Bambancin Corrugated, Cardboard da Kraft: Jagorar Zaben Akwati

Fahimtar Kalmomin Masana’antu: Tsari, Takarda, da Pulp

Idan ka tambayi masu sayarwa uku irin akwatin da kayan ka ke bukata, za ka iya samun amsoshi daban-daban: corrugated, cardboard, ko kraft. Haka nan idan ka tambayi masu siye uku ma’anar wadannan kalmomi, za ka samu amsa ta hudu. Wannan rudani ba wai rashin kulawa bane, sai dai saboda wadannan kalmomi guda uku suna wakiltar rukunoni daban-daban guda uku. A kasuwar B2B ta Hausa, fahimtar wannan bambancin shine mataki na farko na gujewa asara da samun ingantaccen kaya.

• Corrugated yana amsa tambayar: Yaya aka gina wannan allon?
• Cardboard / Paperboard yana amsa tambayar: Shin shafi daya ne ko fiye?
• Kraft yana amsa tambayar: Yaya aka sarrafa pulp din, kuma me yasa saman yake?

Ana iya hada su. Haka nan ana iya gazawar hada su. Kalmar “kraft box” na iya nufin karamin akwatin nadawa (folding carton) na adana kyandir, ko kuma babban akwatin jigila mai launin kraft. Shi yasa bayanin da ya ce kawai “kraft box” bai cika ba; launi ne kawai ba tare da bayanin tsari ba. Don masu kasuwanci a Najeriya da sauran kasashen Afirka, tantance waɗannan bambance-bambance yana taimakawa wajen rage farashi da inganta sarkar samarwa.

Menene Corrugated da Ainihin Amfanin Flute

Allon Corrugated kamar sanwic ne. An manne takarda mai shimfida (liner sheets) guda biyu a bangarorin biyu na wata takarda mai siffar raƙuman ruwa (fluted layer) a tsakiya. Wannan layin flute shine ainihin sirrin kayan. Yana haifar da sarari a tsakanin liners, ta yadda idan wani abu ya danna saman, liner zai iya lankwasawa ciki kuma bangon flute zai tura baya, maimakon duka allon ya rushe lokaci guda.

A aikace, ba tare da lambobi ba, ga abin da hakan ke nufi:

• Flute yana bawa allon ikon kare kaya (cushioning) da kwanciyar hankali (stiffness) ta bangare daya, wanda shine dalilin da sa akwatunan corrugated suke da karfi idan flutes suna tsaye a kwance (vertically) kuma nauyin yana kan kusurwoyi.
• Idan akwatin corrugated ya lankwasa ko ya karkata karkar nauyi, ba wai “mummunan kaya” bane matsalar. Matsalar hanyar daukar nauyi ce (load-path problem) — nauyin yana kan bangon akwatin maimakon kusurwoyi, ko kuma kayan ciki basu da tallafi.
• Ana amfani da fiye da layin flute daya don ayyuka masu nauyi, saboda karin layin yana kara zurfi tsakanin liners. Wannan zabin gine-gine ne da ya danganta da abin da akwatin zai jure, ba alamar inganci kadai ba.

Corrugated shine abin da ake yin akwatunan jigila da shi: akwatin waje, akwatin e-commerce mailer da ke zuwa gidan abokin ciniki, da akwatin da ke kan pallet. Daga cikin custom packaging boxes da muke samarwa, mailer boxes da corrugated shipping boxes su ne tsarin guda biyu da suka dogara kacokan akan flute. Ga kamfanonin da ke fitar da kaya daga China zuwa Afirka, fahimtar wannan yana da matukar muhimmanci don kare kayayyaki yayin sufuri.

Menene Cardboard da Paperboard

A maganar yau da kullum, “cardboard” na nufin duk wani akwatin takarda mai kwari. Amma a aikin packaging, yawanci yana nufin paperboard: shafi daya na kayan takarda, mai kauri fiye da takardar rubutu amma siriri fiye da corrugated sandwich, ba tare da tsakiyar flute ba. Takarda ce, ba tsarin gine-gine ba.

Wannan shafi daya yana da kyau sosai wajen abubuwa uku. Yana karbar buga (printing) da kyau saboda saman yana da shimfida. Yana naduwa da yin crease da kyau, wanda hakan ke yiwuwar nadawa akwati a lebur (flat-packed). Kuma ana iya yanke shi zuwa siffofi masu rikitarwa cikin sauki, wanda ke barin akwati ya zama die-cut a kusa da taga, tab, ko siffar lankwasa.

Abin da ba zai iya yi ba shine daukar nauyi shi kadai. Paperboard bashi da sararin ciki don tsotsar girgiza kuma bashi da fuska ta biyu don rarraba karfi. Folding carton kwano ne da wurin buga; ba tsarin jigila bane. Shirye-shiryen shago, akwatunan kayan kwalliya, akwatunan wayoyi, da akwatunan abinci da abin sha — wannan filin paperboard ne, kuma yana aiki da kyau a nan saboda ba a tsammanin akwatin zai jure wahalar hanyar sadarwar fakiti shi kadai.

Gaskiyar da ya kamata a tuna: paperboard yana baka saman buga mafi kyau da nadawa mai daraja, amma yana baka kariya kasa kan girgiza. Idan ka ga kana kara akwatin paperboard a cikin akwatin jigila, ba wai yin almubazzaranci bane. Kayan aiki biyu ne suna yin ayyuka biyu daban-daban.

Menene Kraft da Dalilin Da Sa Zai Iya Zama Kowane Tsari

Kraft kalmar sarrafa takarda ce. Tana nufin hanyar sarrafa pulp da kuma launin ruwan kasa na asali (natural unbleached brown) da hanyar ke samarwa. Bayani ne na asalin kaya da kamaninsa — ba tsarin akwati bane, ba daraja ce da za a iya fayyace ita ita kadai ba, kuma ba alkawari bane kan yadda akwatin karshe zai kasance.

Anan ne yawancin kwatance suke samun matsala. Shafin da ke jerin “kraft” tare da “corrugated” yana kwatanta fuska da tsarin gine-gine. Ana iya samar da takardar Kraft zuwa paperboard mai shafi daya kuma a nada shi zuwa retail carton. Haka nan ana iya amfani da kraft liner a matsayin saman waje na allon corrugated. Don haka akwatin kraft na iya zama folding carton ko shipping case, kuma kalmar kadai ba za ta gaya maka wanne kake siya ba.

Bayanan aiki guda biyu ga masu siye:

• Ana amfani da Kraft a matsayin bayanin launi. Ana iya buga akwati ko shafa masa coating don ya yi kama da takardar asali yayin da aka yi shi da wani abu daban. Idan kamanin asali shine manufar zane, bayyana hakan karara a cikin brief maimakon dogaro ga kalmar “kraft” don daukar duka kamanin da kayan.
• Saman da bashi da coating yana tsotsar inki daban da mai santsi. Cikakkun bayanai da kananan haruffa na iya rasa bayyanarsu, kuma wuraren duhu na iya zama marasa daidaito. Idan zanen yana da cikakkun bayanai, wannan tattaunawa ce da za a yi kafin bugawa, ba bayan ba.

A Yichi, kayan da muke amfani da su wajen gina custom packaging su ne cardboard, corrugated da rigid board, tare da zabin FSC-certified da recycled materials. Kraft ba daya daga cikin layukan kayanmu da aka buga bane — kalma ce mai amfani don fahimta, ba abu ne da ake odar sunansa ba.
