Tech students Maharanapratap College of Technology, Gwalior, [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Corrugated board is widely used in the packing industry. The main advantages are lightness, recyclability and low cost. This makes the material the best choice to produce containers devoted to the shipping of goods. Furthermore examples of structure design based on corrugated boards can be found in different fields. Structural analysis of paperboard components is a crucial topic in the design of containers. It is required to investigate their strength properties because they have to protect the goods contained from lateral crushing and compression loads due to stacking. However in this paper complete and detailed information are presented. Keywords: - corrugated boards, recyclability, compression loads. Smaller flutes offer printability advantages as well as I.

Corrugated boxes are one of the most stable packaging forms in today’s industry. According to The Marketing Guide to the U.S. Packaging Industry, in 2004 paperboard packaging products made up 40.3% of the shipment packaging industry. Paperboard sales were more than double any other material during both 2004 and 2005. Inside of the paperboard industry, corrugated board made up 64% of all paperboard sales in 2004. According to the same source, corrugated shipping containers alone had $29.5 billion in shipments during the 2005 year. This was more than all plastic packaging material combined which totaled $26.346 billion. Not only do corrugated shipping containers dominate as distribution packages, the industry continues to grow. It is expected that the corrugated container industry will grow by 1.3% from 2005 to 2010 despite the threat from other packaging materials, such as plastics (The Marketing Guide, 2006). The properties of corrugated boxes make them valuable distribution packages and give the corrugated industry a slight advantage over other competitors. Corrugated boxes are best suited as a shipping container because of their strength to cost ratio (Jonson, 1999).

    Label Liners: Meeting the Sustainability Challenge

    Label liners: meeting the sustainability challenge By Mariya Nedelcheva, Product Manager Film & With ever-greater emphasis placed on packaging and waste reduction, Jenny Wassenaar, Compliance & Sustainability brand owners are looking for solutions that secure their sustainability Director, Avery Dennison credentials. Consumers pay particularly close attention to packaging, where there are significant environmental gains to be made. For example, waste from labelling can create useful by-products and circular economies. Waste is not always visible on the final packaging, but its impact on brand reputation is no less real. Consumers’ perceptions of a brand can be enhanced when sustainability is improved. label.averydennison.com Matrix Liner Final White paper waste waste label 16% 35% 37% Start-up waste plus Challenge printed End-user The challenge of recycling waste from the labelling process in error scrap - and ideally creating useful by-products - is complex. Many 10% 1% different elements must be addressed in order to move towards the ultimate goal of zero waste. For example, the word ‘recyclable’ can mean many things, and should not be viewed in isolation. Today there is a chance that recyclable products will still end up in landfill, so what matters is establishing genuinely viable end-to-end recycling solutions. That means considering every component within packaging, including where it comes from, how much material has been used, and what happens at every stage of the package’s journey through the value chain. This paper discusses how the sustainability of labelling laminates can be improved, with a particular focus on the label release liners that are left behind once labels have been dispensed.

    U.S. Postal Service Mail Addressing Guidelines Address Placement Placement of the address on the face of an envelope should conform to the following U. S. Postal Service specifications. • The address should be in an area, one inch from each side of the envelope. • The top of the address should be no more than 2 3/4 inches from the bottom of the envelope and the bottom no more than 5/8's of an inch from the bottom of the envelope. • The area 4 1/2 inches by 5/8 's of an inch in the lower right hand corner of the envelope MUST remain empty for bar code placement for any maul that is processed by the Mail Center. Enclosures Correspondence Mail of any kind for transport by the U. S. Postal Service must be enclosed in an appropriate envelope or parcel and sealed. The type of enclosures determine the mailing classification. Non-mailables Several items are listed by the U. S. Postal Service as non-mailable in envelopes: • paper clips • metal pieces • glass, chips • sand. These can jam or damage the mailing machines and can cause serious injury to Mail Center and Postal employees. The following are also classified as non-mailables and subject to return to sender: envelopes and cards less than 3 1/2 inches in height or 5 inches in length. It is recommended that when mailing questionable items to U. S. or foreign destinations, the mailer should contact the Mail Center for assistance. All foreign countries also impose various restrictions. Brochures, letters and newsletters being mailed without an envelope must be folded consistently and must be tabbed with the recommended number of tabs.

    White paper The HP Molded Fiber Advanced Tooling Solution White paper | The HP Molded Fiber Advanced Tooling Solution Macrotrends driving the packaging market The packaging market is transitioning from foam/plastic to molded fiber (also known as molded pulp) packaging for sustainability reasons, with environmental packaging (i.e., replacing foam with paper) favoring the growth of this segment. The molded fiber packaging market is a worldwide industry, valued at $8 billion, and is the fastest-growing segment in the packaging market, with growth being fueled by growing consumer demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging solutions, as well as the increase in take-out food and e-commerce.1 Asia-Pacific countries (APAC) are the biggest geographical market, especially China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The region is experiencing the highest growth and is expected to be the largest market by 2024. This growth can be attributed to the rising importance of disposable packaging,2 as well as the lower cost of tooling production in these areas, which presents a significant price advantage over other regions. The primary segments currently are food and beverage and electronics, which are estimated to have the highest growth. The increasing use of molded pulp products for the packaging of various electronic products (including mobile phones and accessories, computers, printers, modems, trimmers, and projectors, among others) due to its convenience, improved sustainability, and low cost are some of the factors contributing to the growth of this segment.2 Molded fiber manufacturing The thermoformed tooling segment is expected to outgrow other segments, propelled by increased consumer demand for high-quality molded fiber packaging and ongoing innovation driving down thermoforming-packaging manufacturing costs.
