Packaging and Corrugation ERP
Kreon's corrugated box ERP software is for box plants and carton printers. In this trade the quote is won or lost on paper weight, so the system works out board size, paper weight and cost from the box dimensions and ply in minutes. Paper is then stocked and consumed reel by reel, which shows how far the real job moved from the quote.

A day's work, in order.
Cost and quote
Enter box size, ply, flute and paper GSM to get sheet size, weight and price.
Book the order
The approved specification is saved, so repeat orders need no fresh calculation.
Plan the deckle
Orders using the same paper are combined across the deckle, the reel width, to reduce trim.
Issue reels
Reels are issued by number, and the balance weight returns to stock after the run.
Convert to boxes
The job card follows the board through printing, die cutting, pasting and stitching.
Bundle and deliver
Bundles are labelled, counted and delivered to the customer's plant as per schedule.

ViewQuestions, answered.
How does the box costing work?
You enter length, width, height, ply, flute type and the GSM of each paper layer. The system calculates sheet size and board weight, allowing for the extra paper the fluting takes, then adds conversion, printing and wastage to give a price per box.
Can it track each paper reel separately?
Yes. Every reel is received with its own number, mill, GSM, deckle and weight. Issues and returns are made reel-wise, so you know the balance on each part-used reel and how much paper each job really consumed.
Will it help us reduce trim waste?
Yes. Deckle planning shows which pending orders can run side by side on a reel width, and how much trim each combination leaves. Actual trim is then recorded per job and shift so you can compare.
Does it cover printed cartons and die-cut boxes?
Yes. Dies, printing blocks and plates are registered and linked to the box design they belong to. The job card shows which die and block to use, and where they are kept.
Does Packaging and Corrugation ERP work on mobile?
Yes. It runs on Web and Android, so people on the floor, in the field or on the road work on the phone while the office works on the full screens.
Can Packaging and Corrugation ERP be changed to fit how my business works?
Yes. Kreon builds and supports it, so screens, reports, approvals and rules are shaped to your process. Tell us what is different about the way you work and we will show you how it fits before anything is built.
