Why Eco-Friendly Packaging Box?

With an estimated 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic circulating our oceans right now – and that number increasing by the day – plastic is a problem. Brands and packaging specialists are quickly turning their attention to materials that can replace plastic.

As mentioned earlier, single-use plastic effects are catastrophic and do not end or even begin with wastage treatment. Most customers are only aware of the process that happens at the end, but the truth is that serious harm is potentially caused at every stage of production, from being a raw material to transportation, manufacturing, and disposal.

Therefore, switching to eco-friendly packaging seems like a feasible solution to cut back on polluting our planet and endangering its inhabitants. And for this, the packaging industry and businesses have a major role in allowing environmentally friendly packaging to be part of the mainstream and, eventually, exponentially reduce if not eliminate plastic use.

Why Molded pulp insert tray or box ?

Moulded Pulp Packaging

Molded pulp insert tray or box is made up of molded fiber inserts that are extracted from paperboard or old newspapers. Other materials are also incorporated in it, including wheat straw, bamboo, and sugarcane. These are added for durability, texture, strength and give the packaging a very nice earthy color.

Molded pulp trays insert or box is a new packing trend on the rise and is being employed by many industries such as raw food, processed food, farming, and others. Molded pulp packaging comes in the form of clamshell containers, bowls, plates, end caps, beverage holders, and trays.

Molded pulp box insert tray is easily recycled after they have been fully used and discarded. So pulp packaging can be made into pulp again and molded into new packaging. So every time you use a pulp tray, you can think about where it previously has been and what things it has held!

Molded pulp Packaging manufacturers is Made from 100% biodegradable & compostable material, sugarcane fiber, their packaging is one of a kind and rapidly increasing in popularity.

The manufacture of molded pulp items for packaging has underscored the potential for sustainable growth for businesses in all industries across the world. Made from recycled paperboard or newsprint, molded pulp is a packaging material that is ideal for cushioning products, especially for travel.

Today molded pulp is used all across the globe for packaging purposes, such as drink holders and as food service trays among other non-edible items. With concerns over plastic waste increasing, replacing non-biodegradable and compostable products from use is becoming more and more imperative.

Molded pulp is thus a sustainable alternative to Styrofoam, plastics and other petroleum based packaging, one that is also economical. There are no price surges with molded pulp, so ultimately this material is a lot more reliable, and overall requires less capital to make and use for packaging. s

Molded pulp can also be made waterproof for longevity by coating it in a layer of wax. This makes it easier to travel around with molded pulp without the pulp breaking away if it comes in contact with water. Because the pulp is made from wet pressing paper-based products, it is important to keep it from coming in contact with water as it may soak it up and fall apart.

you will find the highest grade of molded pulp made in stylish and intelligent designs, in multiple colors for a wide array of products. You will also find the different types in moulded pulp fiber packaging that is waterproof and can be repeatedly used should you want to.

Microsoft owns up to issues with the Surface Book and Pro 4

And one big issue remains for Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 owners: erratic power management. Some users are reporting that the devices simply don't go to sleep properly when you close their lids or put them into standby. Instead, they continue to drain power, which could be a nasty surprise if you don't bring your charger along. That's a particularly surprising issue for flagship devices in 2015 — it's something that's mostly been fixed by laptop makers over the past decade. Making things even worse, a Surface engineering manager noted earlier this month that the issue might not be fixed until 2016.

"We are focused on delivering a great experience to every Surface customer," a Microsoft spokesperson told Engadget. "We know a small set of Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 customers are experiencing issues and addressing that is a top priority for us. We have dedicated engineering teams working to get updates and fixes out as quickly as possible and we will continue to use our Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 support forums to share new information directly with our customers as it becomes available."

Microsoft also issued a brief apology last Friday for the "less than perfect" Surface experience, which basically urged users to keep updating their devices. There was no mention of the ongoing power issues.
It's not unusual for brand new hardware to exhibit some growing pains, particularly unique devices like the Surface Book. But in those situations, being completely transparent with customers is usually the best response. It's been nearly two months since the Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 have been released, so it's also surprising that they're still exhibiting debilitating power issues.

Microsoft reps tell us that they typically don't offer up timing expectations when it comes to fixes, as the Surface engineering manager (identified only as "Joe") did. Every update requires extensive testing to make sure they don't cause new issues, so it's not simply a matter of writing up a fix and deploying it. Still, at least "Joe" actually said something about the power issues. Microsoft has yet to acknowledge it otherwise.

It's not as if Microsoft is ignoring the Surface issues, though. It's constantly tracking all of the issues being reported; some just take longer to fix than others, reps say. The company has also sped up the timing of Windows Updates so they can be deployed as soon as they're ready, rather than just a few times a month.

Mostly, it seems that most of the Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 issues caught Microsoft by surprise. While the devices went through plenty of internal testing, most of the problems only became apparent when they reached consumers. That may be a sign that Microsoft should open up its testing process a bit to a wider audience, before releasing new hardware. The company doesn't have plans to do that yet, reps say, but that'll ultimately be up to its engineers.

So where do things stand now? Microsoft is updating its Surface devices with all of the currently available fixes at the factory. If you've already got one, be sure to install all of the updates that get released. The company isn't offering any special customer support path for Surface issues, but I hear the replacement process is fairly painless if you're near a Microsoft store. Otherwise, contact Microsoft support and hope for the best. In some cases, they can send you a replacement before receiving your faulty device.

