Executive Summary
1.1. The Project back ground
Correct selection, design and construction of the packaging is just as important for loss-free transportation and
storage as are the requirements placed on the product itself. Savings are often made on packaging in order to reduce
total costs of concerned industry. Packaging industry in Bangladesh is comparatively a young industry by world
standard; however from the very modest beginning the packaging solutions has come edge and has really taken off
during last two decades! Now Corrugated Carton, Poly bag, Pet bottle, Glass bottle, Flexible packaging, PVC Oven
sacking etc. are manufactured locally. Raw materials, machineries with chemicals are being imported from abroad.
Quality of locally produced packaging materials is good on average with tremendous opportunities for investment as
there is a room for more than U$$4.00billion packaging and accessories market in our country it is rapidly growing
significantly. These could be classified in 03 standards varying from high standards to medium to average standard.
At the same time the country has few world class manufacturing factories which are producing standard packaging
solutions.
Packaging Industry is among the fastest growing industries in Bangladesh. A high degree of potential exists for
almost all user segments which are expanding appreciably-Processes foods, hard and soft drinks, fruit and marine
products, cosmetics and personal care, office stationary and accessories, fabrics and garments, white goods and
other durables, electrical appliances and equipments, entertainment and other electronics, shoes and leather ware,
gems and Jeweler’s, toys and sports goods, chemicals and fertilizers.
Due to lower manufacturing costs, Bangladesh is fast becoming a preferred hub for packaging production. The
Bangladesh packaging industry has made a mark with its exports that comprise flattened cans, printed sheets and
components, crown cork, lug caps, plastic film laminates, craft paper, paper board and packaging machinery, while
the imports include tinplate, coating and lining compounds and others. In Bangladesh, the fastest growing packaging
segments are laminates and flexible packaging, especially PET and woven sacks.
1.2. Project Justification and Objectives:
The ABC packaging, being one of the elevated technically advance automatic corrugated carton manufacturer in
Bangladesh, which would like to maintain a leading position by developing fully automatic board plants along with
the diversified advance equipment and accessories. Its aim to employ intelligence in developing packaging with a
solution based products and prompt services in reducing lead time, improving quality and providing overall value
saving for the end user for our carton boxes.
It’s main target to get nomination and approval for packaging solution from world class buyer like; H & M, Levi,
NIKE, GAP, IKEA, Wal*mart, ZARA, and many more which is already started. In recent years there has been a
substantial increased in the export of RMG, Pharmaceuticals, Ceramics Leather, Frozen Foods and horticultural,
floricultural products from the Bangladesh to the European markets, American and Scandinavian countries and
these sectors have provided much needed foreign exchange earnings. This growth is expected to continue within the
limits of freight capacity. Packaging materials namely corrugated cardboard boxes or cartons represent an important
cost item for these industries and all box requirements are currently produced in locally which is not substantial. It is
noted that, there is no significant capacity of automatic corrugated carton are produced locally.
A pre-feasibility study is undertaken to assess the market potential for setting up of an automated corrugated box
manufacturing facility. The proposal has been designed with state of the art automated foreign machineries &
equipments which will manufacture high corrugated carton in different shape and some categorical printing
materials for RMG”s requirements. It is strongly designed to get buyer nomination as to cope up with world class
factories. Support to other local industries, such as, Pharmaceuticals, Ceramics, Leather Goods, soap, confectionary
and poultry, in providing a locally available box and enabling import substitution or better preservation of their
products " Generation of employment, both directly and indirectly and support to rural development and the role of
women in the economy in enabling communal gardens to better preserve their products and hence access a better
market.
In view of the above benefits of the automatic corrugated packaging project would provide, the Promoter to look to
the National Board of Investment for supporting and providing a Development Certificate and investment incentives
in terms of tax allowances and duty waivers. The BOI has already expressed its interest in initial support for the
project.

History of the Packaging Materials
2.1.
Global Packaging Manufacturing Industry
Packaging technology has been undergoing rapid development over the past few decades, with consumers reliant
on packaging for food safety and transportability in particular. The explosion of supermarkets and convenience
foods would not have been possible without developments in packaging. Recent advances in environmentally
friendly packaging are helping packaging manufacturers meet demand for recyclable products as consumers seek
to reduce waste and limit the harmful impact of modern living on the environment. Sustainability is a major issue
for the packaging industry moving forward as companies reliant on the industry are obliged to comply with
changing government legislation encouraging recycling. Producing lightweight alternatives to traditional
packaging is also key as companies seek to cut transport cost.
