At International PaperBox, we’re always looking for ways to serve our clients better. Recently, we've embarked on a major overhaul of our folding carton production floor, focusing on enhancing workflow and implementing lean manufacturing principles.


Improved Workflow for Greater Efficiency


Our goal is to create a seamless folding carton production process that minimizes waste and maximizes productivity. By rearranging our production floor, we’ve optimized the flow of materials and products, reducing bottlenecks and improving overall efficiency. This means faster turnaround times and consistent, high-quality products for our clients.


Lean Manufacturing Principles


Lean manufacturing emphasizes creating more value for customers with fewer resources. By adopting these principles, we aim to:


  • Reduce Waste: Eliminate unnecessary steps in our production process.

  • Enhance Flexibility: Quickly adapt to changes in demand or production requirements.

  • Improve Quality: Maintain the highest standards of product quality and consistency.

What This Means for Our Clients


For our clients, these changes translate to faster lead times, lower costs, and products that meet the highest standards of quality. We’re committed to delivering exceptional packaging solutions that help our clients stand out in the market.


Introducing Our New Jogger Aerator: Boosting Capacity and Quality


To meet the growing demand for our products, we’ve invested in new state-of-the-art equipment, including a Jogger Aerator from Woodward. This addition is part of our commitment to increasing capacity and maintaining the highest standards of quality.


Enhanced Capacity


The new Jogger Aerator allows us to handle larger volumes of folding carton production with greater efficiency. This means we can meet increasing client demands without compromising on quality or lead times.


Improved Quality Control


The Jogger Aerator plays a critical role in ensuring our products are of the highest quality. By thoroughly aerating and aligning paper stacks, it helps us maintain consistency and precision in our production process.


Benefits for Our Clients


With this new equipment, our clients can expect:


  • Faster Lead Times: Increased production capacity means quicker turnaround.

  • Superior Quality: Enhanced precision and consistency in every product.

  • Scalability: Ability to handle large orders efficiently.

Expanding Our Folding Carton Operations with Additional Shifts


In response to the increasing demand for our folding carton and packaging solutions, we’re implementing a second shift starting August 1. This expansion is a strategic move to boost our production capacity and reduce lead times, ensuring we can meet our clients' needs more effectively.


Increased Folding Carton Production Capacity

By adding a second shift, we’re doubling our production hours. This means we can take on more projects and deliver them faster, without sacrificing quality.


Reduced Lead Times

With additional shifts, we can now offer lead times as short as 4-5 weeks. This is significantly shorter than the industry standard, allowing our clients to get their products to market faster.


Enhanced Flexibility

The second shift provides us with greater flexibility to accommodate urgent orders and special requests. Our clients can rely on us to deliver high-quality packaging solutions quickly and efficiently.


Dedication to top-tier packaging and folding carton  solutions
Our commitment to quality and fast lead-times is apparent in our continuous improvements and investments.

Commitment to Customer Success


At International PaperBox, our clients’ success is our top priority. By expanding our operations and investing in new equipment, we’re ensuring that we can meet their evolving needs with speed, precision, and excellence.
