Custom Molded Pulp Durable, Sustainable, Smart Molded pulp is a packaging material made from recycled papers, typically used for protective packaging although most commonly identified with egg flats & fast food drink trays. Molded pulp by Great Northern is tailored to custom, industrial applications when larger, heavier, bulkier products require an effective, environmentally responsible packaging solution. The Manufacturing Process: Rollguard manufactures molded pulp from select grades of recovered paper, including corrugated and newspaper. When combined with water, a slurry of proper consistency is created. Custom designed tools, attached to a molding machine, are submerged into the slurry. Pulp is drawn onto the screen tools via a vacuum process, whereby the paper fibers accumulate to a desired thickness. Excess water is removed. The fibrous formed parts are then transferred to an oven where they are dried, packaged & prepared for shipment See backside for more information rollguard.com | 800.925.2626 YOUR FIRST CALL FOR PROTECTIVE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS Rollguard ® is a registered trademark of Great Northern Corporation.

Kaushal1, V.K.Sirohiya2 and R.K.Rathore3 1 2 Assistant Prof. Mechanical Engineering Department, Gwalior Institute of Information Technology,Gwalior, Assistant Prof. Mechanical Engineering 3 Departments, Gwalior Engineering College, Gwalior, M. 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. INTRODUCTION structural advantages for retail packaging. Corrugated board is essentially a paper sandwich consisting of corrugated medium layered between inside II. HISTORY and outside linerboard. On the production side, corrugated In 1856 the first known corrugated material was patented is a sub-category of the paperboard industry, which is a for sweatband lining in top hats. During the following four sub-category of the paper industry, which is a sub-category decades other forms of corrugated material were used as of the forest products industry.

Damping Package Design Using Structural Corrugated Board
RESEARCH ARTICLE Damping Package Design Using Structural Corrugated Board PREFACE API 2015 Qi Zhang Katsuhiko Saito Kobe University Kobe University [email protected] [email protected] Katsushige Nagaoka TSK Coporation [email protected] ABSTRACT Packaging is designed to protect products from shock and vibration during transport. In recent years, paper cushioning materials, such as corrugated board and pulp molded packaging, are being increasingly used because they are environmentally friendly and easy to recycle. However, because no efficient packaging-design method yet exists for paper cushioning material, packaging engineers must rely on previous experience and the so-called trial-and-error method to design packaging. One reason for this situation is that, for most cases, the paper cushioning material used for protective packaging has a complicated structure and deforms after being subjected to repetitive shock and vibration. To address this shortcoming, we propose a damping design method for corrugated-board packaging that includes shock-absorbing and vibration damping elements. To verify that the resultant packaging functions as intended, we test three types of packaging in the following way: First, we use an existing design method to create cushioned packages and examine them via free-fall drop tests. Next, to test the robustness of packaging against vibration (i.e., for packaging destined for various modes of transport), we study the three packaging types by subjecting them to (i) vibration-only tests and (ii) drop-plus-vibration tests. For vibration-only tests, the packaging with highest static stress gives the best result, its “vibration fatigue” accounts for approximately 52% of the worst result given by packaging with the lowest static stress.

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.

The HP Molded Fiber Advanced Tooling Solution White Paper | the HP Molded Fiber Advanced Tooling Solution
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.

Envelopes and Paper Sizes Envelopes
Envelopes and Paper Sizes Envelopes #10 Envelope - 4.125 x 9.5 inches. Standard envelope for a folded letter size paper to fit. #10 Window Envelope - Standard envelope for a folded letter size paper to fit with front window to allow a mailing address to show. 9 x 12 - Fits an unfolded letter size paper. 10 x 13 - Fits letter size paper or a 9 x 12 folder. Both envelopes are brown in color and open at the short end. Paper Sizes 8.5 x 11 Letter - Smallest page size we print on. If we are printing smaller items, they are printed in multiples on a larger sheet. 8.5 x 11 Legal - Slightly longer than a letter paper. Used commonly for exams and legal documents. 11 x 17 Tabloid - Equivalent of two 8.5 x 11 letter paper side by side. Used commonly for posters and 4 page folded documents. Some posters are not printed on this size since they require an image edge to edge (*bleed). 12 x 18 - One inch larger on both sides than 11x17. This is the paper that some posters are printed on and then trimmed to size to allow for bleed. 14 x 20 - We can print this size paper on our high volume printer. It is not a standard size paper, but allows for us to print at a slightly larger size. Larger than 14 x 20 would be printed on our large format printer. Anything larger than a 12 x 18 page cannot be printed by our front desk staff and needs to go to our designer so it can be printed on the appropriate device.
