Corrugated Cardboard Sheet

Corrugated packaging is a type of packaging material made of corrugated cardboard, consisting of an inner lining and outer fluting made of paperboard. It’s known for its strength, durability and versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of packaging applications.

Corrugated cardboard boxes are known to hold 60 – 150 pounds, making them a great investment to hold heavier items.

One of the main benefits of corrugated cardboard is that they provide excellent protection during transport. Also, the fact they are recyclable and biodegradable further increases the popularity of corrugated cardboard.

Corrugated cardboard is used heavily in many packaging situations like moving house or posting electronic devices. They can be designed to suit the specifications of your products.

There are four main types of corrugated packaging:

Single face board: Consisting of just a liner and a corrugated layer, single face board is less sturdy than other corrugated cardboards.

Single wall board: The classic, most common type of corrugated cardboard which features one layer of fluting and two layers of paperboard.

Double wall board: A stronger type of corrugated packaging with two layers of fluting and three layers of paperboard.

Triple wall board: The strongest type of corrugated cardboard with three layers of fluting and four layers of paperboard.

Regular cardboard is usually thicker and heavier, while corrugated cardboard is more durable and structured differently inside to be less dense and sturdier. Corrugated cardboard is made of three layers to provide additional strength and withstand wear and tear.

Corrugated cardboard provides excellent protection during transport. They act as a stable cushion for products during shipping. They are also designed to keep bacteria and moisture away from the products within the packaging.

Corrugated packaging has a wide range of applications, including:

The shipping and transportation of products.

E-commerce packaging for online orders.

Food and beverage packaging, including takeaway containers and boxes for perishable goods.

Protective packaging for fragile items, including glassware and electronics.

Industrial and manufacturing packaging for machinery and electronics.

Corrugated packaging is made through a process called corrugation, where paperboard is fed through a corrugator machine that crimps and glues the fluting to the inner and outer liners. The resulting corrugated cardboard is then cut and shaped into boxes or other forms of packaging.

Like most cardboard, corrugated cardboard is no different. Nearly 81% of corrugated cardboard is recycled. This can be any shape, colour, and size. The extra layer of waver fibre makes it even stronger and great for recyclability.

Corrugated cardboard is 100% biodegradable and can degrade completely within one year. As it is fibre, the decomposition time is scarce and when exposed to favourable weather conditions, like humid environments, the degeneration speed ups even more.
