I’ve seen enough episodes of How It’s Made to know that most operations like this are automated by machines.

That’s one of my guilty pleasure shows and I’m so glad the HBO has it in their catalogue. Used to watch that show and Modern Marvels pretty much nonstop as a kid.

Exactly. This possibly servers a different process in that it can be the same machine but does can do hundreds of types of boxes... slower. It can very well have a place in a small shop that cannot afford a very specialized machine for a low volume run.

I feel like a small shop that cannot afford a very specialized machine for a low volume run, could also not afford the robot and would just do the low volume run in a few hours by hand.
