Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

PREFACE
The internship is an indispensable part of MBA(finance) 3 ½ year program,
because through this training students come to know the genuine divergence
between theory and practical versions of knowledge. At the same time future
executives are also introduced to the external business world. A critical
prerequisite of internship program is to assemble a report concerning the
activities of the organization is which internship is completed by the learning
executive.
Considering its convention and purpose of grooming the best executives of
future, has prearranged a comprehensive internship-training program. All of my
class fellows including me were placed in leading organizations of business world
to get firsthand knowledge and practical insight into their administration and
operation. So, when I was given the chance of selecting an organization, I opted
for “Treet Group of Companies”.
The experience of working in a big organization, established almost ----------
before today was an adventure in itself. All the employees were tremendously
supportive, helpful, knowledgeable and cooperative. It was not the first time that
the organization had the experience of interns and that summer the organization
had approximately one hundred interns from various institutes working on several
projects. All the employees under whom I worked were having an excellent
experience. This internship endowed me with grand opportunity to equip myself
with knowledge, application and tools used in a manufacturing concern.
The medium of information for the preparation of report includes extensive web
search, Annual reports and website of Treet Group of Companies.

Introductionand History
Treet Corporation Limited - Holding Company is one of the oldest and largest
business groups of Pakistan. It was incorporated as a Public Limited Company in
Pakistan in 1977 under Companies Act, 1913 (now Companies Ordinance,

Area Of Internship
I have done internship in Packaging Solution a unit of Treet Corporation Ltd.
Packaging solution is a corrugation Plant where corrugated Cartons are made.
What is packaging?
Packaging is the combination of science, art, and technology of enclosing or
protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use in future.
What is labeling?
Labeling is any written word, graphical mark or electronic communications on the
packaging container.
Need of Packaging
In everyday life, human being consumed large amount of food belonging to the
natural things where these things are found, But as the time pass there is a need
to preserve that material so that it can be utilized in come hereafter as a source
of income by sale of that good. So there were bit requirements for the packaging
of the food material for transportation from one village to another and stored.
As the food material is transported from one village to another village there are
no of factors which influenced a bad impact on that material. So there is a need
to prevent the food from environmental conditions that are not favorable for the
natural things. In the early periods of time the natural things are used to preserve
that food material. When containers were needed, natures provide gourds, shells
and leaves for used. After a short spam of life, the packaging material was
fashioned from natural materials such as hollowed logs, woven grasses and
animal organs.

Today packaging materials is the result of innovation of new technologies and
which enhanced the quality of that natural materials. As the ores and metals are
discover the packaging material is growing day by day.
Purposes of Packaging
Packaging is used for several purposes:
Physical Protection
The material or goods enclosed in the container may require the physical
protection from the vibration, mechanical shocks and temperature.
Barrier Protection
The goods enclosed in the packaging material may require the barrier like
water vapors, Oxygen, some chemicals requires sun barrier are kept in brown
glass bottles.
Quantity Purchased
Packaging contains products, defining the amount the consumer will
purchase.
Information Transmission
Packaging material contain the labels which communicate the consumer that
how to use, transport, recycle, or dispose of the package or product.
Security
There are a less chances of the security risk for shipment of the product.
Packaging can be made strengthen so as to protect the product to be perish
in the transportation. Packaging can also be used as antitheft devices, such
as dye-packs tags that can be activated or deducted by devices at exit points
and require specialized tools to deactivate. Using packaging in this way is a
mean of loss prevention.
Protects products from contamination, from environment damage and from

HISTORY OF PACKAGING
Paper and Paper Products
Bark of Mulberry was first used as packaging by Chinese in the beginning. Paper
is the first form of packaging material which is currently known as “flexible
packaging”. Paper making techniques are invented and upgraded day by day
and first paper was invented by the person “Francis Wolle” in 1840 during his
working on a bag manufacturing in England. Now a day, paper Is manufactured
with the wood pulp. There are also added some raw papers with the wood pulp
and the raw material for manufacturing the good quality papers used in
manufacturing the packaging paper.
Card board boxes are also invented in England after the invention of the Card
Board in China. Now the cardboard boxes and paper made carton are used to
trade different ornaments and useable item in all over the world. The packaging
material is not only limited to carton and card board boxes, it also contain glass
boxes and metal boxes.
Invention Of Carton Bags:
As we know there are many inventions that were invented by accident, for
example the development of the carton by Robert Gair, a Brooklyn printer and
paper-bag maker. During the 1870s as he was completing an order of seed bags,
he used metal rule to crease bags shifting in position and cut; he realized that if
he used the board he could used paperboard just in the same way he cut bags.
Gair concluded that cutting and creasing paperboard in one operation would
have advantages; the first automatically made carton, now referred to as “semi-
flexible packaging” was created.

