Kraft Paper for Tough Corrugate Boxes in Africa

Many industries in Africa rely on cardboard box manufacturers for a range of purposes. Generally, cardboard boxes which are mostly corrugated are used to transport items in bulk to malls, markets, general stores and other outlets. They are used to protect the goods inside. But smaller versions of such boxes are also required and available as packaging material for individual products. Items that are light and not fragile (like clothes, artificial flowers, etc.) may require paper boxes;  but electronic items, pottery like china ware or show pieces / vases made of ceramic or glass definitely require corrugated boxing.

Because corrugated boxing is used extensively in Africa, tons of raw materials needed to make these boxes are exported to this continent each year. And the main material required to make these boxes is Kraft paper. Paper exporters to Africa supply Kraft paper not only to box manufacturers but also to cement and raw material industries as well as shopping bag manufacturers in Africa. But why are people importing only Kraft paper for these purposes?

The word 'Kraft' in German means 'strength'. Kraft paper is so strong that it pleasantly resists rupture. The process of making Kraft paper also differs to a great extent from the way standard paper is made. After being imported from paper raw material suppliers, the Kraft paper is taken to the plant where it is crimped. Some Kraft paper rolls are used liners too. These sheets are then glued to form corrugated cardboard. The cardboard is then utilized to make sturdy boxes.