The global packaging material and machinery industry generates $500 billion yearly, accounting for between 1%
and 2% of gross domestic product in industrialized nations, according to the World Packaging Organization. There
are 100,000 packaging manufacturing companies in operation, representing 5 million jobs.
2.2.
Bangladesh Context:
Packaging industry in Bangladesh is comparatively a young industry by world standard; however from very
modest beginning the packaging solutions has come edge and has really taken off during last two decades. Now
Corrugated Carton, Poly bag, Pet bottle, Glass bottle, Flexible packaging, PVC Oven sacking etc. are
manufactured locally. However raw materials, machineries with chemicals are being imported from abroad.
Quality of locally produced packaging materials is good on average with tremendous opportunities for investment.
These could be classified in 03 standards varying from high standards to medium to average standard. At the same
time the country has few world class manufacturing factories which are producing standard packaging solutions.
2.3.
Growing Trend of Packaging in Bangladesh:
Packaging Industry is among the rapidly growing industries in Bangladesh A high degree of potential exists for
almost all user segments which are expanding appreciably-Processes foods, hard and soft drinks, fruit and marine
products, cosmetics and personal care, office stationary and accessories, fabrics and garments, white goods and
other durables, electrical appliances and equipments, entertainment and other electronics, shoes and leather ware,
gems, toys and sports goods, chemicals and fertilizers.
Due to lower manufacturing costs, Bangladesh is fast becoming a preferred hub for packaging production. The
Bangladesh packaging industry has made a mark with its exports that comprise flattened cans, printed sheets and
components, crown cork, lug caps, plastic film laminates, craft paper, paper board and packaging machinery, while
the imports include tinplate, coating and lining compounds and others. In Bangladesh, the fastest growing
packaging segments are laminates and flexible packaging, especially PET and woven sacks.
2.4.
Contribution of Packaging Industry in Bangladesh:
There are about 1300 no’s of packaging industry in Bangladesh out of which 40 % are in standard form. Total
packaging and printing sector is one of the largest employers in Bangladesh like the RMG sector where 03 million
people are employed and 80% are women. Packaging sector plays an important role for the development of
industry as well as export and local consumptions. During eighties only few packaging industry were set to meet
packaging requirement of pharmaceuticals industries. But early eighties when export oriented RMG started their
export it demand increased tremendously. To keep pace of the RMG sectors and others export oriented sectors is
going up by leaps and bounds to cater needs of the demand. Now all export oriented sectors like RMG, Frozen
foods, Handicrafts, pharmaceuticals, Ceramics, flowers are meeting up by the local packaging industries.
Apart from the export oriented sectors there are few hundreds of packaging industry to meet up the local industries
demand like foods and beverages, cosmetic and others consumer’s goods. Because of tremendous demands of
consumers needs, demands for foil, flexible packaging, and poly has also increased. In recent times demand for
pharmaceuticals packaging increased their products.
2.5.
Industry Composition in Global Context
The packaging industry is composed of two major components, namely, the supply side or providers of
packaging products and the demand side or end users. Each component’s category is characterized by varying
investment status and potentials, contingent upon growth stimuli in each sector. Government has given the priority
for agro products such as fruits, vegetables etc. we produces these items abundantly. But due to poor packaging we
are to loose our foreign exchange although there is good scope for development of packaging materials of this
sector by introducing standard end eco-friendly devices. The printing sectors have also been developed. Now there
is great scope for development of this sector by using modern technology.

Introduction:
Packaging industry in Bangladesh is comparatively a young industry by world standard; however from very
modest beginning the packaging solutions has come edge and has really taken off during last two decades. Now
Corrugated Carton, Poly bag, Pet bottle, Glass bottle, Flexible packaging, PVC Oven sacking etc. are
manufactured locally. However raw materials, machineries with chemicals are being imported from abroad.
Quality of locally produced packaging materials is good on average with tremendous opportunities for
investment. These could be classified in 03 standards varying from high standards to medium to average
standard. At the same time the country has few world class manufacturing factories which are producing
standard packaging solutions.
The products of the proposed projects will be automatic corrugated carton box produced from.............
