Session Brief:
Everyone is aware how paper prices are increasing on daily basis like share prices Bombay stock exchange. Getting these price increase from customers has become a nightmare to all of us.
It is not only us, but even customers are having nightmares in trying to understand how and why these prices are going up.
Procurement department is having hard time to explain to upper management this price increase. In the process, they are demanding some authenticated information on price increase. Some customers are even doing their own internal analysis to arrive at some formula that can guide them to approach the price raise subject in more rational ways. Some customers are monitoring imported wastepaper prices on quarterly basis to understand paper price increase and accordingly approach the issue of price increase of corrugated boxes.
It is very important for us to understand how the customers are thinking on this subject. Ms. Goyal who has done such an analysis for a multination company and will tell us how these companies are studying the issue of pricing of corrugated boxes.
Mr. Ramkumar Sunkara will tell us how we can use the WPI (Wholesale Price Index) published every month by Office of Economic Adviser to Govt. of India under Ministry of Commerce & Industry, to inform customers about price changes. This is authenticated information as it is published by Govt. of India and be used as cost index for box pricing.

Session Brief:
As an audit requirement, many a times corrugated boxes are sent for analysis of paper specification like GSM and BF used in fabrication of the boxes.
For this purpose, individual paper plies are separated by soaking the sample of corrugated board in water and carrying out ply separation.
After the ply separation, paper is conditioned and tested for GSM and Bursting strength. Due to water soaking method, there is change in bursting strength of paper as compared to its value before fabrication into corrugated board.
This presentation will throw an idea on how water soaking of paper during ply separation process impacts the bursting strength and GSM before fabrication into corrugated board and after ply separation by water soaking method.

Employee retention is a phenomenon where employees choose to stay on with their current company and don’t actively seek other job prospects. The opposite of retention is turnover, where employees leave the company for a variety of reasons.
Every company and industry have a varying retention rate, which indicates the percentage of employees who remained with the organization during a fixed period.
Today we are seeing lot of turnovers of employees due to new plants coming up. We invest a lot in employee, and he leaves job due any reason, it is big loss for the organization.

Like many management terms, the word performance management has been interpreted and the concept implemented, in many ways. But the major goal in any good performance management is to ensure that employees’ activities – what they do and how well they do them – are in sync with the goals of the organization while maintaining a motivated and happy workforce. To achieve it we must answer these questions.
Do your employees know what we are expecting from them?
Are their role areas identified?
Do your employees have clarity of weightage of their performance area?
How effectively their performance is being measured?
How frequently their work has been appraised?

Session Brief:
Packaging is an essential tool utilized by the food business operators to make their products stand out from the mass. Beyond the shelf appeal, packaging also provides protection to the content from physical, chemical and microbiological hazards. However, a lesser known fact is that the same packaging material could also be a source of chemical contaminants and hence may impact food safety as well as food quality.
Among the different components of packaging material, packaging inks play a critical role as they might hamper product and consumer safety. Each packaging ink is a mixture of different chemicals and some of these chemicals might be harmful while holding the potential to migrate to the foodstuff when getting in contact.
The chemical contaminants from the packaging inks can get transferred to the foodstuff by a process called migration. There are different types of migration:
Set-off migration
Diffusion migration
Gas-phase migration

Session Brief:
What is Vegetable Ink?
Vegetable ink is ink made from linseed (flax), castor, canola, safflower, soybeans, corn oil, or other vegetable-based oil. Soybean and linseed are the most commonly used oils, but it is not uncommon to use a variety of different oils. This is in contrast to traditional ink, made from petroleum. Because it comes from vegetables, vegetable ink is better for the environment than petroleum-based ink.
Renewable & Sustainable
Petroleum ink comes from crude oil, a harmful, finite, non-renewable resource and fossil fuel. Yet vegetable and soy inks are made from vegetables – a natural resource that is renewable, sustainable, and fast and easy to grow.
Petroleum also requires a lot of energy to produce, whereas it takes just a small amount of energy to cultivate vegetables. Vegetable ink can even come from a by-product of existing vegetable crops, so there is no need to grow new crops.
Petroleum is also known to be toxic to the planet. As they are plants, vegetables reduce air pollution in their production by absorbing harmful CO2.
Easy to Recycle
When recycling paper, all paper goes through a de-inking process to remove ink from the paper. It is much easier and quicker to remove vegetable ink than standard petroleum-based ink. In fact, some petroleum-based ink cannot be recycled, meaning lots of the paper it’s printed on goes to waste.Because vegetable ink is easy to recycle, there is less energy required to recycle the paper.
Due to all these factors large multinational are slowly switching over to vegetable inks for flexo printing of corrugated boxes. Let us learn about them and be prepared in advance for new technology inks which will invade us.
