- Ever wondered how corrugated boxes are made? This step by step process shows how they are manufactured and produced by Georgia-Pacific, a leading box manufacturer. The video shows how to make a corrugated box from sustainable raw materials using machines in an industrial setting.
Georgia-Pacific uses their manufacturing capabilities to create the perfect corrugated box. Starting with raw material, the corrugated board is crafted using many machines in unison. Materials are combined in a single facer to create a strong, protective middle layer. While there are a variety of box types, each box starts the same way. Georgia-Pacific guides you through every step it takes to produce a corrugated box that is supporting of any content inside. We manufactured a variety of corrugated boxes with features including; standard, specialty, double-walled, triple-walled, water-resistant packaging, bulk bins, high-finish and pre-printed packaging for point-of-sale displays.

I worked for 41 years in this industry, all on the same site, (Wigan) It started off as Reed Int, then it became SCA Packaging, then we were taken over by a Spanish firm Sieca, I worked in practically every process from the corrugator, flexo's, printer's, fork lifts, clamp truck driving, I ran a machine called a Bahmuller semi auto stitcher in the early days, I worked a 3 shift system, (nights-afternoons-days) for most of the time, 35-36 years and the remaining years I ran the effluent plant, treating all the waste water from the machines. I've been retired 3 years now and I'm BLOODY loving it!....I don't miss the job, but I miss the guys I worked with.
The science is fairly simple, but the engineering is beyond genius.
Putting out such cumbersome material out at such great production speed obviously took decades of competitive advancement.
I'm a packaging Engineer in the UK, I have helped to or been in charge of installing at least 8 Corrugators and have disassembled a load more, it has been my life, I'mm 66 years old now and for the last number of years I have concentrated on Hand fed die cut machines because they are not so hard work, I'm too old to install that shit anymore, but I really enjoyed going all over the World doing it.
I was an estimator/job scheduler/cost analyst/production manager in a sheet plant in the late 70s in Los Angeles. It's interesting to see how far things have come in 40 years. We ran orders as small as 250 boxes up to about 2500. I used to inspect the pallets of sheets coming in. Almost all our B and C flute sheets were 84" x 55 - 110". We bought board from Fibreboard, Continental Can, Western Kraft, Boise Cascade, and a little Georgia Pacific. Had some sharp forklift drivers who could spot delamination problems pretty quickly. I'll bet the corrugators have solved that now with sensors so delamination errors never get shipped out.
I loved working as a reliability technician for this company if young, learn electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, steam, plc, it is a challenging work environment, but well worth working for this company in my humble opinion almost 25 years
Cliedo Cladidahopper can you hit me up,I have a few questions as I am interviewing for hire.Ty
Back in the early '70's I worked in a speaker factory. We got boxes from a manufacturer in Nashua, New Hampshire. I was just 17 when I started working there. Every now and then some boxes would have to be sent back and a couple of us young guys would send notes stuffed in the stack. Somehow we got replies from a girl in the plant in Nashua. All innocent but fun.
I work for International Paper and I must say, I'm impressed on how clean GP is.
nice vid... i was a switchman for chicago and northwestern... we had you guys as a customer out of milwaukee wi... would watch the clamp truck operator unload the box cars of kraftliner... always wondered what they did with those giant rolls beyond the railroad dock... now i know... thanks for the informative vid
Great video for new comers in Corrugated field
I worked in a Box factory many years ago. Things have changed. : )
This is a great video. I'm in the roller business and you never stop learning. We do some work in the States and Mexico for GP and proud to work for them.
Got to love all those names of the machines - they tell it like it is. No acronyms.
I'm a supervisor in the corrugator at ActionBox Inc... I have to say this is a great video.. We have the same machines as this one.
All I can say is WOW!!!
Even when u know how its made. Its still incredible, with high tech equipment enabling them to produce different types in real time. Amazing vid!
