Typically, around 88% of corrugated board used in Europe is made up of recycled content, and it is 100% recyclable, biodegradable or compostable. This is an important statistic when considering that tens of millions of square meters of corrugated board are produced in Europe, every year.
Around 75% of European goods are protected by Corrugated Board at some point in the supply chain. With eco-credentials in mind, Corrugated Cardboard is a fantastic material for your packaging project.
The European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers (FEFCO) represents the interests of the corrugated industry across Europe. FEFCO issues a library containing the most common box types used, with a number assigned to each design—the FEFCO code. This code is adopted by the International Corrugated Case Association (ICCA).
Since the initial release of KASEMAKE Packaging CAD software, the FEFCO library has been a feature. Packaging Designers can use KASMAKE to choose from any of the predetermined box/fitment styles contained in the library, enter the internal sizes of the packaging item being made (L x W x D), and then choose a material E, B, C, EB flute etc.
FEFCO styles are just one section of the KASEMAKE standard template library (Parametrics). Other sections contain the standard boxes used for cartons (ECMA), Point of Sale displays (POP, POS, SRP, CDUs, FSDUs), envelopes and Honeycomb boards (Xanita, Dufaylite).
KASEMAKE contains intuitive 2D drafting tools so that FEFCO standards run from the library can be easily and quickly amended, windows added, inner fitments designed etc.
To ensure that waste is kept to a minimum in the packaging manufacturing process, KASEMAKE contains intelligent nesting tools.
The packaging standard library (Parametrics) contained in KASEMAKE is just one feature of this powerful software. Why not book a no-obligation online or in-person demonstration with AG/CAD to find out more?
