Cracking the Code of GSM & BF Control in Corrugated Packaging

If you’re a corrugated packaging manufacturer, you already know this challenge — customers demand lightweight but strong boxes, while inconsistent GSM (grams per square meter) and BF (burst factor) often lead to rejections.

Think about it:

One batch with low GSM causes boxes to collapse in transit.
Another with inconsistent BF leads to customer complaints and returns.
And manual quality checks? By the time deviations are caught, you’ve already lost time, material, and reputation.

This isn’t just a quality issue -it’s a profitability killer. And in today’s competitive market, corrugators cannot afford rejections that eat margins.

Why Traditional Quality Checks Don’t Work?

Most corrugation plants still rely on manual quality monitoring, spreadsheets, or delayed reporting. But in high-volume production, these methods fall short. By the time data reaches management:

Orders are already dispatched with defects.
Customer penalties have piled up.
And repeat business is at risk.

This is where corrugated packaging solutions powered by ERP come into play.

How CorrEx Ensures Quality Consistency

At SB Infotech, we designed CorrEx, a corrugated box ERP built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, to eliminate quality risks and ensure GSM/BF consistency.

Here’s how CorrEx solves it:

Automated GSM/BF Tracking
Say goodbye to guesswork. CorrEx integrates quality control modules that record and validate GSM/BF data in real time across every roll, sheet, and finished box.
Early Deviation Alerts
Instead of waiting for final QC, CorrEx flags deviations immediately—allowing quick corrections before production losses escalate.
Standardized Processes
CorrEx ERP enforces standard operating procedures, ensuring consistent quality across all production batches, regardless of machine or operator.
Customer Confidence & Compliance
With automated audit trails, you can confidently share quality reports with FMCG clients and remain compliant with industry standards.

This makes CorrEx not just corrugated packaging software but a game-changing ERP for corrugated packaging industry players who want zero compromise on quality.

The Business Impact You Can Expect

Implementing CorrEx for GSM & BF control means:

Fewer rejections and customer complaints.
Reduced wastage from faulty runs.
Stronger client relationships due to consistent quality.
Higher profitability—because every saved rejection boosts margins.

With rising kraft paper costs, quality consistency is no longer optional—it’s survival.
