Boxes are made with sustainability in mind - from the paper that’s used to the scraps that are recycled along the way. To trace the life of a corrugated box to see how they’re made and printed, we went down to U.S. Corrugated (uscorr.com/) to see how they’re innovating to make the process fast, nimble, and most of all - good for the planet.

I have been in this industry and am very familiar with the equipment and the company. I have watched a number of videos on corrugated and I often find they have a variety of flaws. Your presentation was flawless. Everything you said was accurate. I was amused that you showed a jam up on the stacker of the rotary die cutter tho. Real good job you guys did. Corrugated has been recycling for decades. A baler to bale scrap has been in box plants probably back into the 50's or 60's. By the time I got to the industry in the 70's, there was no such thing as a company that did not bale and sell scrap, OCC as you correctly identified it. Again, great job.
Same here buddy same here I've been in the industry for a little while I've operated everything from the corrugator the labeler I operated the palletiser the only thing I only machine I have yet to operate in my young career is the slitter or the slicer I believe we call it the splicer and I work very hard I'm like a chess piece for the company I go wherever they want I do whatever they want I operate whatever they want I'm an overall kind of guy I guess you could say I'm like a manufacturing tactician not trying to brag or boost myself you know I respect for guys like you that have been in the industry for a long time and I'm a young guy in his thirties that you know trying to build his life and go to resume with this industry everything I learned comes from guys like you older guys that have been in the industry for a long time my background is more in steel coils that's how I got into this industry I used to process a manufacturing machines that did steal which is the same concept except you know it's steel Wii flute it we slice it it's in roles we can cut it into sheet we can reroll it we can do all that matter of fact we had big contracts with companies that made electric cars and you know battery companies and stuff like that which was a special grade of metal with was in a copper-coated steel but now I'm in the cardboard industry and I love it I love the work but why I have someone with experience here I would like to ask you a question I work my ass off I work first shift and my boss is love me everybody loves me anybody who gets me on their machine loves me why all of a sudden did they move me to 3rd Shift I'm very confused and perplexed by this situation it's more money and it's you know a night time shift sounds cooler but what do you think honestly is someone who's been in the industry a long time if you were on First and you made a certain amount of money and then worked your ass off and then they came to you on a Friday and told you you're working third shift next week you make more money and all that would you say this is a positive or negative? Meaning do you think the company is moving me to 3rd Shift to get more production out of their shift or moving me to 3rd Shift cuz they don't like me on first?
I love the enthusiasm and creativity of your videos.
At 3:25 there's a jam up in the stacking section
Hi! This channel is absolutely amazing. I just took a job doing sales for a paper & supplies company (coming from a beer salesman background) and while my bosses can explain things to me, these visual aids and your enthusiasm truly are crucial to me. Thank you for all your help.
Thanks so much! We're so happy to hear that. Best of luck in your new position, and if we start a series on the beer logistics, now we know who to call. 😊
Hahaha, I always say while I don't know everything about beer, I know a lot...and I'm always happy to impart some of that knowledge. :-)
Awesome explanation and a good primer to carton making processes!
I love the way you sharing SO ATTRACTIVE
You are great! Very clear explanations. Im a corrugated guy and think these videos are great
Thanks, Michael Moore!
Super clear explenations! Love it :)
Really thought this was going to be awful but I was wrong, it was right on the money. I’ve been in the business for 34 years and could not have explained it better myself.
Thanks for watching! We're setting out to exceed everyone's packaging expectations :)
Thank you so much for these videos. How can I reach to you talk about having you come and talk to our members?
Yes, the jam-up on the die-cutter was great! Glad to see that was left in - I blame the structural designer for that one. Interesting to hear this plant is also using recycled waste water to make up their corrugator adhesive. I'm sure the starch supplier loves that (sarcasm).
Nice jam up starting at 3:27 ! In the biz as well and these vids are great
Kris Warren I said the same thing..then rolled threw the comments u said the same lol
Really like your video and wish I visit personally!
Thank you for your information 😘😘😘 and your voice is very nice
I would consider the company i work for one of the most sustainable independent converters in the US. These are great videos for everyone
Thank you, Michael! That's great to hear :)
Haha i worked in santa fe spings the warren group. I did some design for them.
Worth watching
This plant looks really nice new up-to date not like the old junk international paper has.
Tnk u so much...👏
Woah now - how did you get a spinner ball on that forklift? I miss those days.
YOU ROCK!
how i can made the box paper with out having industry
Thankyou for this quality video, showing the jam up on the stacking section was great, but one complaint was she wearing steel toe shoes that are slip resistant? in the video it looks like she was wearing regular shoes. Sorry for being knit picky. I know that there is no room to not follow safety protocol in this industry. Safety is number one in any company.
Hi Lumi! If you don't mind me asking, what kind of camera did you use to film this?
We use a Canon Mark 3 5D :)
How to make a die counting box on this plant??
Not the box factory AGAIN Seymour?!
What's that building over there? - That's just a TV studio where they film Krusty the Clown and other non-box-related programs. Since it has nothing to do with boxes, I'll just shut these blinds.
Super video gang! One thing though ~ Jessie might want to tie that hair back when in these industrial facilitys. Lots of unforgiving machines about!
This lovely lady obviously studied at the Scotty Kilmer talking with you hands institute.
Really interesting!
Wow!..
Where i can do corogation course in india
How much cost this machine??
Millions
Our corrugator maxed out can run 90k lineal feet in one hour. But our average is 68k/hr
We run 24k a hour LMAOO
How much do flexo operators make an hour?
28 here in so cal
What, what??? Saw the flat box material & waste-recycle stuff, but no "formed box!!! " There seems to be missing the box-forming process??? So how does the corrugated get formed??? Just pointing out.
Better than ip
Marco Hernandez lol
In SOUTH CAROLINA?
IP in EG?
Better then Pratt.
♥️♥️♥️♥️😍🤩
omfg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nooooo ,,,,,, trucking those rolls of paper were a pain in the ass.... heavy
I work at international paper. our flexo gluer runs at 500 boxes per min, we don't have a robotic stacker, it's all human labor but you bet your ass hes hauling ass.
My teacher put that for my homework. -_-
The new number is 52% recycled fiber
All I can think of is how pointless it is having an opaque roof and then having those horrible lights.
But is still good okay 👌
I’ll corrugate your box 📦
i wonder if she's forklift certified
I do this crap for a living. I wish my plant was that hi tech
What do you do at the box plant?
MrArtVendelay I work on a flexo folder gluer.
I operated a single facer. Very hot and noisy.
wœw noice
And yet they still cry about waste
