Select the core paper and psoriasis you need

The combination of core paper and psoriasis allows cartons to manufacture products that range from strong, inexpensive cartons to elaborate, high-priced products that meet the packaging needs of their products.

The use of different patterns of cardboard can receive some special effects, such as compression, shock, weight and so on. Appropriate choice can also reduce the use of materials and storage space.

Strive for standardization

Corrugated board is produced with large rolls. Every new combination of psoriasis and core paper needs to be shut down and replaced with new paper rolls, which results in the waste of equipment and production materials. In other words, assisting a paper mill to reduce the number of paper changes is as much as reducing his losses and reducing your costs.

Familiar with the production operation of carton factory

As a carton factory customer, you'd better find out about their equipment and how Mingli can use its production flexibility. This can help you find a way to “throttle” and create conditions for your company to expand your business.

Learn how carton plants can save costs

One thing worth paying attention to is the printing on the carton. A uniform ink color saves money by eliminating the need for special spot colors and printing with other orders without shutting down. Red and black are two commonly used inks. You can benefit more by using the above arrangement.

During the processing of paper products, there may be occasional pick-ups. If the manufacturer agrees with the owner, use them as cushions or spaces, which is also a way to save a lot of money.

From the printing point of view, the cost of the plastic sheet used for printing is quite high. Such expenses can sometimes be applied elsewhere. To reduce costs, it is necessary to reduce conversion patterns or gimmicks.

Procurement should focus, avoid dispersion

Your order quantity per order has a large impact on costs. You need to know that starting up and shutting down can be expensive; if you start a large batch of production at the same time, this will not only have the same product quality, but also be less expensive.

The carton factory cannot produce accurate carton boxes for the users each time, but there will be surplus. The user can leave the remaining cartons as spare and will not be wasted. That is, to allow the carton to have the appropriate flexibility in the delivery quantity; otherwise, the multi-carton will still fall on the customer's order cost.

Make full use of carton patterns and shapes

Carton boxes can be designed in a variety of shapes depending on various needs. However, in general, the cost is lowest for cartons with the smallest area and the strongest material. The regular slotted container (RSC) has a length twice the width and a height equal to the length (ie, L=2W=H), and is a design that makes the most effective use of the corrugated paper area. Of course, the design of other cartons also has certain economic, practical and convenient values.

Carton design can be handed over to the carton factory. Using their professional knowledge, production experience and advanced computer equipment, we can design the carton style with the least area and the most compatible.

After reading and comparing the carton boxes in detail, you may even have a pleasant surprise.

It is worth mentioning that the product is placed in the carton. If you rearrange the products in the carton, you often have unexpected results, just like changing to a better carton.

For example, on the carton, it is printed on the recycling mark, the best multi-case stacking method to protect the product, the storage form, the effective date and other relevant information. Allows you to earn goodwill without penny.
