How we do

Since our inception in 2003, we have ensured that our technology remains on par with that globally so that our machinery is of the latest standards. We embrace the latest trends to give our customers the best. In the days gone by, corrugated boxes were functional but boring and simply seen as a way of packaging and protecting items. Today, with changing times and advancing technology in the industry our corrugated boxes are not for the packaging alone. They also prove to be an effective marketing tool, thanks to sharp designs and printing. At Wimro Packaging Industries, we use a variety of printing methods, such as the Flexo line which allows for straightforward printing on corrugated surfaces and is relatively low in cost. This method allows for basic line art graphics and texts, using between one to three colors. Flexo products are used for higher-end graphics, providing a stronger visual impact, while enabling photograph quality images. Corrugated material consists of three fibreboard layers, two outer linerboards sandwich a middle sheet in a wave-shaped pattern. The arches this pattern creates are known as flutes, which are anchored to the linerboard with adhesive. These flutes create rigid columns which can support the quite intense weight.

We use a variety of Flute types:

B Flute – provides good cushioning, stacking and is ideal for printing
C Flute – is good for stacking, strength, and resistance to crushing.
BC Flute – perfect to hold exceptionally large and heavy items.

Our Technology

Raw materials

The basic raw material necessary to produce corrugated cardboard is corrugated cardboard raw paper. It consists of a percentage of recycled paper along with a certain percentage of fresh fibers. It is heated and moistened with steam. We import our paper from the U.A.E, France, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and South Africa. We use Bay bond Adhesive Power, Bay Fix Adhesive liquid, and Bay Fix W/P all from Abeysinghe Industries (food grade certified) to bind the papers together. Further, we also use stitching wire and Flexo Ink (water-based) in our production process.