I WORK IN THIS KIND OF PLANT AND I'M LOVING IT! CANADA HERE.
looking to start paper bag factory. Need ur help in marketing.
Please email ur contact details to infoeca46@gmail.com
Allan Mendoza how is it going? Today was my first day on PCA
Very fascinating to watch, and so detailed. The factory I work for doesn't use any custom equipment, have any government contracts, or make anything cutting edge, and would have a heart attack if a camera was on the floor. So thanks for sharing such an i depth look for a geek like me who loves this kind of stuff.
40+ years in the industry, ran everything from slitter to printer slotter to being flat and rotary die maker and package design, then I opened up my own small sheet plant for about 15 years. The corrugated industry gets into your blood.
Which machine puts the razor sharp edge on the box flaps?
Wow, increíble todo el proceso, sabia que era especial pero superó todo,es impresionante ver el grado de coordinación y tamaño de cada sección de las máquinas. Gracias por compartir su información y conocimiento
I worked in a WeyCo box plant for 17 years. This video looks good but it doesn't always work the way it should. If the board is warped coming off the corrugator, which is just about all the time, nothing will go right out on the production floor.
I just got into the business. I built camping trailers for years, now I run a GD 1228. I have learned a lot within a short time. The first thing I learned was don't call it cardboard, jeez that ticks 'em off real good for some reason. Make a video on that! Lol
Till I'm working in packaging unit it's very useful videos it develop myself thank you Georgia Pacific
Really great video
great men great job i really appreciate georgia-pacific effort to bring better understanding of corrugated business that really enjoyed it
I wana know when this most recent series of machines were built! I'm sure some have been in use for longer than others, and theyre extremely well maintained and updated as needed. I'm just curious as to when things got this efficient and speedy. so cool honestly. I wana know what team of people developed all this toooooo
I worked in a food warehouse, and our boss just ordered one from amazon, amaing, SAVE our time and reduce injuries，love that！！！
Oh we don't assemble them here. That's done in Flint Michigan.
waw... the best Corrugated Boxes ever
Very interesting and well-explained video. I like the animations used to elaborate the processes.
Great film, awesome graphics, and awesome technology, too.
Boy oh boy do I want a box of boxes!
Good factory
I operate Rotary diecut machine but this machine is a whole new level
Wonderfully made video and explanation...Very insightful
Enjoyed my time on a corrugater. 8 years on the downstacker
Chris Moore can you hit me up..I have a few questions.Thanks
Bestest video on UA-cam about corrugated box😍
This guy talking in the intro talks like that one kid who the teacher forced to read something out loud for the class lol
More clean and auto than my factory place
This video is really well done. Reminds me of the How Things Work show on Science channel. I am hoping to get hired at GP in Sheboygan...
This was awesome.
Great to see it all. I m a reseller of corrugated rolls
Good morning Naqash where are you based?
Take note that the product coming out of the singlefacer is quite flexible still and stores in folds. The sinusoidal part (the medium and generally of lesser quality and strength) takes about three times more
length than the straight sheet. The glue is only at the crest and it sets within 20 seconds or less. Once it goes through the doublebacker the product becomes the standard 'cardboard' and is stiff. Generally one face is of better quality and will go on the
outside of the client's box.
Great video
Wow i love this video! really taught me so much about the cardboard world LOL keep it up! 10/10 loved it! will be subscribing!!!
What should be the viscosity of glue/gum used in the pasting process of corrugation process
How are the rolls fed into the splicer?
It's great to see how the sausage is made! I am a huge fan of your product! Great informational, more people need to know this stuff!
I can hear Skinner and Martin giggling already.
Good work god Delivery Packaging. 👍🏻😊
im a single facer operator great job
What company do you work for
Cristian Camarillo
Cristian Camarillo I am a single facer operator, and also 7 year experience
Nice video, good automation..
A line that intersects with respect to the cardboard path always works better than a line parallel to the cardboard path.good
Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) in the house
Where do I get the book boxes that Amazon uses? Says they are made by GP but who sells them?
