Question 1

Can I get a product demo?

Accepted Answer

Of course. Seeing is believing!  We constantly organize interactive online demos. That means you get access to a platform where you can select a box or inlay model, enter the dimension you want and press the start button. Through a webcam we'll show you all the handling on the Slimbox you controlled, but which is standing in our demo room.  Just get in touch with us, and we'll set it all up for you.

Question 2

Can the Slimbox be used in the office?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It was specifically designed to fit both an office and a production environment. Because it has a standard power plug, you do not need to have special equipment. You can either rent a filtering unit, or simply connect the exhaust to a chimney or tube to remove any smoke and smell. The machine does produce some decibels but only when operating at full power. In an office, the printer or mailing room would be the perfect spot.

Question 3

What is Dimensional Weight?

Accepted Answer

Dimensional weight, also known as volumetric weight or dim weight, is a pricing technique for commercial freight transport (including courier and postal services), which uses an estimated weight that is calculated from the length, width and height of a package.     Shipping costs have historically been calculated on the basis of gross weight in kilograms or pounds. Lightweight, low-density packages become unprofitable for freight carriers due to the amount of space they take up in the truck/aircraft/ship in proportion to their actual weight.  The concept of dimensional weight has been adopted by the transportation industry worldwide as a uniform means of establishing a minimum charge for the cubic space a package occupies.     Every courier or postal service has their own way of determining this weight. More information can be found on the wikipedia page.

Question 4

What does a Slimbox do?

Accepted Answer

A Slimbox can cut drawings out of corrugated cardboard. It was designed to focus on the creation of boxes and inlays for anyone who needs right sized packaging.  The controlling is so easy, that anyone can do it. Just select the model you like, enter the dimensions you need and press start. Thanks to its specifications, the machine can create both very small and very large boxes.  In addition, the machine can also work with your own drawings so you can cut out just about any shape or form. In other words, the Slimbox can also be used for your creative projects.

Question 5

Is the Slimbox a service?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Thanks to that service, you are not only provided with the right equipment and corrugated cardboard for your needs, but it also takes away a lot of worries.  No more running out of boxes, no needs for filler materials (even when the goods can easily break) and no worries about maintenance and support. The Slimbox was built in such a way that it can actually be replaced within minutes.