Invention of labeling:
The advance of flaked cereals develops the use of paperboard cartons. The
Kellogg brothers were the first, who use cereal cartons at Battle Creek, Michigan
Sanatorium. When this “health food” was later marketed to the messes, a waxed,
heat sealed bag of Waxtite was wrapped around the outside of a plan box. The
outer wrapped was printed with the brand name. Today, of course, the plastic
liner is used to protect cereals and other products within the printed carton.
Paper and Paperboard packaging increased in popularity well into the 20th
century, but with the advent of plastic packaging in late 1970s and early 1980s
paper and its related products tended to fade In use. Lately the trend has been
halted as designers try to respond to environmental concerns.

How Products Are Made
Corrugated Cardboard
Background
Most items at your favorite supermarket, discount store, or shopping mall were
safely delivered in boxes made of corrugated cardboard, and many are displayed
in the same boxes, which were manufactured so they could be opened and used
for this purpose. Other items may arrive in their own corrugated or uncorrugated
paperboard boxes. Because corrugated cardboard is such a versatile packaging
material, millions of tons are used each year to protect and display products.
During 1992, more than 25 million tons of corrugated cardboard were produced
in the United States. Another 6 million tons of uncorrugated boxboard or
paperboard were also produced for use in folding cartons.
Corrugated cardboard is a stiff, strong, and light-weight material made up of
three layers of brown kraft paper. In 1884, Swedish chemist, Carl F. Dahl,
37. Treet Corporation Ltd.
Page | 22
developed a process for pulping wood chips into a strong paper that resists
tearing, splitting, and bursting. He named it the kraft process because it produces
a strong paper that resists tearing, splitting, and bursting.
From the paper mill, rolls of kraft paper are transported to a corrugating, or
converting, plant. At the plant, layers of kraft paper are crimped and glued to form
corrugated cardboard, which is then cut, printed, folded, and glued to make
boxes. At the beginning of this process, kraft rolls from the paper mill are loaded
into a huge machine called a corrugator. A typical corrugator is as long as a
football field—300 feet (91.44 meters). Some rolls of kraft paper are used as the
corrugating medium, and others are used as liners, the layers of kraft paper
glued on each side of the medium. After the corrugator has heated, glued, and
pressed the kraft paper to form corrugated cardboard, the continuous sheet of
cardboard is cut into wide box blanks that then go to other machines for printing,
cutting, and gluing. Finally, batches of finished boxes are banded together for
shipping to the food processor, toy maker, parts distributor, or any of the
thousands of businesses that depend on corrugated cardboard packaging.
Raw Materials
Fast-growing pine trees provide the primary raw material used to make
corrugated cardboard. The largest packaging companies own thousands of acres
of land where trees are matured, harvested, and replaced with seedlings. After
the trees are harvested, they are stripped of their limbs; only the trunks will be
shipped by truck to a pulp mill. The largest packaging companies also own the
mills where trees are converted to kraft paper. At the mill, the harvested tree
trunks are subjected to the kraft process, also known as the sulfate process
because of the chemicals used to break down wood chips into fibrous pulp. After
pulping and other processing, the fibers are sent directly to the paper machine
where they are formed, pressed, dried, and rolled into the wide, heavy rolls of
kraft paper sent to corrugating plants to be made into cardboard.
At the corrugating plant, only a few other raw materials are needed to make a
finished box. Corn starch glue is used to bond the corrugated medium to the liner
sheets. Because so much glue is used, rail cars or large tanker trucks deliver it
38. Treet Corporation Ltd.
Page | 23
as a dry powder that will be stored in huge silos at the corrugating plant until it is
needed. Drawn from the silo, the dry corn starch is mixed with water and other
chemicals and pumped into the corrugator to be spread on the corrugated
medium as the layers of liner are added. Other raw materials are used to finish
the corrugated cardboard after production. Waxes made from paraffin or
vegetable oils can be applied to make a water- or grease-resistant container for
food products. Brightly colored inks are also applied to create bold graphic
designs for self-supporting displays featuring product name, information, and
company name and logo. Teams of salespeople and designers work together to
create the manufacturing and printing patterns, called dies, that are used to cut
and print a specific box design. The dies are created in a pattern shop and
transferred to the rotary die-cutting equipment and printers that finish the box
blanks.
Design
Kraft paper has been manufactured since 1906. Since then, pulp processing,
paper making, and corrugating operations have been developed to a high state
of efficiency and productivity. Today, in the corrugated cardboard industry,
designers are creating innovative containers that require four-color printing and
complex die-cutting. These innovative containers are designed with sophisticated
software such as computer-aided design (CAD) programs, allowing a packaging
designer to brainstorm different package designs before manufacturing begins. A
designer using a CAD program can call up and modify different designs that have
been stored in a computer design library. Thus, existing packages can generate
new designs. Many retail stores use such light, strong, and colorful containers
directly, as point-of-purchase displays.