Automatic carton have comparative advantage in respects of unit price, size/specification. Automatic carton box
have also standard in size smoothness in surface bright in excellent glitters, hardness in strength as compared to
traditional carton box. Furthermore this type project can supply huge volume of corrugated carton to it
significantly growing RMG sector and others diversified packaging product market. It can cater the large
volume of carton at a time when various sectors place order.
2.
Growing Trend of Packaging:
Users of the Corrugated Box
Packaging Industry is among the rapidly growing industries in Bangladesh. A high degree of potential exists for
almost all user segments which are expanding appreciably-Processes foods, hard and soft drinks, fruit and
marine products, cosmetics and personal care, office stationary and accessories, fabrics and garments, white
goods and other durables, electrical appliances and equipments, entertainment and other electronics, shoes and
leather ware, gems and toys and sports goods, chemicals and fertilizers.
Due to lower manufacturing costs, Bangladesh is fast becoming a preferred hub for packaging production. The
Bangladesh packaging industry has made a mark with its exports that comprise flattened cans, printed sheets
and components, crown cork, lug caps, plastic film laminates, craft paper, paper board and packaging
machinery, while the imports include tinplate, coating and lining compounds and others.

Market Size of Packaging materials:
Industry Composition in Global Context:
The packaging industry is composed of two major components, namely, the supply side or providers of
packaging products and the demand side or end users. Each component’s category is characterized by
varying investment status and potentials, contingent upon growth stimuli in each sector.
Supply side - by nature of end product
As for the type of end product, packaging manufacturing has globally the greatest share of the total industry
(81%), followed by the packaging service (14%) then by packaging machinery (5%). Packaging machinery is
equipment for uses such as canning; container cleaning, filling, and forming; bagging, packing, unpacking,
bottling, sealing and placing of lid; inspection and check weighing; wrapping, shrink film and heat sealing; case
forming, labeling and encoding; palletizing and related uses.
Packaging machinery sub-sector is highly globalized, with European countries and the USA dominating the top
ten lists of major country producers and exporters. The world production of packaging machinery reached € 22
billion in 2007 (Packaging Gateway, 2010). Packaging refers to the technology and material for enclosing or
protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use (Soroka, 2002).
Supply side - by form and type of packaging material
As for form, packaging can either be flexible or rigid with the former fast replacing the more traditional rigid
form, owing to cost and flexibility advantage. Flexible packaging includes materials such as film, foil or paper
sheeting. Rigid packaging includes glass, rigid metal, and wood. As to the share of the total packaging market,
paper (34%) tops the list, followed by rigid plastic (27%), metal (15%), glass (11%), flexible packaging (10%),
and others (3%). The flexible packaging market is expected to grow by around 3.2% annually over the next five
years with food accounting for 75-80% of the demand. To retain its current share of the market, rigid packaging
has to address the cost advantage of its flexible counterpart, while affording flexibility and variety of uses.
Demand side - by end user product or industry
On the demand side, the packaging industry may be classified in relation to the type of end user, namely:
individual consumers, institutional and industrial users with the latter further sub categorized by industry type,
namely, food, beverage and petrochemicals. Food accounts for 50% of the global consumer packaging industry
valued at US$ 380 billion as of 2009. If the beverage sector is to be added, that will even increase to 69%
(Figure 2). That the food and beverage market account for more than half of the packaging market are
worldwide phenomena. In developing countries the growing demand from the food and beverage market has
been instrumental in stimulating the overall growth in the packaging industry (Global Industry Analysts, 2010).
The global consumer packaging industry, by end use, 2012
1. Cosmetics (5%)
2. Healthcare (6%)
3. Beverages (19%)
4. Food (50%)
5. Others (20%)
Demand Analysis at Micro & Macro level in Bangladesh:
Packaging solutions in Bangladesh is a thriving sector industry with more than 04 million people dependent on
it for their livelihood. Total corrugated carton production in Bangladesh is estimated at 1.00 billion cartons
annually. There are over all 12,000 packaging industries in Bangladesh and most (60%) of them are using
“traditional system. Traditional technologies for manufacturing are …………………………………….
