Does your newly-launched e-commerce business need packing materials?\u00a0Or maybe you need a quick review of the many aspects of\u00a0packaging boxes<\/u><\/a>\u00a0to get you back on track?\u00a0As a manufacturer of corrugated boxes in the United States, we’ve been a part of this industry for quite a long time and have encountered several packaging-related questions\u00a0from new businesses and veterans of various industries. Here’s an overview of things you should know about corrugated box packaging.<\/p>\n

What Are Corrugated Boxes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When referring to a corrugated box, individuals generally use the word “cardboard box.” However, the proper term for this kind of packaging material is a “corrugated fiberboard carton.” The word “corrugated” refers to a special material constructed of three separate sheets of containerboard, which are fundamentally similar to thick paperboard (a thick paper-based material). The two outer sheets are flat liners, while the rippling sheet in the middle is the third.<\/p>\n

How Are Corrugated Boxes Made?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As mentioned above, boxes made of high-quality\u00a0corrugated cardboard\u00a0are made up of two layers of cardboard: a liner and a medium. The liner, constructed using heavy-duty fluted paper, is the flat portion that connects to the medium. On the other hand, the fluted paper’s wavy form strengthens the liner while preventing the product from being damaged in transit. Before the\u00a0corrugated box<\/u><\/a>\u00a0<\/u>is finally assembled, a wavy-designed sheet is placed between two layers of paper.<\/p>\n
