Cardboard Production Cost Breakup From Heavy Duty Layered Papers

Details: Germany - based plant Q2 2024  | From $ USD

This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of cardboard production heavy duty layered papers. The production process of cardboard sheets, or cardboard products, begins with the production of heavy-duty layered paper sheets. The process begins by processing the paper pulp comprising of processed softwood variety, and recycled paper sheets. The pulp undergoes refining and is spread evenly to obtain uniform paper sheets after pressing it. The sheets are passed on to dry and are layered over each other to obtain heavy-duty paper sheets for cardboard. The heavy-duty layered paper sheets are processed through folding, cutting, and shaping to obtain the required cardboard products as the final product.

  • Packaging Corporation of America
  • Georgia-Pacific
  • WestRock Company
  • Stora Enso

Feedstock for Cardboard

Cardboard is a paper product, obtained by using softwood and recycled papers as its primary feedstock. The procurement of cardboard is majorly dependent upon factors such as the availability and processing cost of paper pulp (comprising of softwood varieties such as wood of pine tree and spruce, etc., along with other recycled papers), as well as its market prices and logistics, etc. There are various other factors, including its demand as a packaging material (for production of boxes, used to pack food, beverages, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other commercial products) that play a vital role and influence its procurement. Moreover, factors such as trade, supply, transportation, and governmental policies have a prominent impact on its industrial procurement across various regions.
