Efficient Cardboard & Waste Processing
Cardboard waste – whether it’s loose boxes, flattened sheets or shredded material – can be efficiently compacted using a baler. Installing a cardboard baler can reduce waste volume by up to 90%, cutting disposal costs and turning the baled material into a valuable revenue stream through resale.
CK International provides complete cardboard-processing solutions tailored to your business. From standalone, vertical balers to fully integrated twin ram and channel press balers with enhancement options such as conveyors, shredders, feeding equipment, and automated handling, we design and supply everything you need to manage cardboard and confidential paper waste efficiently and securely.

Real-World Results in Distribution Environments
A UK-based distribution centre wanted to make its waste operation more cost-effective. After a site review with the CK International team, a mill-size CK500V vertical baler was identified as the best fit for handling their high volumes of cardboard. The machine now processes around 2 tonnes of cardboard per week, producing bales up to 490kg.
Installing the CK500V has delivered significant savings.
By switching from skip collections twice a week to just once per month, the company is saving over £20,000 per year on waste disposal alone. On top of that, selling baled cardboard and plastic brings in almost £7,000 per year in additional revenue. Their internal waste handling has also become far more efficient and less labour-intensive.
With these combined financial benefits, the company will recoup the full cost of the baler within a year.