The Manufacturing Process
Pulping the pine chips
1) Manufacturing a corrugated cardboard box begins with the pulping of wood
chips in the kraft (sulfate) process. First, tree trunks are stripped of bark and
torn into small chips. Next, these chips are placed in a large, high-pressure
tank called a batch digester, where they are cooked in a solution, or liquor,
made of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and several other ionic compounds such
as sulfates, sulfides, and sulfites. These strongly alkaline chemicals dissolve
the lignin, the glue-like substance that holds the individual wood fibers
together in a tree trunk.
2) When the pressure is released after several hours, the wood chips explode
like popcorn into fluffy masses of fiber.
Making kraft paper
3) After additional cleaning and refining steps, a consistent slurry of wood pulp is
pumped to the paper-making machine, also known as a Fourdrinier
machine. Gigantic, square structures up to 600 feet long (182.88 meters),
these machines contain a wire mesh in which the paper is initially formed.
Next, the paper is fed into massive, steam-heated rollers and wide felt
blankets that remove the water. At the end, the finished medium, or liner, is
rolled for shipment.
Shipping and storing the craft paper
4) Rolls of kraft paper for corrugating are available in many sizes to fit the
production equipment at different corrugating plants. The most common roll
sizes are 67 inches (170.18 centimeters) wide and 87 inches (220.98
centimeters) wide. An 87-inch roll of heavier paper can weigh up to 6,000
pounds (2,724 kilograms). As many as 22 rolls of 87-inch paper can be
loaded into one railroad boxcar for shipment to a corrugating plant.
40. Treet Corporation Ltd.
Page | 25
5) At the plant, the kraft paper is separated into different grades, which will be
used for the medium and the liner. These different grades of corrugated
cardboard can be made by combining different grades of kraft paper. A
knowledgeable packaging specialist works with a customer to determine the
strength required for the corrugated cardboard container being planned.
Then, when a plant receives an order for containers, a product engineer
specifies the combination of medium and liner to produce a cardboard to
match the customer's requirement.
Corrugating the cardboard
6) Using powerful fork-lifts, skilled equipment operators select, move, and load
rolls of kraft paper at one end of the corrugator.
41. Treet Corporation Ltd.
Page | 26
Corrugated cardboard manufacture includes two key steps: making kraft
paper and corrugating the cardboard. Kraft paper involves pulping wood chips
and then feeding the resulting paper substance through massive steam rollers
that remove the water.
Corrugating is also done in a machine that utilizes heavy rollers. One roll of
cardboard is corrugated and then glued between two other layers (liners) by the
same machine. The glue is then cured by passing the cardboard over heated
rolls.
42. Treet Corporation Ltd.
Page | 27
7) One roll of medium is loaded to run through the corrugating rolls, and a roll of
liner is fed into the corrugator to be joined with the corrugated medium. Liner
from another roll travels up over the corrugating rolls along a flat structure
called the bridge. This liner will be glued to the corrugated medium later in the
process.
8) For a large production run, additional rolls are loaded into automatic splicers.
Sensitive detectors check the rolls of paper feeding into the corrugator. When
a roll is nearly empty, the corrugator control system starts a splicer, and paper
from the new roll is joined to the end of the paper going through the machine.
Thus, production of corrugated cardboard is continuous, and no production
speed is lost.
9) The medium to be corrugated is fed into the giant, electrically driven rollers of
the corrugator, first through the preheating rollers and then into the
corrugating rolls. Steam at 175 to 180 pounds of pressure per square inch
(psi) is forced through both sets of rollers, and, as the paper passes through
them, temperatures reach 350 to 365 degrees Fahrenheit (177 to 185
degrees Celsius).
