A Closer Look at Corrugated Board Packaging

Corrugated board packaging, often referred to as the biggest segment in the paperboard packaging industry, is designed to pack, protect, and promote products effectively. It consists of three layers of paper: the outer layers known as liners or linerboard, and the central layer featuring a fluted or wave-shaped material called corrugating medium.

One of the key advantages of corrugated board is its flexibility, allowing it to be cut and folded into various shapes and sizes to meet the specific requirements of end-users. It is lightweight and recyclable, making it an eco-friendly choice for packaging solutions.

Versatility in Types and Applications

Corrugated boards come in various types categorized based on the shape and size of the flute, including single faced, single wall, twin wall, and triple wall. Among these, single wall corrugated board is the most widely preferred technology globally.

These boards are multifunctional and serve a multitude of purposes such as wrapping, enclosing, protecting, cushioning, indexing, stacking, and displaying. Their primary function, however, remains the protection of products during transportation.

Wide Range of End Users

Corrugated board packaging finds extensive use across various industries, with the food and beverages sector leading the way, followed closely by automotive and personal care industries.