The market size for packaging materials for food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, toiletries, Ind. products, textiles,
handicrafts, etc. accounts for 4%, while rigid & semi-rigid plastic containers is about 9%.The metal and tin
containers accounts for 10%, glass containers 10% , Corrugated Board & boxes is about 23%, paper & paper
board 36% and other ancillary materials like tapes straps, labels, adhesives, etc. - 8%. Up gradation, both of
functionality and aesthetics, characterizes the recent trends in the industry. Elaborate and more expensive
packaging is penetrating deeper into marketing of industrial products and even agro-based products, like food
and personal care products, drugs and pharmaceuticals, consumer durables and electronic products, especially
entertainment products.
Apart from the export oriented sectors there are few hundreds of packaging industry to meet up the local
industries demand like foods and beverages, cosmetic and others consumer’s goods. Because of tremendous
demands of consumers needs, demands for foil, flexible packaging, and poly has also increased. In recent
times demand for pharmaceuticals packaging increased their products. Government has given the priority for
agro products such as fruits, vegetables etc. we produces these items abundantly. But due to poor packaging
we are to loose our foreign exchange although there is good scope for development of packaging materials of
this sector by introducing standard end eco-friendly devices. The printing sectors have also been developed.
Now there is great scope for development of this sector by using modern technology
Existing Demand:
Packaging market size in Bangladesh is about BDT25,000 corer is growing at the rate of 10 per cent per annum.
Currently rigid packaging enjoys more than 65% market share but the traditional rigid packaging users are
migrating to flexible packaging in a big way. Market size of PET/BOPP and other flexible film-based
manufacturing segment is estimated at around BDT 5billion. The cost impact of PET film and BOPP film on the
overall packaging cost ranges from 35-85% depending on the product to be packaged.
The overall growth rate of the industry has tapered off to around 9%. The flexible packaging industry is
expected to grow at about 10-15% per annum in the coming years.

Marketing Strategy:
Lower Price:
Due to lower manufacturing costs, Bangladesh is fast becoming a preferred hub for packaging production. The
Bangladesh packaging industry has made a mark with its exports that comprise flattened cans, printed sheets and
components, crown cork, lug caps, plastic film laminates, craft paper, paper board and packaging machinery, while the
imports include tinplate, coating and lining compounds and others. In Bangladesh, the fastest growing packaging
segments are laminates and flexible packaging, especially PET and woven sacks. This growth is expected to continue
within the limits of freight capacity. Packaging materials namely corrugated cardboard boxes or cartons represent an
important cost item for these industries and all box requirements are currently produced in locally which is not
substantial. It is noted that, there is no significant capacity of automatic corrugated carton are produced locally.
Product Features and Quality:
Type of Packaging I
I.
Paper Packaging:
The use of paper and paperboards for food packaging dates back to the 17th century with accelerated usage in
the later part of the 19th century (Kirwan 2003). Paper and paperboard are sheet materials made from an
interlaced network of cellulose fibers derived from wood by using sulfate and sulfite. The fibers are then pulped
and/or bleached and treated with chemicals such as slimicides and strengthening agents to produce the paper
product. FDA regulates the additives used in paper and paperboard food packaging (21 CFR Part 176).
Paper and paperboards are commonly used in corrugated boxes, milk cartons, folding cartons, bags and sacks,
and wrapping paper. Tissue paper, paper plates, and cups are other examples of paper and paperboard products.
About thousand and 400 are in standard form they produce, corrugated carton, back board, neck, hang tag, size
tag, price tag, bar code, photo inlay, size sticker, carton sticker, 80% machineries and raw materials are imported
Paper:
Plain paper is not used to protect foods for long periods of time because it has poor barrier properties and is not
heat sealable. When used as primary packaging (that is, in contact with food), paper is almost always treated,
coated, laminated, or impregnated with materials such as waxes, resins, or lacquers to improve functional and
protective properties. The many different types of paper used in food packaging are as follows:
Paper laminates.
Paper laminates are coated or uncoated papers based on Kraft and sulfite pulp. They can be laminated with
plastic or aluminum to improve various properties. For example, paper can be laminated with polyethylene to
make it heat sealable and to improve gas and moisture barrier properties. However, lamination substantially
increases the cost of paper. Laminated paper is used to package dried products such as soups, herbs, and spices
Metal
Metal is the most versatile of all packaging forms. It offers a combination of excellent physical protection and
barrier properties, formability and decorative potential, recyclability, and consumer acceptance. The 2 metals
most predominantly used in packaging are aluminum and steel.
