CE5000 PACKAGING DESIGN BOX - CUT & CREASE FOLDS

Using CE5000-40 Craft ROBO Pro - Graphtec's desktop, professional cutter plotter and Cutting Master plug-in to Adobe Illustrator CS5, I demonstrate how to send an Adobe Illustrator packaging design to print, then to crease and cut it out using a desktop cutting plotter machine.

How to cut gift boxes and mockup packaging using Adobe Illustrator and automated cutting machine. You can use this cutter and software plug-in to cut out up to 100lb cover, card stock and pre printed heat transfer media.

Although I have a simple Craft Robo, I find this video very interesting. I would love to understand a bit more about cutting speed, when a slower or a quicker one is preferred.

Thanks for uploading this.

What I've found is that a moderately slower speed (15-25 setting) is best for accuracy on thicker material such as this 100lb cover cardstock. When cutting thinner, more malleable material, the slowest setting I use is 40. But again, for fine detail such as small fonts and circles, a slower speed setting is best.

Even though a vinyl or a cardstock is rated at a specific thickness, brands still vary in their production quality. Making test cuts on your various media is recommended.

The specs say that the maximum thickness of material is 0.25mm but what you're using seems to be much thicker. Won't it damage the machine?

Thanks for the demo.

@pobelhaft

el tipo de papel que se uso es cartulina de 220g o 10puntos. se monto sobre el carrier sheet que vende Graphtec (que en Latino America se puede comprar con un distribuidor Graphtec) al igual se uso

la cuchilla que viene con el plotter(capuchon azul) pero con un material mas grueso es recomendado usar la cuchilla Cb15u. en mexico tenemos a Avance y Tecnologia, Plastimundo, 100% vinil, soluciones siempre como distribuidores.

@pobelhaft i am from Mexico, so I apologize for my bad English ...

I have a Graphtec C-500 060 I use to cut vinyl ... but I would like to know what type of blade used for that role, and if it is needed the backing sheet?

Actually I have no idea where to find the backing sheet ...

[pobelhaft]

hola soy de México, así que pido disculpas por mi mala Inglés ...

Tengo un Graphtec C-500060 que utilizo para cortar vinilo ... pero me gustaría saber qué tipo de hoja que utilizó para ese papel, y si es muy necesaria la hoja de soporte?

Realmente no tengo idea de dónde encontrar la hoja de soporte ...
