Learn How to Achieve Higher Productivity, Produce Better Product Quality and Reduce Waste 

  • What are the current trends in corrugator operations?
  • What are the best pre- and post-print options?
  • Which properties of the raw material are vital to guarantee your board quality will be acceptable? 
  • What’s the best way to handle your finished product?
  • Which factors are going to limit your corrugator’s production?

These and other questions will be answered at the TAPPI Best Practices on the Corrugator Course. As a course participant, you’ll learn how to understand each element within the corrugating process. You'll study the basics of how each component in the corrugator system works and how to run each component with optimum settings for peak performance.
