A control system and method for adjustable and flexible control of a box forming machine. The system comprises a controller that is programmable to control the operation of a plurality of machine elements of the box forming machine and an operator interface coupled to the programmable controller. The operator interface comprises a display screen and one or more buttons, or is a touch screen display, to permit user input and a display of information to the user that is generated by the controller. The controller is programmed to store information control information describing a plurality of operational parameters for the plurality of machine elements for each of a plurality of box types; receive a selection from the operator interface to select one of a plurality of box types; monitor a position of a box blank as it is moved through the box forming machine; and generate control signals to control the plurality of machine elements based on operational parameters for the selected box type so that the box forming machine forms one or more boxes of the selected box type.
