🔵⚪🔴 Did you know? Our processing and shipping department

Throughout the year, we’ve taken you step by step through the various departments and phases of our manufacturing process.

Now it’s time for the final stage, where we meet the specific needs of our customers: the Transformation & Expedition service.

Our customers can order our cartonboard:
– In reels: in the form of large ‘mother reels’ or smaller ‘daughter reels’.
– In format: sheets piled on pallets.

The process in detail:
– For daughter reels:
The mother reels are unwound, their edges removed, then cut to the width requested by the customer before being rewound on a mandrel.

– For format pallets:
A mother reel is unwound, its edges removed, then cut to width and length using a slitter to obtain sheets. These sheets are then piled onto pallets.

Once ready, the daughter reels and pallets are shrink-wrapped, labelled and stored before shipment.

📊 Some key figures:

– Around 1/3 of production is delivered as daughter reels, while the rest is shipped on pallets.

– We manufacture an average of 800 pallets a day, depending on our customers’ orders.
