Q1: What materials can REMEYA cardboard cutting machines handle?

A: REMEYA cardboard cutting machines are designed to process a wide range of paper-based packaging materials, including:

• Folding carton (e.g., CCNB, SBS, kraft board)

• White cardboard

• Single-wall and double-wall corrugated board (B, C, E, F flute)

• Honeycomb board
  The multi-tool head allows you to cut, crease, kiss-cut, and mark these materials in a single setup, streamlining sample making and short-run production.

Q2: Do I still need steel dies for samples and small orders?

A: For samples, prototypes, and small to medium batch production (e.g., 10–500 pieces), you can produce boxes, displays, and structural designs directly from digital files without steel dies. REMEYA machines use an oscillating knife for clean cuts and a creasing wheel or drag creaser for precise fold lines.
This eliminates tooling costs and lead time (no waiting for die boards), and is ideal for frequent design revisions, customized packaging, and just-in-time production. For very large volumes (tens of thousands), steel dies may still be more economical, but many users never need them again after switching to digital cutting.

Q3: Can the machine replace manual sample-making completely?

A: Yes. REMEYA digital cardboard cutting machines can take over most manual cutting and creasing tasks for packaging samples, prototypes, and short-run orders. They improve accuracy, speed, and repeatability compared to hand-cutting with X-Acto knives and rulers.
You may still use manual tools for extremely simple cuts or one-off rough mockups, but for any structural design that requires precision (e.g., lock-bottom boxes, tuck flaps, inserts), the digital machine delivers consistent, professional results. Operators only need to load the board, run the CAD file, and then easily fold and glue the cut piece.

Q4: What software and file formats are supported?

A: REMEYA digital cutters are compatible with common packaging CAD file formats used in structural design, including:

• DXF, DWG (AutoCAD)

• AI (Adobe Illustrator, with proper layer naming)

• AECC (ArtiosCAD native format)

• CFF2 (common for cutting tables)
  You can import box layouts, nesting plans, and crease/cut layer assignments. REMEYA provides training on file preparation (e.g., assigning cut/crease colors and line types) and workflow integration so the machine fits seamlessly into your existing design-to-production process.

Q5: What cutting and creasing tools are available?

A: REMEYA cardboard cutters feature a multi-tool head that can hold different tools and switch automatically (or semi-automatically depending on model):

• Oscillating knife – for clean cutting of corrugated board, grey board, and folding carton without crushing edges

• Drag knife – for thin paperboards and kiss-cutting labels

• Creasing wheel – creates sharp, consistent fold lines without cracking the board

• Pen marker – for adding assembly notes, part numbers, or fold indicators

• V-cut tool (optional) – for grooving thick honeycomb board or creating beveled edges

Q6: What is the typical cutting accuracy?

A: REMEYA cardboard cutting machines achieve ±0.1 mm to ±0.2 mm accuracy on most boards, depending on material thickness and flute type. This level of precision ensures that tabs, slots, and crease lines align perfectly during folding and gluing, eliminating rework.

Q7: Can I cut multiple layers of corrugated board at once?

A: For thin paperboards (e.g., folding carton), a drag knife can sometimes cut two layers. However, for corrugated board or grey board, single-layer cutting is strongly recommended to maintain edge quality, avoid crushing flutes, and ensure accurate creasing. REMEYA machines are designed for high-speed single-sheet processing.

Q8: How does the vacuum table work for holding cardboard in place?

A: REMEYA cutting tables feature a zone-controlled vacuum system that holds flat cardboard sheets securely during cutting and creasing. This prevents shifting, even when cutting complex shapes. For small or narrow pieces, you can also use low-tack adhesive film or manual clamps. The vacuum zones can be turned on/off to match the sheet size, saving energy.

Q9: What kind of training and support does REMEYA provide?

A: REMEYA provides:

• On-site installation and operation training (or online remote training for overseas customers)

• Detailed guidance on file preparation and tool parameter settings (speed, force, crease depth) for different board types

• Preventive maintenance schedules (blade changing, creasing wheel cleaning, vacuum filter checks)

• Lifetime technical support via phone, email, or remote desktop assistance
  Spare parts (blades, creasing wheels, brushes, filters) are readily available from regional warehouses.

Q10: Can I use the same machine for both cardboard and other materials like foam or vinyl?

A: Some REMEYA models are dedicated to cardboard and corrugated board, but many multi-purpose digital cutters can process cardboard, PVC foam board, acrylic, foam board, and vinyl by simply changing the tool and adjusting settings. If your shop handles multiple material types, please inform REMEYA at the time of inquiry — we can recommend a versatile machine configuration that meets all your needs without compromise.
