RPL’s Packaging 101 Workshop on Sustainability

The Growing Packaging Waste Crisis

The world is currently facing a packaging waste crisis as a result of the plastic manufacturing industry nearly doubling in just 20 years, from 180 million tonnes to over 400 million tonnes annually. Packaging is still the primary cause of this growing issue, filling landfills to overflowing and contaminating the oceans in alarming quantities. Surprisingly, less than 10% of the seven billion tonnes of plastic waste generated worldwide has been recycled, meaning that the remaining plastic debris will persist in the environment for millennia. In order to raise awareness of the real-world consequences of packaging waste on our beaches, we also organised a Beach Clean-Up Drive in Clifton, Karachi, with IBA students.

Packaging is becoming more and more in demand as companies grow and e-commerce thrives. Even though packaging is essential for product ease and protection, single-use items, excessive plastic consumption, and non-biodegradable waste are accelerating environmental degradation. Long-term effects like increased carbon emissions, environmental harm, and resource depletion will result from this tendency if it is not controlled. Because of this, switching to environmentally friendly packaging is more important than ever. Recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable materials are examples of eco-friendly substitutes that preserve performance and efficiency while drastically reducing environmental harm.

Key Insights from RPL’s Sustainable Packaging Workshop

To address these pressing concerns, Roshan Packages Limited (RPL) launched Packaging 101: Sustainability & Innovation, a series of workshops intended to educate professionals, companies, and students about the implications of packaging waste and the need for sustainable alternatives. These classes provide a comprehensive understanding of packaging’s role in waste management, pollution, and climate change. They are taught by our Sustainability Marketing Manager, Rija Tayyab, and are held at esteemed colleges and corporate offices.

In addition to theoretical discussions, participants examine the relationship between waste management and packaging design and the three pillars of sustainability: reduce, reuse, and recycle. Participants concretely understand sustainable packaging through hands-on activities like painting boxes to promote creative reuse, balancing objects on paper to gauge material strength, and converting paper into flute structures to test endurance. Participants can examine and distinguish between recyclable and non-recyclable materials through a hands-on demonstration of RPL’s environmentally friendly packaging options.

Practical Sustainability in Packaging

We place strong focus on the safety of materials used to package food and beverages. The program educates participants on the dangers of BPA plastics, toxic coatings, and uncertified recycled materials. Food-grade packaging meets basic safety requirements and ensures that no hazardous materials will contaminate food. Companies that deal with consumables need to understand these key differences because they impact customer health and sustainability. These interactive discussions and expert-led Q&A sessions allow participants to have meaningful conversations about responsible packaging solutions.

RPL’s Commitment to Sustainability

As a pioneer in eco-friendly packaging, RPL actively reduces its environmental impact by implementing several green initiatives. We recycle all paper waste, use solar power and Roshan Ehad to cut carbon emissions by over 130 MT annually, and create boxes made entirely of recycled materials. Additionally, we have set the standard for water-based and recycled ink occasion packaging, promoting eco-friendly alternatives without compromising on quality. Our POS perforated cartons are another example of our commitment to waste reduction and responsible packaging.

Roshan Packages Limited continues to be a local business that supports global sustainability initiatives by enforcing stringent guidelines for environmentally friendly operations. We also recognise the importance of sustainable packaging for brands as more businesses prioritise the environment and search for packaging options that align with their values. By implementing these sustainability strategies, RPL continues to set the standard for eco-friendly packaging. By encouraging the industry’s widespread adoption of eco-friendly practices, we hope to persuade businesses to transition to more environmentally friendly packaging options.

Outcomes of the Workshop

The workshop has successfully taught professionals and students about sustainable packaging and responsible waste management. Through interactive exercises, participants gained knowledge of key sustainability concepts, looked into environmentally friendly alternatives, and gained hands-on experience with recyclable materials.

What are Flutes in Corrugated Boxes and How to Choose It?

When you look at a corrugated box, you will notice that it’s made of more than just flat cardboard. Inside the layers, there are wavy paper sheets called corrugated flutes. These flutes play a very important role, they give the box strength, protect the items inside, and help the box stay in shape during shipping or handling.

Each flute has a different thickness and strength level. The common types used in packaging are A, B, C, E, and F. Every type serves a different purpose depending on whether you need strong protection, good print quality, or a lightweight design. Understanding these flutes helps you choose the right packing box for your product.

Different Wall Structures of Corrugated Boxes

Corrugated boxes are not all made the same. Their strength also depends on how many layers they have. Here are the basic types:

Single Face: One corrugated medium is glued to a single flat sheet of linerboard. This construction offers cushioning but no backing on the opposite side.
Single Wall: Also called Double Face, this is the most common type where the corrugated medium is glued between two sheets of linerboard, providing good strength and protection.
Double Wall: Made with three sheets of linerboard and two corrugated mediums, this type offers extra durability and is often used for heavier or bulkier products. Moreover, it provides reliable protection during shipping and handling.
Triple Wall: It features four sheets of linerboard and three corrugated mediums, providing maximum strength for very heavy or industrial packaging needs.

Types of flutes in corrugated boxes

In corrugated packaging, the flutes A, B, C, E, and F flutes offer distinct characteristics that influence the box’s strength, thickness, and functionality.

A-flute

A-flute is the thickest and most substantial type of corrugated flute, featuring approximately 33 flutes per foot and a thickness of around 4.8–5 mm. Therefore, its wider, more pronounced arches provide excellent cushioning, making it ideal for protecting fragile or heavy products that require additional shock absorption.

Appliance boxes
Cardboard packing boxes

B-flute

B-flute features around 47–50 flutes per foot and has a thickness of about 2.5–3.2 mm, making it thinner yet more rigid than A-flute. Its tighter, denser structure provides better puncture resistance and a smoother surface for printing. Many industries widely use it for transport packaging and retail applications.

Fruit boxes
Retail boxes

E-Flute
E-flute is a thinner option featuring 90–96 flutes per foot and a thickness of about 1.2–2 mm. It offers a smooth surface perfect for high-resolution printing while still maintaining good crush strength. Its compactness makes it ideal for premium and space-efficient packaging.

Electronics boxes
E-commerce boxes
Luxury packaging

F-flute
F-flute is the narrowest variety of corrugated flute, measuring approximately 0.8mm in thickness and containing roughly 125–130 flutes per foot. Additionally, it provides a highly smooth surface, making it perfect for intricate printing, die-cutting, and premium retail packaging. Furthermore, manufacturers often use F-flute for sturdy, compact packaging like tuck-end boxes, cosmetics, or point-of-purchase displays, where design and strength matter.
