DS Smith opens industry-leading box manufacturing plant to fulfill consumer demand for more sustainable boxes
One of the world's most sophisticated facilities will boost production of lighter-weight and 'fit-to-product' packaging
In a single day, DS Smith’s new state-of-the art box manufacturing plant is able to produce more than 17 million square feet of lightweight recyclable packaging—enough to overlay the entire Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The opening of the corrugated plant heralds the company’s latest technology, keeping pace with increasing demands by consumers and retailers for fully recyclable boxes and “fit-to-product” packaging that reduces costs, waste and “packing air” of irregularly shaped items. The facility can produce about 30,000 boxes an hour and 2 billion square feet of recyclable packaging a year.
