One system for box specifications, paper reels, board runs, dies and strength tests.
Box specifications, liner and medium reel stock, corrugator planning, converting routes, cutting dies, strength tests, bundles and invoices sit together. Each order carries its ply, flute, board grade and print colours, and each board run carries the reels it consumed. Estimators, planners, machine crews, testers and dispatch staff read the same record, from the buyer’s first size enquiry to the strapped pallet.
- Box styles, plies and flutes typed in using each buyer’s own wording
- Buyer list, die register and reel counts copied in from what you hold today
- Planning and test-rule changes made afterwards by our own staff, whenever you need them
Corrugated box plants run orders, paper reels, corrugator planning and converting routes in Corrugated Box Manufacturer Management Software, which GullySystem configures for cases, trays and die-cut boxes. Each board run links its liner and medium reels to the burst and compression tests taken from it. Bundle counts and print details follow the buyer’s approved sample into the delivery.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Enquiry and estimate
A buyer gives box size, ply, flute and print. The estimator works out the blank, the board grade and the sheets per tonne.
- 2
Specification approval
The box specification and print proof are confirmed against the buyer’s saved version before the order is booked.
- 3
Paper check
Liner and medium reels are checked against stock by grammage and width, and purchasing orders any shortfall.
- 4
Board run
Orders of like width are grouped on the corrugator. Each run notes the reels it consumed.
- 5
Converting
Sheets pass through the printer slotter, rotary die cutter, stitcher or gluer with the right die and plates fitted.
- 6
Testing, packing and dispatch
Samples are tested, boxes are bundled and strapped, and a packing list goes with the load.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Quote & Proposal Management
Quotes are built from blank size, board weight, print colours and tooling, and a revised price for the next enquiry sits beside the earlier one.
- Goods Receipt (GRN)
Each reel is booked on arrival with grammage, width and supplier lot before it can be issued to a board run.
- Production Planning
Orders of like width are grouped on the corrugator, and the board shows which run feeds which converting machine this week.
- Batch and Serial Tracking
Every board run takes a number that ties its sheets back to the liner and medium reels loaded on the stands.
- Quality Control
Burst, edge crush and compression readings are entered against the board run, and a run outside its limits is held from dispatch.
- Fixed Asset Register
Each cutting die, creasing rule and plate is listed with impressions run, repair history and rack position.
- Barcodes and Labels
Bundle labels print in the buyer’s layout with the job number the packing list shows, so the dock can match both.
- Work Order Management
The printer slotter or die cutter receives a job with its sheets, die and plates listed, and the crew closes it with counts.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For owners
See board runs, reel cover, trim by shift, tests outstanding and balances by buyer.
For estimators and sales
Build box quotations from stored blank sizes and tooling, and reopen an older revision.
For corrugator and converting crews
Read the day’s queue, the reels to load and the die and plates to fit for each job.
For quality staff
Enter burst and compression results, set sample sizes and decide whether a run is released.
For the reel store and loading bay
Reels are booked in at the gate and issued to the corrugator. Counted, labelled bundles leave from the loading bay.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Board runs by flute and width
- Reel use against sheets produced
- Trim per order and shift
- Tests per run with pass or hold status
- Dies and plates by impressions since repair
- Bundles dispatched by buyer
- Open invoices per buyer, longest unpaid at the top
Who this is built for.
- Plants that run a corrugator and several converting machines
- Box makers who buy board sheets and convert only
- Makers of die-cut trays and wrap-around boxes for retail packs
- Export packers’ suppliers who need heavy-duty cases
- Companies whose buyers ask for compression test records
When it is not the right choice.
- Cutting a few boxes by hand from bought sheets is simple enough to run from a paper book.
- Printers of thin paperboard cartons will find Folding Carton Manufacturer Management Software closer.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Can a board run be traced to its paper reels?
Yes. Each corrugator run records the liner and medium reels it drew from. A box order opens to the run, the reel lots and the tests taken from it.
How does it help with trim waste?
Reel width, board width and run length are recorded for each run. The trim report then shows which orders left the most waste, and your estimators can revise their allowance.
Can it hold a die and plate for each repeat order?
Yes. Each box specification points to its cutting die, creasing rule and plates, and the register shows the rack position and impressions run.
How are burst and compression results entered?
A technician enters the sample size, the reading and the result at the lab bench or on a tablet. A run that fails its limits is held back from dispatch.
Can different flutes run through one plant?
Yes. B, C, E and double-wall boards each have their own grades and reel needs. Planning shows which flute is on the corrugator each day.
Does it manage buyers who want their own bundle labels?
It stores each buyer’s bundle count and label layout, and prints them from the packing screen so the dock does not rewrite them.
Can we start with live orders?
Yes. Orders still open, box specs and reel stock are copied in from your sheets. The first live run waits until planners have matched them to what stands on the floor.
Which files do we get back on exit?
Board specifications, runs and strength test results come out as files in the format agreed in the quotation. Nothing is held back at exit.
How is pricing set?
Cost grows with users, corrugator and converting machines, and box styles set up. A figure comes after a demo built on your own case and tray orders.