Need to add the update of FFGs can make more than 1 box per blank. Especially with twin box slitters
Very Helpful video.
holy sh*t best intro ever xD xD
Very interesting. Thank you.
i work for georgia pacific andi love it and it pays my bills

Cristian Camarillo I come from a paper mill town, my dad and friends worked there. I never got to see inside it. So I'm glad I came across this site. :-)
Nice machines, Better then the company I use to work at. Wish I had that Clearvison software money well spent. Company I work at spent money in the wrong places.
Nice machine
That's some juicy cardboard sheets
amazing，New friend here. All the best for 2020!
Cool vid
thanks for sharing this .
do you sell boxes for knitting machine for shipping
It's really nice to not hear someone say "cardboard" in the video. That's a sin in the industry. Love the Thermobars too.
worked in the industry called it cardbord, since corrugated sounds pretentious
Nice machine!
Nice video ..I am working in this line as a quality executive
good, I'm vietnamese, I like it
if someone is interested in the customer service aspect of taking the orders from the sales team members out in the field or call in customers; can you suggest Math resources to practice for taking orders? THis may sound elementary but I have no experience in the business. Looking for tips and resources for the Math involved. thanks
manufacturing show in this video step by step interesting machining process
I was a sliter operator on an old school corrugator. Hand set up with a t wrench and tape measure. Not fun...in tampa florida with humidity at 100%
I was an offbearer on a corrugater about 45 years ago at Owens-Illinois in ALTON, il.
What is the method of preparing glue?
And ingredients to paste layers of waterproof paper
Nice video ..
Who or which company did your motion info i want to khow how to do the rolling motion
Beautiful Factory, Interested to join in your team as Machine Maintenance
I'm doing a case study for my Masters at university and I am going to look at the cardboard making process to see if I can model it in order to suggest improvements to the process. Is there anywhere I can get detailed figures / timings for each part of the process? I'm finding these hard to come by. Thanks
wow really cool video do you work with distrubtors or directly with consumers?
Where you have bought all this machines
My son's a box!
Feel like I'm on The Simpsons school field day out
ahhahahahahahahahahahhaha
*I N T E R E S T I N G*
Cool
This is nice, but they should have went with EAM-Mosca instead of Signode for unitizing.
nice
GPI with the Bobst star fold!!
What type of glue do you use?
Nice and great up to the mark #sarokarngo
Lmao that guy definitely isn’t reading his lines at the end
Any one knows about small carogated box plant.
IP all the way!!!
Lots of machinery, but really - how many paper cuts happen every day here?
some people said box compression load test is not applicable to wrap around carton, coz the structure is not suppose support that, and it's applicable to open top carton. why is that?
+JoJo Wong It is because of the nature of its design. Wrap around cartons do not offer good stacking compared to open tops since its openings are located on the sides. The total stacking strength of the box relies on the strength from its side panels (mainly on the corners). A single opening on its sides gives the box a lower potential stacking strength. It is the reason why open top cartons are ideal for stacking requirements because all sides are complete or close. In terms of stacking strength, wrap around design is not comparable to open tops. The box compression test method is applicable only for open tops slotted cartons such as regular slotted containers and other designs with seminar body structure.
Open tops were designed for high stacking and shipping purposes while wrap around carton were designed for heavy contents. It's the reason why the bottom structure of the wrap around is close instead of flaps to support its content. In fact, open top cartons uses C flute while wrap around uses B flute. Comparing the two flutes, C flute is better at stacking while B flute is better at flat crush strength.
I want to apply for job. I have 5 years experience box sample maker and rotary die maker.
What is in the box that keeps it safe
plus safety every employee has the right to improve the conditions at the plant they work at
I deliver the boxes for international paper container plant in Putnam Connecticut
I work here
I do these job in Ein Hamifratz 40 years ago
