Certificate Course in Corrugated Packaging - Automatic Process

  • Module I: Board Manufacturing : 14-16 May 2010
  • Module II : Box Manufacturing : 17-18 May 2010

Industry Overview

The demand for high performance corrugated boxes matching international standards has created the need for high quality kraft paper and modernizing of the manufacturing operations. The corrugated packaging industry in India has witnessed the setting up of an increasing number of automatic board making plants in the recent years. This signals the impending transformation of the industry and the future trends. Compared to operations on semi automatic machines, manufacture of corrugated boards and boxes on automatic plants calls for a totally different understanding of the raw material requirements, quality parameters as well as manufacturing operations. Other aspects like scheduling, planning, wastage, energy etc. also play an important role.

Course Perspective

The Certificate Course on Corrugated Packaging - Automatic Process aims to cover the entire gamut of these aspects, to enable the participants to understand and appreciate the factors involved in the efficient and profitable running of an automatic plant.

Faculty

During the 5 days, presentations will be made by renowned experts with experience in the field. Around 50% of the faculty will be overseas experts. The faculty will comprise of speakers from all over India - Ahmedabad, Chennai, Delhi, Guntur, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Mysore, Nashik Pune, Rajkot, Silvassa and from other countries including: Germany, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Switzerland, Sweden, UAE and UK.

Venue
