CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Packing, in a way represents the extent of industrialization of a country. The more industrially
advanced , the more advanced is its state of packaging. Estimates indicate that packaging
represents 5% of total cost and prevents loses to the tune of 20%. Corrugated boxes have made
significant strides in packaging either as a primary pack, secondary pack or as a transport
container. Corrugated boxes have successfully replaced other packaging and are now being
widely used for packaging fruits, vegetables, canned foods, chemicals, pharmaceuticals,
electrical appliances, garments etc.
Corrugated fiberboard is a material consisting of a fluted corrugated sheet and one or two flat
linerboards. It is made on "flute lamination machines" or "corrugators" and is used in the
manufacture of shipping containers and corrugated boxes.
The corrugated medium and linerboard board both are made of kraft containerboard, a
paperboard material usually over 0.01 inches (0.25 mm) thick. Corrugated fiberboard and
paperboard are sometimes called corrugated cardboard, although cardboard might be any heavy
paper-pulp based board.
Corrugated Paper boxes are extensively used in the packaging of industrial as well as consumer
goods. In some of products like crockery, electronic items, automobile components, glass and
cigarettes, pharmaceuticals, soaps & cosmetics, biscuits, hosiery, toys, rubber & rubber
products, refrigerator, cooler & fans, proper type of packaging becomes very important.
Several properties and characteristics can be measured for corrugated board. Included are;
• Edge crush test
• Burst strength
• Flat crush test
• Bending resistance
• Impact resistance
• Cushioning, shock absorption[4]

Dhakkan interview
• Tear resistance
• Grammage (mass per unit of area) for components and for combined board
Corrugated fiberboard has a higher stiffness (resistance to bending) than flat fiberboard of equal
mass, especially parallel to the corrugations. This can be explained by the Theorema Egregium.
The pleated board is roughly isometric to a flat plane, which has a Gaussian curvature of 0.
Since the material is curved in one direction, perpendicular to the pleats, it must remain flat in
the direction parallel to the pleats.

Dhakkan interview
CHAPTER 2 2.1:- MARKET POTENTIAL
With the steady rise in the industrial production, the demand for corrugated paper boxes
increasing every year. These boxes have got distinct advantages such as light in weight, easy
to fabricate as per required specifications. The corrugated papers and boards may also find
market in the rural areas for packing of fruits, vegetables & eggs.
The corrugated box industry is an inevitable part of manufacturing sectors which rely heavily
on ample corrugated packaging for finished goods transportation and handling. Despite this
importance, the Indian corrugated box industry has faced numerous challenges and hurdles in
its growth pace due to the very nature of the industry comprising thousands of small players
running manual/semi-automatic plants to cater to the needs of local nearby industries.
However, the tide of liberalization and globalization has brought new ray of hope for Indian
manufacturers who are now more willing to upgrade technology and turn into completely
automatic lines capable of faster, quality driven and economical production.
Market analysis of corrugated box packaging
Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global corrugated box packaging market to
grow at a CAGR of around 5% during the forecast period. The increased demand from the
ecommerce industry is driving the growth of this market. Online retailers use different types of
corrugated boxes based on the kind of product transported to ensure the safety of the products.
Effective packaging is fast becoming one of the key business requirements in the e-commerce
marketplace.
The growth of the processed food industry is also expected to contribute to the market growth
during the forecast period. The packaging of processed food requires secure and flexible
packaging material, which is convenient to the customer and also ensures product safety. As
consumers look for convenient, easy-to-use, and lightweight packaging, innovative paperboard
packaging solutions are being developed by packaging manufacturers to tap the growing
organized retail and processed food market.

Glassware and ceramics
Paper products
Chemicals
Textile goods
Other non-durable goods
The food and beverage products segment dominated the corrugated box packaging market
during 2015 with a market share of 42%. The increased demand for processed food products,
especially in Latin America is driving the growth of this segment. This report anticipates this
segment to retain its market leadership and reach a market value of around USD 32 billion by
the end of 2020.
2.3:- Geographical segmentation of the corrugated box packaging market
Americas
APAC
EMEA
The Americas accounted for 41% of the market share during 2015 and is expected to reach a
market value of around USD 31 billion by the end of 2020. The growth of the e-commerce
industry in this region has been driving the market growth. The US is the largest market for
corrugated boxes in this region due to the increase in cross-border trade and huge demand for
online shopping.

Dhakkan interview
2.4:-Competitive landscape and key vendors
The market is highly fragmented with the presence of numerous local and international
suppliers. Vendors in this market compete on the basis of product differentiation, portfolio, and

CHAPTER 3
BASIS AND PRESUMPTIONS
The estimates are drawn for a production, capacity generally techno economically viable for
model type of manufacturing activity. The information supplied is based on a standard type of
manufacturing activity utilizing conventional technique of production and optimum levels of
performance. The costs in respect of machinery and equipment’s, raw materials and selling
prices of the furnished products etc. are those generally obtaining at the time of the preparation
of project profiles and may vary depending upon various factors. Whereas some names of
manufacturing/supplies of machinery and equipments, raw material are indicated at the end of
profile, these are by no means exclusive or exhaustive.
Corrugated board can be classified as under :
1. Single faced corrugated Board (2 ply)
2. Double faced corrugated Board (3 ply or single wall)
3. Double wall corrugated Board (5 ply or double wall)
4. Triple wall corrugated Board (7 ply)

Dhakkan interview
CHAPTER 4
TECHNICAL ASPECTS
4.1. Process of Manufacturing
Calculation has been based on single corrugated sheet pasted with one sheet of craft paper.
Two paper reels are run together on corrugated machine. One layer of paper becomes
corrugated after passing through the heated fluted rolls and other is brought in contact with the
former having been glued at the tips. These two get pasted together and are wound in rolls.
These will be procured on job work. By cutting this roll with board cutters and gluing the
corrugated side on pasting machine. A double face board is produced by the 3rd ply of paper
over it. This board is kept under a sheet pressing machines for some time for setting of wet
glued sheets. Similarly board to board can be pasted to form thicker board i.e. 5 Ply, 7 Ply and
9 Ply etc.
4.2:-Operations
The process of manufacturing boxes or containers constitutes five operations.
1. Slitting or longitudinal Cutting
2. Creasing
3. Slotting
4. Flap or Corner Cutting
5. Stitching
After passing the sheet through these operations, a Box or a Container is ready.
Slitting and Creasing operations can simultaneously be carried over a 4-bar Rotary
Cutting Machine & Creasing Machine. The trimmed and creased sheet is slotted and
flap cut on an Eccentric Slotter Machine. Finally, it is either stitched over a Stitching
Machine or glued/taped manually. For Partition boxes, the half slotted boards are used,
which can conveniently be produced over a Partition Slotter Machine.
