Corrugated Box Reduced Cost Series Solutions (1)

Only 5% of cartons can get high profits. Are you in it? Do you wish to join this rank?
“Why are we going to open the 'Reducing the Cost of Corrugated Paper Production Solutions' section?” At the pre-editing session of paper packaging in this issue, several editorial reporters turned over and thought over this issue. In my opinion, the cost of corrugated paper production is affected by many factors. Its complexity makes many carton factory managers feel that they have no control over the cost of control, or they think that they have already controlled it very well, but the effect is not obvious. Therefore, for most CEOs of carton companies, the most embarrassing problem is how to win more orders and win profits by quantity. This creates a vicious competition environment. I think that the purpose of opening this column is to remind carton companies that the effective control and reduction of production costs can also yield considerable profits. This is even more practical than getting a large number of orders. We will start with the paper that accounts for the largest cost in production. We will continue to interview some excellent carton companies for advanced experience in corrugated board production, printing, die-cutting and other production processes, technical control, and corporate management, and invite paper packaging. The representatives of experts, raw materials, machinery, accessories, auxiliary materials and consumables etc. were jointly involved in the discussion of solutions to reduce the production cost of corrugated paper. As long as the profits of carton companies have increased, our goal has also been reached.
In previous issues, we had issued a letter from the Managing Director of Minli Machine Co., Ltd., Mr. Dong Shishili, “to the letter from the carton industry”. In the letter, he mentioned that only about 5% of the carton enterprises are willing to follow Others have advanced experience to become a high-profit carton company, and 95% of carton manufacturers insist on operating their own business in a way that they do not want to accept or learn advanced things from others. This phenomenon is also applicable to daily life and other industrial production areas. Psychologists call it "positive 5%". This positive 5% will eventually become the best carton company and can obtain higher profits and more. Loyal customers. We hope that all readers will actively strive to join this “best 5%” rank. Let us work together!
In the market economy today, more and more companies use the cost of reducing their own product packaging as a competitive measure. This is undoubtedly a new challenge for the carton industry, which is already a meager profit. Whoever wins a customer is equivalent to winning the market. However, how to make customer satisfaction is a real problem for every carton company. One of the most effective ways to solve problems is to reduce their own production costs and reduce product prices to attract customers. Here we will focus on the problems and solutions commonly encountered in the production of corrugated cartons, as well as the experience of colleagues in the industry.
Scheme 1 Carton Production Enterprise Experience (Harbin Hexin Packaging & Printing Co., Ltd.)
In respect of the procurement of raw paper, a special meeting is held twice a year for competitive bidding, and the quality and price are commensurate with merit procurement.
2. The clear quality standards of the order contract must meet the technical specifications of GB13023-91 and GB13024-91.
3, the weight of each bundle of paper shall not be less than 800-1000 kilograms, and deduct 7 kg of kraft paper and paper core.
4, the appearance of damaged folding deductions, each bundle of paper joints can not exceed two.
5, super-hydraulic, super-quantitative partial weight deduction.
6. Long-term products purchase different specifications of raw paper according to different discharge rates.
During the production process 1, the cost of raw materials is accurately accounted for, which means that the reasonable loss of each process and insufficient discharge rate are appropriately included in the cost of raw materials.
2. Scientifically and rationally arrange production, and use the best specification paper production for row yield.
3, each order must have Qi, Qing, set, shorten the production cycle.
4. Establish a complete piece rate assessment system to improve labor efficiency.
5. Establish standards for the rate of rejects in various processes and strictly assess and reward and punish them.
6. Establish the quota standard for the consumption of auxiliary materials for various processes, and strictly assess and reward and punish them.
Waste (recycling of waste paper):
1. The unqualified products produced by each process, that is, the wastes are categorized and sorted by special personnel and used to be changed into boxes.
2. Make waste that cannot be modified into attachments.
3, the output of the edge material spliced ​​into a box or made of accessories.
4, waste paper and other waste paper paste into a variety of low-grade cartons or accessories.
In short, from raw material input to output, strict control must be exercised, and utilization of paper should be continuously improved through comprehensive utilization.

Yongfengyu (Guangzhou) Paper Co., Ltd. Paper procurement 1. Reduce the variety of raw paper and joint procurement. A purchase, batch feed.
2. Specify the safety stock period to ensure that the quality of the base paper used in production meets the requirements.
3. Analyze the interaction of international economy, pay attention to the inventory status of the five major cartons producing countries, analyze the price trend of the base paper, and purchase the right amount according to the rise and fall situation.
To control costs in the actual production process, it is first necessary to analyze the data and the average cost in the industry. Taking ink as an example, color separation management will be used in the initial stage, and the ink will be exchanged or used as a training employee. The control of ink consumption on the upper and lower machines will be minimized, and at the same time, relevant data will be collected, analyzed, and calculated. The average amount of ink consumed per square meter. Yongfengyu is the earlier introduction of ink transfer equipment in the same industry. The ink manufacturers recover the remaining products after each transfer of ink, thereby reducing inventory and reducing sluggish inventory. In addition, improving the speed of proofing and speeding up the operation of equipment is also an effective way to reduce costs.
Waste (paper) aspects:
Waste paper is collected in a centralized manner, packaged by waste paper balers, and sold to the upstream paper mills for recycling.

Plan 2 Original Paper Purchase Notice (Qinhuangdao Zhongnan Fengman Paper Co., Ltd.)
In the second half of last year, the prices of international wood pulp and American waste papers have been declining. Until March this year, prices have risen slowly. This has directly caused the increase in the cost of paper mills. From April to the end of June, the price of wood pulp has risen by 1,000. Yuan/ton, the price of waste paper also rose by 300 yuan/ton. Basically float once a week. Short-term price increases can be accepted by paper mills. However, over time, paper prices will definitely rise. In the papermaking industry, there is no clear distinction between seasons and seasons. Only in July, our factory will generally have a relative off-season. Some carton companies will have annual leave. As soon as it entered the month of August, it began to stress production again. For the carton factory, it should pay close attention to changes in the international pulp market and guide procurement. The use of good quality paper can help improve corporate image, reduce losses, and save costs.
Dali paper mills in Yunnan Province prefer to use high-strength, low-gross-weight products during the purchase of base paper by cartons. Because the purchase of base paper is based on grammage, although the quality of the base paper is relatively expensive in terms of price, but the weight is low, and overall it is still cost-effective.