Aluminum:
Commonly used to make cans, foil, and laminated paper or plastic packaging, aluminum is a lightweight,
silvery white metal derived from bauxite ore, where it exists in combination with oxygen as alumina.
Magnesium and manganese are often added to aluminum to improve its strength properties (Page and others
2003). Unlike many metals, aluminum is highly resistant to most forms of corrosion; its natural coating of
aluminum oxide provides a highly effective barrier to the effects of air, temperature, moisture, and chemical
attack.
Aluminum Foil:
Aluminum foil is made by rolling pure aluminum metal into very thin sheets, followed by annealing to achieve
dead-folding properties (a crease or fold made in the film will stay in place), which allows it to be folded
tightly. Moreover, aluminum foil is available in a wide range of thicknesses, with thinner foils used to wrap
food and thicker foils used for trays.
Bellows are the packaging materials in our country:
Bottles, Blister Packs, Glass packaging,
PP Oven sacks, (about 50 industries in Bangladesh)
Plastic Bottles, Skin Pack, Tin Can, Boxes, Shrink Wrap
Barrel, Tetra aluminum Foil, Crate, Aseptic, Container, Active, Beverage Can
Flexible, Rigid Plastic, Metal, Flexible, Glass, Paper Board, Food, Beverage etc.
The ABC packaging, being one of the high technologically advance corrugated carton manufacturer in
Bangladesh which would like to maintain a leading position by developing fully automatic board plants along with
the diversified advance machinery. Its aim to employ intelligence in developing packaging with a solution based
products and prompt services in reducing lead time, improving quality and providing overall value saving for the
end user for our boxes. These sorts of corrugated packaging material will be producing ABC Company
Limited.
What is corrugated fiberboard?
Corrugated fiberboard or cardboard (as it’s sometimes referred) is a paper-based material that consists of a fluted
corrugated sheet and one or two flat linerboards. The smooth, flat paper that sandwiches the interior fluting is the
linerboard. The fluted paper (or medium as it is sometimes referred) is joined to the flat linerboard with an
adhesive to form the corrugated fiberboard. Two design factors impact the weight, strength, qualities and
characteristics of corrugated fiberboard: fluting and wall construction. Wall construction is the most
straightforward design factor. Corrugated cardboard walls are manufactured in single, double, and even triple-wall
thicknesses. The more layers in the cardboard wall, the greater the strength.
Corrugated flutes
The inventors of corrugated board applied similar science to paper as ancient architects did to buildings. When
trying to uphold heavy loads, strength is unsurpassed when using an arch. Generally the larger flute profiles give
greater vertical strength and cushioning. The smaller flutes help enhance graphic capabilities while providing
greater structural integrity. By experimenting with flute profiles, designers can vary compression strength,
cushioning strength and thickness.
Corrugated comes in different wall construction
• Single-wall corrugated sheet
Single-wall corrugated boxes have a wide range of material strength, which is measured in terms of the Edge
Crush Test (ECT). The ECT test identifies the strength of the corrugated cardboard per square inch when crushed.
The ability of the assembled box to withstand weight before bursting is measured with the Mullen Bursting Test.
Single-wall corrugated boxes start at 23 ECT and range up to 55 ECT. Most single-wall corrugated boxes come in
200# to 275# bursting test strength. Very lightweight single-wall boxes will have a maximum box weight of 20
lbs., a bursting test weight of 125 lbs., and an ECT of 23 lbs. per square inch.
• Double-wall and triple-wall corrugated packaging
Double-wall cardboard is automatically stronger and more resistant to crushing than single-wall cardboard.
Heavier and less flexible than single-wall corrugated material, double-wall corrugated cardboard is designed to
accommodate heavier contents for shipping and storage. Double-wall corrugated cardboard strengths range
from 42 ECT to 82 ECT. Double-wall corrugated boxes have minimum bursting test weights starting at 200 lbs.
and going up to 600 lbs.
• Triple-wall and triple-wall corrugated packaging
Triple-wall corrugated boxes contain three corrugated mediums and four linerboard facings. This 7-ply
construction is used where large container sizes are involved, such as pallet packs. Triple-wall corrugated boxes
can hold significantly more weight, ranging from 240 to 300 lbs., with 67 to 112 ECT. Triple-wall corrugated
boxes are the heaviest type, and can hold significantly more weight, ranging from 240 to 300 lbs., with 67 to
112 ECT.

Corrugated board consists of one or two outer plies, the flutes and, in multi-ply types of corrugated board, of one
or more intermediate plies. Corrugated board is classified as follows according to the number of outer/intermediate
plies and flutes:
Figure 1: Single face corrugated board consists of one ply of fluted paper, onto which paper or cardboard is glued.
