Abstract
An apparatus for making prototype packaging or boxes for various products includes a support surface for supporting a sheet material and a cutting tool for cutting contour lines of the box from the strip material. The support surface includes a recess to accommodate a bristle insert for providing a bristle surface for the cutting tool to engage during cutting operations. As the cutting tool penetrates the sheet material during the cutting operation and comes into contact with the bristle surface, the cutting tool does not become dulled and does not damage the bristle surface. The bristle surface also supports a creasing operation when crease lines are formed with a creasing tool within the sheet material. Alternatively, the apparatus of the present invention accommodates a grooved insert interchangeable with the bristle insert for creasing operations.
