Corrugated Paperboard is currently the largest and most commonly used packaging material in the world. Corrugated boxes are one of the most common packaging methods used in the transportation of goods.
Starting in 1856, two British brothers invented the idea of pressurizing paper into corrugated corrugated, which was not used as packaging in the beginning, but as a lining for tall hats. Since then, through continuous exploration, development and application, there have been a rich variety of types of corrugated paper available today!
What is a corrugated box?
Corrugated Box is made of corrugated cardboard that is processed and molded to obtain a three-dimensional cardboard box. Corrugated board is a strong packaging material with an outer layer called the face paper, a wavy layer called the core paper or corrugated paper and a bottom layer called the liner.
In short, these cartons are made of corrugated cardboard through certain structural design, which provides good protective cushioning in transportation.
There are two major types of international corrugated box box standards, one is approved by the International Corrugated Cardboard Association (ICA), the European Federation of the Corrugated Cardboard Manufacturing Industry (FEFCO) and the Swiss Cardboard Association (ASSCO) jointly formulated by the International Carton Box Standard; the other is the national standards of Japan and the United States.
In the international carton box standard (FEFCO), the text name of the box type is expressed by a simple 4-8 digit code, such as 0201.

Corrugated flute types provide cushioning, strength and compression resistance properties to packages based on different grades, allowing for more customization of the package. Commonly used corrugated board types are A, B, C, E and F, which are differentiated by their thickness. There are also common combinations of flute types, AC pit, BC pit and EB flute.
Single-sided corrugated cardboard is often used as a protective liner for merchandise packaging, or to make protective layers and pads to protect merchandise from vibration or shock during storage and transportation.
Three-layer and five-layer corrugated boards are heavily used in the production of corrugated boxes. Usually the surface of corrugated boxes can be printed with beautiful graphics. It not only protects the goods inside, but also advertises and beautifies the goods inside.
At present, many corrugated color boxes or corrugated cartons made of three- or five-layer corrugated board have been placed directly on sales counters or shelves as sales packaging.
Seven-layer corrugated cardboard is mainly used to make packing boxes for electromechanical, furniture, motorcycles, large home appliances and so on. For some specific commodities, these corrugated boards can also be combined to make inner and outer boxes, a method that is not only convenient for production, but also suitable for commodity loading, storage and transportation.
