Dhrangadhra | 24 March 2020 | The Pulp and Paper Times:

India Corrugated Box Market is expected to reach over INR 63,000 Crore by FY'2023, which requires new paper production capacities in the country. The growth of packaging paper is sharply emerging from the Gujarat state.

“Increasing demand for fresh food, beverages, home & personal care goods, electronic goods industries will increase the reach of end users towards corrugated box manufacturers. We are proud to be the part of this growth scenario,” said Mr. Kanubhai Patel, Director of newly started paper mill Patson Papers Pvt. Ltd.

Situated at Dhrangadhra-Surendranagar Highway, Near Vrajpar Chowkdi, Navalgadh, Patson Papers started its recycled Kraft paper production in October 2019.  “We have invested INR 30 to 40 crore in procuring 120 tpd quality paper production. Currently, our plant is running on single wire machine producing 80 to 200 GSM paper. BF is 16 to 28. We have installed all critical components in order to achieve quality paper production.

Patson Paper mill is having dryers from China, Pulp mill section is supplied by Parason Machinery and wastewater treatment (ETP) has been installed by Chemical Crafts.

“The growth in use of the internet for shopping, stimulated by the growing use of smartphones as well as the increasing proportion of tech-savvy consumers, has a positive effect on corrugated demand, since it has a direct influence on the e-commerce market. Retail ready packaging is also increasing, driven by the influence of supermarkets over the retail landscape and supported by their growing share of the retail market will also drive the corrugated box market in the future”. Mr. Patel explained.

Mr. Patel further describes his future plan “Our manufacturing facility is situated at Dhrangadhra, Gujarat which is near to Mundra Port benefited us in terms of our Import & Export activity. Currently we are exporting 30 to 40 percent our production to the overseas market but demand for kraft paper is fantastic. Keeping in view the future demand, we have decided to enhance our production by 60 TPD in next six months. We will go for double wire paper manufacturing to achieve enhanced paper production up to 35 BF.”

Patson Papers has a machine deckle of 3.95 meters (Finished) and speed is designed at 350 m/min.

India's corrugated box market is expected to register a positive CAGR of around 21.8% during the period FY'2018-FY'2023. The use of corrugated for display/promotional packs, POPs and dispensers and the emergence of E-commerce industries are expected to have a positive impact on the overall revenue of the corrugated box market.

Increasing the demand of safe and cushioned packaging of the product will augment the growth of the India Corrugated box market.
