Waste quietly eats into profit. These simple steps help many plants cut trim and setup waste.
Waste in a corrugation plant usually comes from a few repeating causes.
Common causes

What to do
Plan orders to match roll widths, standardise machine settings, track waste daily and train operators on setup procedures.
