MACHINERY CATEGORY

The machinery category, open to associate members only, focuses on innovations of equipment, products or services that are directly related to the mechanical converting process. Innovations should benefit the paperboard packaging industry through enhanced efficiency, quality, productivity, and/or safety of the members of the paperboard packaging community.

The “mechanical converting process” covers all operations that involve direct contact with corrugated, folding carton or rigid box substrates (i.e., printing, cutting, creasing, scoring, stitching, gluing, material handling, etc.)

The next machinery competition will be held in 2028 at SuperCorrExpo.
