Packaging, in our time, is a very necessary thing. It serves as a means of protection against mechanical effects on the product, protects the environment from the negative effects of production products. In addition, it serves as a means for many manufacturers to declare their products. 
Promotional packaging will help orient the buyer to what he is acquiring and thereby increase sales.
The packaging industry is now engaged in many factories and printing houses. Packaging can be metal, cardboard, paper, combination, glass and wood. The shape of the package may also be different. Cardboard packaging occupies a leading position among packages; this is a common type of packaging that is used at most manufacturing enterprises. The production of cardboard packaging is considered environmentally safer than the production of plastic and any other packaging. Cardboard is the most economical material of all, therefore, it has always been in high demand in the packaging material market.
For the manufacture of cardboard boxes used recycled gray cardboard and bleached pulp cardboard. Packages of food products, perfumes, medicines, household appliances are made from coated cardboard.
Cardboard box manufacturing is a rather complicated process, with many steps in production. Modern equipment, such as round-mesh machines, with many sections make it possible to produce multilayer packaging, depending on the purpose, the more layers, the more durable products it is intended for. The production of a cardboard box begins with the manufacture of a layout for future packaging, it will serve as a template in production, then a design is developed, it is agreed in advance with the customer. Then you can proceed directly to cutting cardboard on a cutting machine. Then the packaging goes to the marking, which indicates the level of moisture resistance, directions of use, fragility of the packaged goods.
By production of packing preferences of the client are considered. The width, height and depth of the package, the approximate weight of the packaged product, the number of ventilation holes and carrying devices are agreed in advance.
The final step in the production of packaging is its gluing, on automatic folding machines, then it is dried. After which the package is wrapped in sawn and stacked. Then the finished product is tested for strength, moisture resistance, resistance to compression, shock resistance and is agreed with the customer. As a rule, this type of production is not single, but mass. Many enterprises do not accept small-scale orders, exceptions are only unique packaging, they are more expensive in value, due to the greater contribution of funds and objects of labor. At the request of the customer, the cardboard box can be varnished, which creates the effect of a smooth surface that improves the appearance of the package and its technical characteristics. Also, for protective reasons, the product can be hot stamped.
Why many people prefer to engage in the packaging business is because of the short payback periods of projects. The only drawback when opening an enterprise is the relative high cost of equipment for manufacturing, and a number of equipment is required for the production of high-tech products.But even despite all the difficulties of this industry, he does not withdraw his position in the packaging material market.
