The Facts About Corrugated Packaging
Corrugated fiberboard is a popular and versatile material, widely used for various ranges of packaging in the modern world. The board is composed of a paper-based sheet with shallow grooves running vertically across its surface and then one or two linerboards placed either side. Corrugated fiberboard is also known as corrugated cardboard.
Corrugated fiberboard began as corrugated paper which was used to make the liner for tall hats in the 1800s. This material was also used to wrap bottles and glass lantern chimneys. Then, in 1874, the corrugated paper machine was introduced so the material could be produced in mass quantities. Following this, the material was adapted to corrugated board as we know it today, gaining the liner sheets fixed to the paper either side. The flat-pack, prefabricated box was invented and adapted to the board material. Corrugated packaging began to be used to glass and pottery then for the transportation of fruit during the 1950s. Up to our modern day, its uses have continued to widen to incorporate creativity, point of display packaging and postal services.
Manufacture
Today, corrugated fiberboard is manufactured with the use of computer design and engineering systems. The process involves corrugating machines, high-pressure steam and hot plates. During production, any required surface coatings and treatments are also added.
Benefits
Corrugated fiberboard's complicated production is vital to providing its benefits. Here are the material's useful qualities:
• Protective
The layers that make up the corrugated material ensure that it makes for a structurally stable packaging. The material also provides a cushioning effect for the items enclosed, allowing expensive or delicate products to be transported long-distances with peace of mind. The size and thicknesses of the corrugated box can be modified to the durability required, further allowing for heavier weighted and more fragile contents. The material is also resistant to tear, ensuring that it remains intact despite handling and exposure. These protective qualities are especially important for food products that need to remain fresh for the long duration of shipping periods.
• Customisable
Corrugated packaging can be tailored to choice. Modifications involve types, adhesive, coatings, weights and treatments. The material can even be made with flame resistant and static control properties. Additionally, any business or buyer can go to town on the designs with a choice of sizes and shapes and have them printed as graphically and colourfully as they wish.
• Cost-effective
Corrugated packaging makes for one of the least expensive packaging options available. As the material is readily available and lightweight, its production, handling and shipping involves low costs.
• Sustainable
Corrugated packaging is also an eco-friendly choice. While it can be recycled, it can also be produced using recycled materials. Moreover, many corrugated cartons can be packed away in their flat form to be used again.