10)The corrugating rolls are covered with I O flutes —horizontal, parallel ridges
like the teeth of massively wide gears. When the hot paper passes between
the corrugating rolls, the flutes trap and bend it, forming the middle part of a
sheet of corrugated cardboard. Each corrugating machine has
interchangeable corrugating rolls featuring different flute sizes.
43. Treet Corporation Ltd.
Page | 28
A finished piece of corrugated cardboard consists of a single corrugated layer
sandwiched between two liner layers.
flute size in the corrugator changes the width of the corrugated medium.
11)The medium travels next to a set of rollers called the single-facer glue station.
Here, one layer of liner is glued to the medium. Starch glue is carefully
applied to the corrugated edges of the medium, and the first layer of liner is
added. From the single-facer, the medium and liner go to the double-backer
glue station where the other layer of liner from the bridge is added following
the same procedure. Continuing through the corrugator, the cardboard
passes over steam-heated plates that cure the glue.
Forming the blanks into boxes
12)At the end of corrugator, a slitter-scorer trims the cardboard and cuts it into
large sheets called box blanks. Box blanks pop out of the slitter-scorer like
wide slices of toast and slide into an automatic stacker that loads them onto a
large, rolling platform. From here, they will be transported to the other
machines that will convert them into finished containers. Skilled production
workers use a computer terminal and printer to prepare a job ticket for each
stack of box blanks produced by the corrugator. With the job ticket, workers
can route the stack to the right fabrication machines, called flexos (the name
is short for flexographic machine). A flexo is a wide, flat machine that
processes box blanks.
13)Printing dies and die-cutting patterns I 3 are prepared in a pattern shop on
large, flexible sheets of rubber or tin. The dies and patterns are loaded onto
the large rollers in the flexo, and the box blanks are automatically fed through
it. As each blank passes through the rollers of the flexo, it is trimmed, printed,
cut, scored, and, in a printer-folder-gluer, folded and glued to form a box.
From the flexo, the finished boxes are automatically stacked and sent to a
banding machine to be wrapped for shipping. Other equipment in a
corrugating plant includes stand-alone die-cutters, die-cutters with print
stations, and machines known as curtain coaters that apply a wax coating to
fruit, vegetable, and meat containers. Box blanks requiring only simple, one-
44. Treet Corporation Ltd.
Page | 29
color printing and die-cutting can be run through a stand-alone die-cutter,
print station, and curtain coater to produce water- or grease-resistant
containers.
Quality Control
Quality control begins with the suppliers of the kraft paper used to make
corrugated cardboard. Kraft paper must be smooth and strong. After the paper
passes through the corrugator and is made into box blanks, individual blanks are
pulled from a stack and tested. The Cobb test measures moisture in the liner and
medium. Glue strength, bursting strength, compression, and highly accurate
dimensional tests determine the quality of the manufacturing process. A warp
test determines the flatness of the box blank, insuring that each blank will travel
smoothly through the flexo machines. As skilled workers run batches of box
blanks through the flexo machines, individual boxes are pulled and inspected.
Trimming, cutting, and scoring must be correct. No damage to the cardboard is
allowed. Also, the different layers of colored ink used in color printing must be
perfectly aligned.
The Future
Future corrugated containers will be manufactured using kraft paper produced
from recycled packaging rather than trees. Recycling and other environmentally
friendly processes will continue to grow in importance in the future of corrugated
cardboard. Today, inks based on soybean oil and biodegradable waxes and
other coatings are beginning to be used in container manufacturing. Leading
packaging companies are already operating paper mills that make fresh, clean
kraft paper by de-inking and pulping used containers.

