Folding
Carton Manufacturer is everywhere in
our day-to-day lives. They are very common in shopping centers, grocery stores,
and in the industries which are either small or large in size. The name of the
commonly referred card board boxes is actually known as the corrugated boxes.
They have a variety of usage both for domestic and industrial purposes such as
boxes which are used for doing any kind of major / minor shift of the houses,
in shipping and packaging industry, in large industries to pack light weight to
the heavy weight machines. The reason for the popular and widespread usage of
the corrugated boxes is due to the sturdiness and also the durability of these
boxes when it comes to withstand the weight of the materials that are packed
within these boxes. The word corrugated means anything which has grooves and
ridges in an alternating pattern.
The basic material that
is needed for the preparation of the corrugated boxes is the paperboard. They
are manufactured from basically two types of paperboards they are called as the
Kraft and test. Kraft paperboard: These paperboards are manufactured from the
paper of the softwood trees, this paperboard is the most strongest and hence it
can be effectively used for printing logos and names on the outer side of the
paperboard. Test Paperboard: This type of paperboard is also known as the
duplex paperboard, it is made up of double layer of papers. The standard
cartons which are manufactured from this type of paper mostly use the recycled
paper for creating the flutes and liners of the corrugated boxes. The liner
papers which are used in the test paperboard are manufactured in a way that
they contain two layers, in which one layer is called the fine layer and the
second layer is called the basic layer.
The basic layer of the
paper is the inner layer which provides the strength and adhesion to the
corrugated box. It is essential that you understand the type of papers, which
is the basis for determining the weight of the paper. All the papers are
measured in the same way, which is take one square meter of the paper and find
out its weight and you get a result of some x grams per square meter, this is
called as the GSM of the corrugated box.
The GSM value of the box helps to determine the thickness of the box,
from which we can ascertain the weight of the box, the more the weight more is
the strength of the box. The Ply value of the corrugated means the thickness of
the corrugated box which is got by combining the layers of papers which is used
for the manufacturing of the boxes.
