✦ Synopsis

W i t h the shortage of timber for wooden crates and boxes, the increasing demand for light weight and reprocersable containers, and last but not least the swing from fresh to canned and tinned foods, the corrugated and laminated cardboard box has made a tremendous advance to higher production rate and better quality. While 40 years ago the speed of the corrugated cardboard machine was just a mere 10 and less feet per minute, now machines are designed to operate at 500 feet per minute at a width of 90 inches. The following graph (fig. I ) gives an idea of the development of this industry in the USA during the last 40 years.
