Nippon Paper pairs the carton with the filling machine
Nippon Paper makes products including printing paper, paperboard, beverage cartons and household paper. For beverage producers, it supplies cartons for products such as milk and juice, together with filling equipment and maintenance services.
The carton becomes part of a filling line
Equipment matched to the carton is installed at the customer’s plant, with adjustment and inspection after installation.

THE VIEW AFTER THE NUMBERS
What the numbers suggest
Nippon Paper matches the beverage carton with the equipment that uses it and supports the line after installation. The carton business therefore reaches into customers’ production work.
Flat carton volumes in FY March 2026 sat alongside profit growth in domestic packaging and converting. Household products and overseas operations also helped restore profitability in the wider Daily-Life business.
