Packaging industry has been established and making new innovations within the process of actions like packing, labelling and printing etc. One of the major fields in packaging industry is the manufacturing of carton boxes which is a very cost-effective business for a and carton box manufacturer in Malaysia.

A carton supplier in Malaysia produce numerous sizes, dimensions and kinds of cartons with a number of standard printing from huge paper rolls up to seven fold of corrugated cartons which can give a extra strength and flexibility required for different types of items like fragile electronics to heavy appliances. Carton box manufacturer in Malaysia who may give printing services to their clients has an added benefit over the other carton manufacturer and carton box manufacturer in Malaysia.

The material used in carton box manufacturing is a large part of the eventual success of the product and the carton manufacturer also. There are some considerations which can be taken by a carton manufacturer and carton box manufacturer in Malaysia.

FBB (Folding Box Board) is a particular grade of carton board that a standard carton box manufacturer use in the manufacturing of cartons. It is made up of layers of mechanical pulp fixed between outer layers of the pulp with up to three coating layers on the higher face and one coating layer on the other. The thickness of the carton board is the distance from one surface to other. It is measured in hundreds of a mm. Most carton box manufacturers in Malaysia used it in the cartons and it has a thickness of 300 to 800 microns. Weight of the carton board is very important for the manufacturing of carton box. It’s measured in grams per square metre. Usually a carton manufacturer and carton box supplier in Malaysia use carton board with a weight more than 150 g/m2 because is good enough for packaging.

In grocery store, stores or shopping mall, items are delivered in small or large cartons depending on the size of the item made of corrugated board. Because corrugated cardboard could be very versatile material within the manufacturing of cartons, thousands of tons are used each year to protect, carry and to display products. According to a survey from the carton box supplier, during 1992, more than 25 million of tons of corrugated board were produced in US. Another 6 million tons of un-corrugated board or paper board were also produced to be used in cartons. This make the corrugated board is very important for carton box supplier to make hard cartons.

Corrugated boxes or cartons are made by the method of recycling which involves the breaking of the box. This technique of recycling is the same as when new material is used. It is the best option for hard packaging material. Carton box manufacturer use for their manufacturing needs because it is available in single, double, triple and even in more layers. These layers make the carton safer for fragile items and goods.

Now most of the carton suppliers and carton box manufacturers in Malaysia prefer to use recycled materials or that materials which can be recycled in order to reduce the manufacturing cost.

Water Utility Fees – Huge Increases on the Horizon?

Former Philadelphia Mayor and current Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell has seen his share of interesting events in his public service life. A prolonged cold spell during Rendell’s tenure as Mayor was once followed by a rapid warm-up. Rendell recalls that as the temperature suddenly warmed, water supply pipes began bursting throughout the city. In all, 58 water pipes broke, creating quite a municipal problem. Philadelphia water department managers later reported back to the Mayor’s office that many of the pipes that burst were installed back in the 1800s and were installed too near the surface to withstand the sudden temperature change.

Aging infrastructure is a problem for many communities and public utilities. As communities grew over the years, demands on sewage systems and water providers all increased. Within the water utility industry, building more treatment plants and other big-ticket facilities made clear economic sense when communities were expanding. More customers meant more utility revenue. New facility construction was made possible by increased sales of water and sewer services.

Over time though, all facilities inevitably reach the end of useful service lives. As this point is approached, providers that do not have a growing population or expanding market need to confront the need to replace facilities even though revenues may be static or even declining. The cost of replacing existing systems could translate to major rate increases to current customers.

Bob Hebert, columnist for the New York Times in a recent opinion, seemed to call for federal intervention to replace aging facilities in an opinion piece from February 15, 2010. “”Ignoring these problems imperils public safety, diminishes our economic competitiveness, is penny-wise and pound-foolish, and results in tremendous missed opportunities to create new jobs on a vast scale.” Hebert seems to believe that the federal treasury should use the ‘jobs’ argument as justification for providing this funding. In the end, this probably only generates a false impression that Washington will be riding to the rescue of small utilities and water providers.

Squeezing every possible day of service out of existing facilities is good management. But providing continued service with old facilities is begging for trouble. At some point, water and sewer service providers will have to confront the very real possibility that they will have to replace expensive plant and facilities by themselves. Handling these costs – some of which could be enormous – has many managers losing sleep.

The best way to handle this problem according to Hebert, is to look for help from the national treasury. Budget hawks are sure to resist. With the current deficit and budget crises, resolving this conflict won’t be easy and could certainly be expensive. Communities and water utilities – like Rendell’s Philadelphia water department – will still have to come up with a way to pay for repair and replacement costs. Washington may not have the ability to help.

Water utilities in the United States typically serve small groups of customers. In fact, 85% of American water utilities serve fewer than 3,300 customers. Some of these small business units are now faced with huge expenditures for facility replacement. Distributing many millions in facility replacement costs to just a few thousand customers can mean huge service rate increases.

The NYT’s Hebert correctly points out that failing to replace these assets could have far-reaching consequences. Coming up with the money is -as always – the problem. And utilities and communities had better start planning now rather than wait for the next plant to fail or set of pipes to burst.