SELECTION OF THIS COMPANY
WHY… ????
Ali Group is currently one of the oldest and most successful business
groups in the country. After the immense success of Treet Corporation Limited
(rated in the top 25 companies in KSE), the company has decided to develop into
corrugated box making industry. A new company by the name of Packaging
Solutions has been formed which is to be the first ever organized corrugated
company with online database dealing with imported raw materials.
Fully automated machinery accented by highly sensitive computer
controlled system along with the state-of-the-art IT mainframe is being introduced
for the customers. For the first time in Pakistan video conferencing is being made
available for all large customers providing an even more direct access.
Customers will have complete access to numerous services like placing orders
online, discuss and change designs, check status of orders, make payments and
get pricing done all online from the comfort of their own home or office 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year will all be done in real time. Getting
appointments to place orders, looking for sales officers, busy phone numbers,
not receiving invoices in time will all be a thing of the past. This will not only save
our customers' valuable time and effort but will also cut the lead times to mere 7-
10 days instead of six weeks which is the current industry norm. In this day and
age, automation is the name of the game. And at Packaging
Solutions......innovations are us.

Packaging Solutions manufactures corrugated cartons,
corrugated containers and fiber boxes
Packaging Solutions manufactures corrugated boxes, corrugated containers
and fiber boxes. Corrugated boxes have brought to packaging a cushioned
protection, light weight, ease of handling and storage. The benefits of mechanical
methods in opening, filling, sealing and handling together with attractive
appearance increases the merchandising opportunities for our customers.
Corrugated board is a highly versatile material, from light weight micro
flute materials used for the packaging of fast foods to heavy weight multi flute
materials used for packing washing machines, fridge and TVs etc.
The term 'fiber' refers to corrugated board, except when the term 'solid
fiber' is used. Corrugated board combines great stiffness and rigidity with high
cushioning ability. The flutes of the corrugated medium are anchored at both
sides to liners forming a continuous arch structure much like the truss structure of
a bridge. Because of this basic truss stress formulas apply similarly to corrugated
board.
Since so many different types of products are packaged, stored and shipped in
corrugated boxes, under a wide variation of conditions, different types of boards
have been developed.
49. Treet Corporation Ltd.
Page | 34
The demand for corrugated boxes is projected to climb over 2.1 percent per year to
nearly US$35 billion in 2009. Advances will be fueled by an expected upswing in
shipment volume of nondurables, which account for more than three-quarters of
total box demand. Value gains will also be boosted by the continued shift toward
high quality printing and graphics on boxes. Changes in the retail environment are
requiring
Corrugated boxes as well as folding cartons to improve their appearance and act
as billboards for their products.
Corrugated boxes which accounted for nearly 70 percent of demand in 2004, will
see the best opportunities for growth as manufacturing activity continues to
expand. Corrugated cartons will largely maintain market share due to their
entrenched position, low cost and recyclability.
Through 2009, food and beverages will remain the largest market for boxes,
comprising over 40 percent of demand. Other non-durable goods markets
expected to record above-average gains are cosmetics, toiletries and
pharmaceuticals. the best prospects
For boxes lie with machinery and equipment, entertainment and software products
Packaging Solutions manufactures following types of corrugated boxes:
Regular Slotted Boxes
Two Pieces Boxes
Top & Bottom Boxes
Die Cut Boxes
Glue Boxes
Unglued Boxes
Stitched & Unstitched Boxes

