How To Box








         In the last issue (Oct. - Dec 2019) we had started a series Introduction
         which took a chosen look at the making of a corrugated (Fluted) Box.

         The series is aimed at imparting a fundamental understanding of what
         it takes to successfully ‘Box’.

         Then final part of this series is presented here.
