Background Packaging should be chosen so that it is tailor-made for the specific needs involved in the handling, protecting and marketing of particular goods. To do this in a cost saving way, the packaging must meet certain requirements while not exceeding them too much.

Program

ModelPACK aimed at improving the international competitiveness of European corrugated board SMEs by an integrated, transnational research approach. The objective of the project is to develop appropriate quality prediction systems and explore new decision possibilities for both cost reduction and quality increase in packaging design and manufacturing.

 

In the ModelPACK Project, Innventia useed its expertise in packaging materials and packaging to develop quality predictive models, based mainly on data gathered on large quantities of paper and corrugated board produced at different mills around Europe. These models can be used to choose the appropriate corrugated board for packaging designs with given requirements.