Box sizes are measured by using inner dimensions unless otherwise
specified.
This section will help you to select the proper style and type of box to meet
your packaging and shipping needs.
Measurements
Box sizes are measured by using inner dimensions unless
otherwise specified. The size of your contents actually
determine the inner box dimensions. These dimensions are usually listed in the
following sequence: length (L) x Width (W) x Height (H).
Dimensions are based on the opening of an assembled box. Looking at the
opening, the longer of the two sides is considered the "length". The shorter of the
the two sides is the "width". The side perpendicular to the length and width is the
"height" of the box.
* Exceptions are bookfolds, bin boxes & divider bins where "width" precedes
"length" and "height" of the measured sequence.
How to measurea box - The quick way
Looking at the opening of the box, measure the longest or
length panel first. Using a tape measure, place it in the bottom
of the box approximately one inch from the back wall and measure from left to
right. Repeat the process for the shorter width panel. Then, folding a side flap
inward until it is perpendicular to its vertical side wall, place the tape measure at
the end of the flap and extend it downward until it rests on the inner flap at the
bottom of the box (see illustration). This exercise will give you the depth
dimension of the box.
52. Treet Corporation Ltd.
Page | 37
One-piece, Die-Cut boxes, such as the "mailer-style" with a tuck-in top, do not
have flaps when assembled, but the measuring procedure is basically the same.
For the box depth, use the inside back panel as it has a visible Score line (crease
separating back panel from lid). For the width of a die cut box, measure between
the Score lines found on the inside of the top or lid. And, of course, for the length
of the box, place your measuring rule on the bottom of the box approximately
one-inch from the back panel. Measure from left to right.
Box construction - What you need to know
The "Manufacturer's Joint" is where the two ends of the side
panels meet to form the box. At that point, the panels are
fastened together with tape, staples or glue. This description applies to regular
slotted shipping Cartons (RSCs). The side panel thickness and content weight
determine the type of seal used for the manufacturer's joint. For example, glue is
used for most single wall boxes, but staples are found in some double wall and in
most triple wall boxes. In contrast, Die-Cut boxes are one-piece panels Scored
and folded together. They do not have a manufacturer's joint.
Box strength
The strength of a corrugated box starts with its material. A
corrugated sheet consists of two major components -
linerboard and medium. Linerboard is the flat paper that covers both sides of the
sheet and the medium is the "fluted" or arched paper found between both liners.
The flute, when anchored to the linerboards with a starched-based Adhesive,
resists bending and pressure from all directions. When placed vertically on its
ends, the flutes form vertical columns, capable of supporting considerable
53. Treet Corporation Ltd.
Page | 38
amounts of weight.
Flutes come in five basic heights and shapes - the most common are "B-flute"
(used for Die-Cut boxes) and "C-flute (used for RSCs). B-flute is compressed and
appears thinner, but don't be fooled. It is made with more paper to provide
stronger side wall protection from blows and punctures. C-flute is taller, with more
air space, but offers enhanced stacking strength. For excellent graphic
reproduction, consider E-flute.
The amount of virgin pulp Fibers and the length of those Fibers in a corrugated
sheet substantially contribute to box strength. For example, the difference
between a 200# test box and a 275# test box is that the latter has more pulp
Fibers in its corrugated linerboard. The 200# test box is rated to hold up to 65 lbs.
of box and contents while the 275# box can hold up to 95 lbs. A 350# test box is
rated to hold up to 120 lbs. of box and contents.
Look for manufacturer'sstamp
Way to be sure that the material of the box that you're
purchasing meets industry standards is to look for the
Manufacturer's Certification Stamp, usually printed on one of the bottom flaps of
the box. The stamp identifies the material as "singlewall," "doublewall" or
"triplewall." It also certifies the Mullen Bursting Test ( most common is 200 lbs.
per square inch) or the Edge Crush Test (ECT 32 lbs. per inch). The Mullen Test
measures the bursting strength of the corrugated linerboard while the Edge
Crush Test measures linerboard stacking strength. The 200 lbs. Mullen box and
the 32 ECT box are comparable in stacking strength. But that is where the
similarity ends. The Mullen Test box is better suited for the protection of heavier
contents while the Edge Crush Test box provides lighter weight Cartons with
good stacking characteristics. When in doubt as to which box to use, always
select the Mullen Test box because the construction of the linerboard cannot be

