage from poor airflow
Fresh fruit and vegetables suffocate and rot in sealed boxes. Specialized die-cut ventilation holes deliver controlled airflow that extends shelf life and reduces spoilage across the cold chain.
Heavy-load box failure
Beverage cases carrying bottles of water, beer, or wine collapse or rupture under stacked pallet weight. Heavy-duty slotted containers with precise creasing hold heavy loads without failure.
Slow automated filling
Irregular box geometry jams automated filling lines. Consistent, servo-synchronized slotting and scoring produces standardized boxes that feed filling machinery without stoppages.
The Dedicated Machine Combination
A flexo printer slotter die cutter combines feeding, multi-color flexo printing, computerized slotting, servo rotary die-cutting, and stacking in one inline line — ideal for high-volume food and beverage production.
Servo lead-edge feeder
Consistent, pressure-free feeding reduces board damage during transfer — critical for food-grade corrugated that must stay clean and intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the machine cut ventilation holes for fresh produce boxes?
Yes. The servo rotary die cutter produces specialized ventilation holes in one pass, delivering controlled airflow that extends shelf life for fresh fruit and vegetable trays.
What board type is best for heavy beverage cases?
Double-wall BC-flute provides the stacking strength needed for cases carrying bottled water, beer, or wine under pallet weight, while precise computerized creasing prevents collapse.
