A corrugated box is a packaging material made from
corrugated paperboard, consisting of a fluted (corrugated)
layer sandwiched between two flat layers. This design provides
strength, durability, and rigidity, making it widely used in
packaging for shipping, storage, protection of goods and food
industries.
MATERIAL
Corrugated Cardboard
The primary material used in the construction of corrugated
boxes is corrugated cardboard. This consists of three layers – a
wavy inner layer (corrugated medium) sandwiched between
two flat outer layers (linerboard).
Flute Size
Corrugated boxes come in various flute sizes, indicating the
thickness and strength of the corrugated medium. Different flute
sizes are chosen based on the intended use, providing options
for lightweight to heavy-duty packaging.
PRINTING
Customizable Graphics
Depending on the application, corrugated boxes can have a single-wall or double-wall construction. Single-wall
boxes are lighter and suitable for less fragile items, while double-wall boxes offer extra strength and protection for
heavier or more delicate contents.
Flexographic or Digital Printing
Printing is typically done using flexographic or digital printing
methods. Flexographic printing is cost-effective for large
quantities, while digital printing offers flexibility for smaller
batches and intricate designs.
BOX STRUCTURE
Single-Wall or Double-Wall Construction
The exterior of corrugated boxes is often customizable with
high-quality printing. This allows businesses to incorporate
branding, logos, product information, and other graphics,
enhancing the box’s visual appeal.
DESIGN AND STRUCTURE
Die-Cut Options
Corrugated boxes can be designed with die-cut features, allowing for unique shapes, handles, or windows. Die-cutting enhances the box’s functionality and aesthetic appeal, providing a tailored solution for specific products.
Easy Assembly
The design of corrugated boxes often incorporates features for
easy assembly, reducing packaging time and ensuring
efficiency in shipping and storage processes.
STRENGTH AND DURABILITY
Burst Strength and Edge Crush Test (ECT)
Corrugated boxes undergo quality testing for burst strength and ECT, ensuring they meet
industry standards for durability and protection. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of
the contents during transit and handling.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Recyclability
Corrugated cardboard is highly recyclable, contributing to sustainable packaging practices.
Many corrugated boxes are made from recycled materials, and they can be recycled again
after use.
Eco-Friendly Inks (Optional)
Some manufacturers use eco-friendly inks for printing on corrugated boxes, further
minimizing environmental impact
