Here are 10 interesting facts about corrugated cardboard boxes that you might not have known before:

Corrugated cardboard is a product we often see in daily life, whether it's for shipping goods, storing items, or parcel delivery. But did you know that corrugated cardboard has more interesting details and features than you might think? Let’s take a look at some things you may not have known about corrugated cardboard boxes.

  1. What is corrugated cardboard? Corrugated cardboard is a material that consists of two layers of thin paper with a wavy, fluted paper in the middle. The grade and grammage of the paper, as well as the type of fluting, contribute to its strength, durability, and ability to absorb shock.


 

 
  1. How many types of corrugated cardboard are there? Corrugated cardboard is divided into various types based on the number of layers of paper, such as three-ply corrugated cardboard and five-ply corrugated cardboard. Each type has different properties and is suited for various applications.
 

3. Lightweight but Durable
Although corrugated cardboard is lightweight, it can support weight and withstand impacts effectively due to its wave-like structure.

4. Easily Recyclable
Corrugated cardboard is a material that can be recycled almost 100%, making it environmentally friendly. It is certified with the Green Label and helps reduce waste, which also contributes to reducing the carbon footprint.

5. Highly Customizable
Corrugated cardboard boxes can be customized to meet specific needs, such as printing patterns, logos, or adding colors for product promotion. This can be done using flexographic printing or digital printing systems, among others.

 
            6. Moisture Protection
Certain types of corrugated cardboard are coated to enhance moisture resistance, which is particularly beneficial for shipping products that are vulnerable to getting wet, such as refrigerated and frozen items. Using moisture-resistant coated corrugated boxes for packaging these products ensures they arrive at the customer in perfect condition and helps maintain their quality during transport, especially when exposed to high humidity or freezing conditions.

Additionally, coated corrugated boxes are ideal for transporting items that require a stable environment inside the box, such as frozen seafood, fresh fruits, or products that need to be kept cold or fresh. This makes them an excellent choice for manufacturers and businesses that require high-quality, durable packaging.


 

7.Cost-Effective
Corrugated boxes are inexpensive compared to other packaging materials such as wood or plastic, making them a cost-effective choice.

8.Easy to Fold and Assemble
Corrugated boxes are designed to be easily folded and assembled, which reduces the time and labor needed for packaging products.

9.Used in Other Industries
Corrugated paper is not only used for product packaging but is also applied in other industries. It is used for paper shelf displays, promotional materials (POP, POSM), photo props, photo backdrops, standees, and structural items made from corrugated paper. These applications benefit from the material’s strength, durability, light weight, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility to be molded into different shapes or designs. Additionally, digital printing provides vibrant, realistic colors and is environmentally friendly.


 

 
             10.Environmental Friendliness
Corrugated paper is not only easy to recycle, but its production process also uses less energy than other materials and reduces carbon dioxide emissions.

Corrugated boxes are valuable and essential products in various industries. With their versatile properties and environmentally friendly characteristics, it's no surprise that they remain a popular packaging material through the ages.
