Problems in the supply chain due to flap separation in corrugated cardboard boxes: TECHLAB SYSTEMS Presents Innovative Solution

The separation of flaps in corrugated cardboard boxes is a recurring issue that severely affects the supply chain. When the joints of the boxes come apart, the packaging’s integrity is compromised, which can lead to product damage, returns, additional costs, and delivery delays. This presents a significant challenge for both manufacturers and consumers of this type of packaging, which is critical in sectors such as logistics and distribution.

In response to this issue, TECHLAB SYSTEMS has developed an innovative solution: the JT-55 equipment, specifically designed to measure the adhesive strength of the joints in corrugated cardboard boxes, following the FEFCO 55 standard. This high-precision equipment will allow box and packaging manufacturers to ensure the quality of adhesive joints, minimizing the risk of failure and ensuring safer and more efficient product transportation.

The implementation of the JT-55 will not only improve quality standards in the corrugated cardboard industry but also benefit consumers by reducing the number of incidents related to defective packaging. Furthermore, companies will be able to optimize their supply chains by avoiding problems caused by packaging failures.

For more information about the JT-55 equipment and other solutions, you can visit TECHLAB SYSTEMS’ website at www.techlabsystems.com or contact us via email at info@techlabsystems.com.
