Kraft Paper

a. Increasing demand and high volumes will trigger consolidation and setting up of large automatic plants b. Inline Automatic Board and Box making plants will ease out the present semi-automatic production processes. c. Deployment of Folder Gluers, Rotary Die-cutters will be on the increase. d. Use of corrugated for display/promotional packs, POPs and dispensers. e. Advances in multicolour, flexo printing will facilitate in-house flexo printing and do away with screen printing, contract printing on offset presses. f. The emergence of e-commerce, reverse bidding, concept of First Pak will give large scale units the advantage of competitiveness and the concept of locating corrugated box units nearer to user locations will become obsolete. g. Large Corporates and Bulk users of corrugated boxes looking for single/multiple alternative vendors – capable of meeting stringent specifications, offering alternative designs, test-in-time deliveries at optimum.

Paper Sacks The modern paper sacks meet the high performance standards of the cement industry, specifically focusing on the most important decision-making factors identified by the study, namely: filling speed, pack cost, strength, moisture protection, dust-free packaging and damage rates. High-speed filling Thanks to the natural characteristics of sack kraft paper as filter material, paper sacks can be filled at very high speeds. The porosity of sack kraft paper enables rapid and problem-free venting during the filling process without requiring complex and cost-intensive air extraction systems. Low packing costs The high filling speed is a considerable advantage in terms of efficiency. It results in smoother and quicker processes as well as lower packing costs, as more cement sacks are produced per time unit. Due to a combination of lower capital and lower operational costs, as well as higher production efficiencies, paper sacks are the most cost-effective solution when compared to alternative packaging solutions. Strength Sack kraft paper is made from 100% virgin fibres. It gives paper sacks a unique strength, allowing optimisation of the packaging weight while still maintaining stability under a broad variety of conditions. Dust-free As a result of the development of high-porosity sack kraft paper, fillers have an alternative to the previously used perforated paper sacks. These sacks have been a major source of dust in the supply chain. Together with the enhancement of the valve technology, the paper sack industry is able to provide dust-tight sack packaging. Moisture protection In terms of moisture protection, paper sacks offer reliable solutions suiting the industry‘s needs. In many supply chains a wrapped pallet with standard sacks constructed with two-ply-layer sack kraft paper is an adequate and cost effective solution. In other supply chains where sacks will be exposed to humid conditions, a two-ply-layer paper construction with an intermediate PE-film will prevent moisture ingress. Low damage rates Other important factors that influence the fillers decision of packaging system are pack damage and product wastage. The level of damage to paper sacks does not exceed one to two percent.