altered. For example, 200# Mullen Test linerboard must be made of 42# per
square inch basis weight paper and the medium or flute paper cannot be less
than 23# per square inch basis weight.
When & whatbox to use?
When to use a single wall 200# test box - when the box and contents weigh
less than 65 lbs. This weight limit works fine for multiple light-weight items in a
box or for a masterpack box where individual boxes are packed tightly in
organized rows and stacks. If a single heavy item is to be shipped in a single
wall, 200# test box, we recommend a weight limit of 45 lbs. or an upgrade to a
275# test single wall box. Simply apply common sense and always err on the
conservative side.
Regular Slotted Carton (RSC)
Also called shipping boxes, RSCs are the most commonly
used boxes. They are usually Kraft brown in color, have four
flaps on the top and bottom and the side walls are sealed at one corner known as
the "Manufacturer's Joint." This design is highly functional for most packing
applications.
55. Treet Corporation Ltd.
Page | 40
Multi-Depth carton(MDC)
The same box design as an RSC, but with horizontal Scores
(creases) at selected depths along all four side walls. This
feature gives you depth flexibility when packing a box. A Multiple-Depth Carton
can be several boxes in one.
Half-Slotted Carton (HSC)
A variation of the RSC, the Half Slotted Carton has only one
set of flaps. The opposite side of the box is completely open,
allowing it to slide over an item. Envision the use of the box turned over so that
the flaps are on the top. The covered item is usually attached to a pallet or other
type of surface that serves as a separate bottom.
Full-OverlapSlotted Carton (FOL)
With a Full Overlap Slotted Carton, all "length" flaps are also
equal to the width of the box. The flaps actually fold over one
another to provide added strength and protection to the top
and bottom.
Five PanelFolder (FPF)
A Five-panel Folder actually resembles a shallow-depth box
when assembled. It is a one-piece box with an over-lapping top and over-lapping
end panels. The functional design is also economical.
56. Treet Corporation Ltd.
Page | 41
Snap-BottomCarton (SBC)
Available with tuck-in top or with RSC-style top flaps (shown).
Also referred to as an "auto bottom" box. The bottom of the
box snaps into place without tape for quick assembly. Best
suited for light-weight products.
Full Telescope DesignCarton (FTD)
A two-piece box with a separate lid that fits over a bottom
tray.
Half Telescope DesignCarton
Two half-slotted Cartons with one box slightly smaller to
enable it to be inserted into the other box. Offers the ability to
adjust the height or length of the box to fit your needs. Especially suitable for
large, heavy items.
Two-Piece Carton with Separate Lid (CSL)
Die-Cut box with open top and tray-style lid. Similar to a File
Storage Box, but without the hand holes on either end.
Double Cover Carton (DC)
This style of box is frequently used for tall or large, heavy
items. A three-piece box, the Double Cover Carton is
constructed of a four-panel Tube that serves as the side panels and two
interchangeable trays that serve as the top and bottom of the box.
57. Treet Corporation Ltd.
Page | 42
One-Piece Folder (OPF)
Commonly called, "Bookfolds" or Bookwraps," the One Piece
Folder has a flat bottom with two short flaps forming the sides
at each end and two longer, wider flaps that form the front, back and top of the
box. The wider flaps either meet or overlap on the top, depending on the depth of
the contents. The four panels of a Bookfold are usually Scored (creased) at
multiple depths. One-Piece Folders are used to package shallow depth items
such as books and pictures. Usually manufactured with white board.
Mailer-Style Boxes (MSB)
A one-piece Die-Cut box that is assembled without tape.
Construction includes double-layer protection on the sides and
bottom of the box. Available in two popular styles - with a tuck-in
top or with a locking cover, also known as a "cherry lock"
design. (See illustrations) Mailer-Style Boxes are exceptionally
strong and can withstand the most rigorous treatment during
shipment.
Bin Boxes (BB)
Another one piece die cut box that can be assembled without
tape or glue. Often referred to as shelf boxes for parts and
other small items, Bin Boxes have an open top to allow you to see and reach
inside. Measured by width, length and depth. These long, narrow boxes can
significantly increase storage space. Available in multiple widths and in four
different lengths.

Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the
holding company and its subsidiary companies as at 30 June 2013.
a) Subsidiaries
The financial statements of the subsidiary companies have been consolidated
on a line-by-line basis and the carrying values of the investments held by the
holding company have been eliminated against the shareholders’ equity in the
subsidiary companies.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same
reporting year as the holding company, using consistent accounting policies.
All intragroup balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and
losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognised in assets,
are eliminated in full.
The subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the
date on which the holding company obtains control, and continue to be
consolidated until the date that such control ceases.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of
subsidiaries by the group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair
value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or
assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the
acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities
assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values
81. Treet Corporation Ltd.
Page | 66
at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling
interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the
Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as Goodwill.
b) Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interest is that part of net results of operations and of net
assets of the subsidiaries which are not owned by the holding company either
directly or indirectly. Non-controlling interest is presented as a separate item
in the consolidated financial statements. The Group applies a policy of
treating transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with parties
external to the Group. Disposals to non-controlling interests result in gains
and losses for the Group and are recorded in the income statement.
c) Associates
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but
not control. The Group’s share of its associate’s post-acquisition profit or loss
is recognised in the profit and loss account, and its share of post-acquisition
movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-
acquisition move-ments are adjusted against the carrying amount of the
investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or
exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured
receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has
incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are
eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealized
losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an
impairment of the asset transferred.
