OPTIBOX is Edda's CNC box-on-demand cutting and creasing machine, using a belt-driven tool-gripping carriage to position its cutting and creasing heads as it turns flat corrugated board into custom box blanks — no pre-stocked box sizes, no die-cutting tools to change.
Longitudinal tool stations run 7 as standard, expandable up to 16, so OPTIBOX scales from simple slotted boxes to more complex die layouts without a hardware change.
A flat cardboard sheet is fed onto the table; the transversal axis positions the sheet at up to 200 m/min while the belt-driven tool carriage runs the longitudinal axis at up to 120 m/min. Cutting, creasing and slotting tools mounted on the stations are set by EDDAWORKS® to the chosen box template, so each sheet is cut to the exact box size on demand — only the size changes between runs, not the tooling.

How is OPTIBOX different from NEOBOX?
OPTIBOX positions its cutting and creasing heads with a belt-driven gripping carriage, while NEOBOX uses an independent axle-driven carriage; both cover the same flute types and box range.
What flute types can OPTIBOX cut?
E, B, C, F/E, E/B, E/C and B/C flute corrugated board, up to 2,500 mm wide and 2–7 mm thick.
Do I need different tooling for each box size?
No — box dimensions are set in EDDAWORKS® software from a library of 50+ templates or a new design, with no physical die change.
