Corrugated boxes play a vital role in supply chains of most of the goods. A safe packaging is must to transport a product from production house to end consumer. Corrugated boxes play a crucial role in fulfilling this requirement most cost effectively in an Eco-friendly manner.
Corrugated boxes are most versatile, as they can be engineered to the packaging needs of product in terms of size, shape, weight, cushioning, stacking, storage and transport conditions. Also, boxes can be printed in multiple colors, which enhances the brand value. This makes corrugated boxes the most preferred packaging material.
Corrugated boxes are 100 percent bio-degradable and recyclable. Many industries prefer corrugated boxes to reduce their carbon foot print and thus minimize their environment impact. However, it is highly imperative for businesses to choose the right and best kind of corrugated box for their needs, as it will ensure protection against any problem that may occur along the way.
One such company offering high-quality and custom-made corrugated boxes is Guntur-based Jayaraj Fortune Packaging Private Limited (JFPPL). Jayaraj Fortune Packaging specializes in making high-strength corrugated boards and boxes that are used for packing heavy components and equipment for domestic or export transportation. JFPPL is also one of the largest corrugated box manufacturers for the tobacco industry in India.
Manufacturers Of High Strength Corrugated Board And Boxes
Since JFPPL is focused on manufacturing high-strength board and boxes, the company’s infrastructure is designed to meet its unique needs. JFPPL runs two 7-ply automatic corrugated Boards lines and produces the largest and the strongest corrugated board in the country. It houses the largest printers, slotters, and die cutters to process these large strong boards. The complete facility is designed to move and process these very large boards efficiently.
Due to its immense hardwork and dedication, the company has become an established supplier of corrugated boxes in tobacco industry. Tobacco box (C48) is the strongest box used globally in such quantities. These boxes withstand over four metric tons compression and sustain loads for extended periods. Unlike most corrugated boxes whose life span is very short (less than a few days to weeks), tobacco is stored in boxes for upto three years. As these boxes travel across the
globe passing through various climatic zones and storage conditions, they are made with water-resistant adhesives to withstand humid high-sea transit conditions.
“We are proud to say that we established our product in Tobacco industry globally, as many manufacturers earlier attempted and failed to produce tobacco boxes because of the technological complexity”, says Prasad Pendyala, Managing Director, Jayaraj Fortune Packaging.
From Engineer To Entrepreneur
Prasad – a mechanical engineer with a master’s from IIT-Madras, returned to India in 2006 after working abroad as a software engineer. “During those days, tobacco industry was moving from manual packing to mechanized packing, for which corrugated boxes were in high demand. As my in-laws were into tobacco exports, they understood the drastic shift in packing needs and its importance in tobacco industry. Therefore, my father-in-law and co-brother guided and supported me in establishing the corrugated box business”, explains Prasad.
Being familiar with exports and imports for over five decades, they not only helped the company to navigate through Exim procedures, but also provided right advice to Prasad on how to cater the changing needs and demands of customer industries. “My wife’s support needs a special mention here, as she patiently endured with me all along this journey. She plays a very constructive role in our strategic decisions and handles the company’s finances. Though, being a majority shareholder, she allowed me to risk, experiment and stood by me in all the outcomes”, affirms Prasad.

JFPPL has a young and energetic team that contributes to the overall success of the company’s growth. Almost every job executed by the team is different and challenging. Therefore, there is new learning, every day. “I thank my customers, and channel partners, who kept their confidence in us and supported us in our journey.
