GUIDELINES TO MAKE PROJECT REPORT FOR PAPER CORRUGATED BOARD AND BOX MAKING PLANT: BOARD AND BOX MANUFACTURING PROCESS: Corrugated Board is made with a Corrugated Sheet of paper attached to the facing of flat paper, usually Kraft/Media paper by adhesive. In India, it is mostly produced over a SINGLE FACER MACHINE. Here two paper reels are run together. One layer of paper becomes corrugated after passing through the heated corrugated rolls and the other is brought into contact with it after the former having glued at the trips. Thus both get pasted together and are wound in rolls. The resulting roll is now known as 2-PLY CORRUGATED BOARD. By cutting this roll into sheets with either manual BOARD CUTTER or by on line automatic ROTARY SHEET CUTTER and then gluing the corrugated side by a SHEET PASTING MACHINE and placing 3RD-PLY of paper over it, Double face or 3-PLY CORRUGATED BOARD is produced. This board is kept under pressure in the SHEET PRESSING MACHINE for some time, for setting of the wet glued sheets to remain straight and get dried. Similarly board to board is pasted to form thicker boards i.e. 5-ply, 7-ply, 9-ply or more as required. MAKING OF BOXES FROM SHEETS: The process of manufacturing of Boxes or Cartons constitute five main operations: 1. Slitting or Longitudinal cutting. 2. Creasing. 3. Slotting. 4. Flap or Corner cutting. 5. Stitching. After passing the sheets through these operations, Boxes or cartons are ready to use. Slitting and Creasing operations can simultaneously be carried over a 4-BAR ROTARY CUTTING AND CREASING MACHINE. The trimmed and creased sheet is slotted and flap cut on an ECCENTRIC SLOTTING MACHINE. Finally it is either stitched over a BOX WIRE STITCHING MACHINE or glued/taped manually. For partition boxes, the half slotted boards are used, which can conveniently be produced over a PARTITION SLOTTING MACHINE. SPACE REQUIRED (LAND AND BUILDING): For Office. : 200 Sq. Ft.

Then 2L + 2B + 2" be length of sheet (let A). B + H be the width of sheet (let B). (A + B ) will be the area of sheet used for the said box and 2" is the margin for stitching/pasting. Weight/(meter) into square of the sheet = weight of Box. Cost of Paper + Gum + Wire + Labour + Profit = Sale price.