It's always tough to judge just how extensive product issues are based on forum complaints. Consumers having a negative experience with new products are generally louder than the rest. But when those issues are being reported consistently, it's worth noting. We've also seen a major issue with our pre-production: One Surface Book crashed after running a 3D benchmark and refused to boot. We initially chalked that up to just being early hardware, but some users are reporting similar booting issues.

One Surface Book owner I know -- who was particularly eager to get one -- had to replace their device three times at a Microsoft store. After getting tired of the issues, he just got aDell XPS 13 instead.

Microsoft launches survey for its insiders

If you’re one of the millions of insiders who participated in the development of Windows 10 for PCs or mobile device, you now have the chance to win Microsoft’s new Surface Book laptop by completing a 10-minute survey.

In an email sent today, the Windows Insider team explains that it’s looking into ways to improve the testing program, so it wants the opinions of those who have already brought their contribution to products such as Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile for a closer look at methods to do that.

“Your feedback is most powerful when we can triangulate it across the Feedback App, your bug reports and error logs—and especially when we can understand a bit more about you as a person, your motivations in taking part in the Insider Program, and what you think about our progress to date. To deepen this understanding, we'd like to invite you to take a short survey to help us improve the Insider Program for you,” the email sent today reads.

How to enter the Surface Book sweepstake

But undoubtedly the most appealing part of this survey is the possibility of winning a Surface Book laptop with 256 GB of storage space and Intel Core i5 CPU if you answer all questions.

So basically, all you need to do is to start the survey here and use your Microsoft account (the one you used for the Windows Insider program!) to provide your answers.

“We truly value hearing from each and every Insider. As a small token of our appreciation for helping us improve, if you complete the survey and choose to include your Microsoft email address (MSA), you'll automatically be entered into a sweepstakes to win a free Microsoft Surface Book!” Redmond says.

The survey will be there until December 22, so you have just one week to enter the contest. Keep in mind that there are more than 6 million insiders right now, so chances to win the Surface Book aren’t really huge. You must be at least 18 years old to be eligible for the sweepstake.

Microsoft acknowledges Surface Book, Surface 4 Pro problems, has no timetable for fixes

When Microsoft launched the Surface Book and Surface Pro 4, the company won accolades from many users. The new laptop-style device was hailed as one of the best pieces of hardware you could buy, while the Surface 4 Pro continued to refine and improve on Redmond’s earlier Surface devices. While a few sites reported issues with early hardware, that’s fairly typical across review (Google’s Pixel C tablet is another such example). For the past few weeks, reports have been coming in that the device doesn’t sleep properly, and continues draining power at nearly the full-use rate.

According to Microsoft’s support staff (a person identified only as “Joe”), the problem is that the CPU isn’t dropping into its full sleep state, and Microsoft knew about the problem from day one. He writes, “We couldn’t do it at RTM for a variety of reasons, power management is a very hard computer science problem to solve especially with new silicon. Currently it is not in the deepest ‘sleep’ that it can be so there are wake events that would not otherwise wake it. We will have an update for this issue sometime soon in the new year.”

According to Microsoft, the solution is to disable Connected Standby by manually setting the chip to “Hibernate” from within Windows 10’s power management options. He also notes that users are advised not to leave any streaming browser windows open, as this will prevent the system from sleeping the CPU.

Based on the problems people are having, it doesn’t sound like the CPU is sleeping very much at all — all in the name of giving people email five seconds faster than they’d otherwise have it, but at the cost of drastically reduced battery life. It’s baffling that Microsoft would ship a system with a problem this severe — battery life is one of the most important metrics for a system these days. There is no special path for Surface Pro 4 / Surface Book users to contact the company, so hopefully you can either wait until January or return your device if you’re unhappy with the product as it currently exists. Microsoft has pledged to continue updating the platform until it resolves the outstanding issues.

Engadget reports that some users have had issues with multiple Surface Book / Surface 4 Pro devices, leading them to switch to other platforms. If you’ve got one of the new devices, what’s been your experience thus far?

Windows 10 Mobile news: upgrade for older Windows phones postponed until early 2016

Patience would have to a be a virtue for owners of smartphones that use Windows Phone 8 or 8.1 as the release of Windows 10 for mobile has been delayed to early next year.

According to a Windows Central report, the information came from an insider from Microsoft.

"This November we introduced Windows 10 to phones including brand new features such as Continuum and Universal Windows Apps with the introduction of the Lumia 950 and 950 XL. The Windows 10 Mobile upgrade will begin rolling out early next year to select existing Windows 8 and 8.1 phones," the site quoted its source.

This comes as a disappointment for owners of older smartphones who were expecting the upgrade to be available this month.

Meanwhile, Microsoft Corporate Vice President for the Engineering Systems Team Gabe Aul posted on the official Windows blog that the company is releasing the Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 10586 through the Windows Insiders Fast and Slow ring.

According to Aul, the update seeks to address issues reported to them by their users through Windows Insiders. He also said that the team also took into account the experiences of users of Windows 10 phones like Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL.

The build, he said will be called 10586.36.

"Windows Insiders have provided great feedback on the upgrade experience from Windows Phone 8.1. We continue to use the feedback we get from Windows Insiders to improve the upgrade experience and this update has some improvements to that experience," he said as he encouraged users to constantly check the Insider Hub for updates where they will start posting new announcements.