Figure 2: Single wall (double face) corrugated board consists of one ply of fluted paper which is glued between two
plies of paper or cardboard.
Figure 3: Double wall corrugated board consists of two plies of fluted paper which are glued together by one ply of
un fluted paper or cardboard and the exposed outer surfaces of which are each covered with one ply of paper or
cardboard.
Figure 4: Tri-wall corrugated board consists of three plies of fluted paper which are glued together by two plies
of paper or cardboard and the outer surfaces of which are likewise each covered with one ply of paper or
cardboard.
Cartons are usually made from double wall and single wall corrugated board. Cartons made from high strength
corrugated board, generally tri-wall (or ultra-heavy) corrugated board, are used for transport operations involving
severe climatic conditions and mechanical stresses and for those involving heavier cargoes. (see Figure 6).
Figure 6: When arranged in this
way, the flutes would collapse
when exposed to pressure from
above. Carton strength is then
compromised and entire stacks
may collapse
Automatic Corrugated Box as per Buyer Nomination:
It’s main target to get nomination and approval for packaging solution from world class buyer like; H & M,
Levi, NIKE, GAP, IKEA, Wal*mart, ZARA, and many more which is already started. In recent years there has
been a substantial increased in the export of RMG, Pharmaceuticals, Ceramics Leather, Frozen Foods and
horticultural, floricultural products from the Bangladesh to the European markets, American and Scandinavian
countries and these sectors have provided much needed foreign exchange earnings.
Importance of the packaging industry sector:
1.
As packaging technology development is one of the keys to food loss reduction, and as addressing
food loss is relevant to both the poor smallholder food producer and the poor food insecure consumer,
the issue of food losses and the development of packaging solutions to address them are major global
concerns.
2.
The packaging industry is the world’s third largest industry sector, next only to food and
petrochemical industries. It is also among the top five industries in almost all countries, with its annual
growth rate of 3-5%, which is a range even higher than the GDP’s growth rate in almost all countries.
3.
Present day innovations and responses to changing consumer preferences and demands have extended
functions of packaging from mere protection to include promotion, information, convenience,
initiation and handling.
4.
Packaging becomes an added P to the 4 Ps of marketing (product, price, place, promotion),
particularly in terms of facilitating branding, product differentiation and identity which is best
communicated at the point of purchase
On packaging and food loss in the value chains
5.
Packaging spans the entire value chain and is a shared responsibility for all trading partners. Losses are
highest at pre- and post harvest stages in developing countries underscoring the need to focus on
packaging solutions and concomitant farm to market support infrastructures required at these stages of
the value chain. This is in great contrast to the industrialized countries where losses are at their peak at
the retail and consumption stages.
6.
Products generally represent greater resources and have a much higher inherent value than the
packaging used to protect them. Thus, product losses due to underperforming packaging could cause
greater adverse effects on the environment than the gains made through packaging reduction.
7.
Knowing what the losses are as well as when, where and how they occur can help pinpoint solutions,
packaging included to minimize them. In the same manner, knowing which packaging solutions are
available, currently and in the future, is a crucial first step in addressing food loss.
On packaging trends and potentials for development
8.
A lot of changes are occurring in the global food system from the way the foods are produced,
distributed, stored, processed and retailed. This increasing dynamism in the food system, on the one
hand is placing a lot of challenges on the packaging industries, but on the other hand is opening up
opportunities and potentials for the packaging industry to develop and appropriately respond to.
9.
The trend towards processing traditional export commodities at the country source and the introduction
of new consumer-packed products from developing countries to the world market will necessitate a
thorough understanding of customer requirements in industrialized countries on the part of developing
country exporters. This brings with it accompanying challenges in terms of marketing directly to
consumers in target markets, using their own brand names, and maintaining competitive packaging
designs and of high quality levels, challenges that likewise spill-over to the packaging industry in
developing countries, as well as their exporters
.
7.12 Selling Arrangement:
At present the existing corrugated market sector in the area sell their products directly from the plant
side. As per buyer requirements through Back to Back L/C, all the products will be delivered to the
respective buyer.
