★★★★ · When I think of National Institutions, I think of cardboard box making companies. · Spuzz · 2013-03-25

Pretty interesting silent film about how cardboard boxes are made. Hinde and Dauch, a paper making company, shows us the many steps it goes through to make a box. The film has some duplication issues though for some reason in the middle, and scenes are repeated. Other than that, very interesting.
