Corrugated board paper, often known simply as corrugated cardboard, is a sturdy packaging material that consists of a fluted corrugated sheet and one or two flat linerboards. It is widely used in the packaging industry for the manufacture of shipping containers and boxes. The term 'corrugated' refers to the wavy, flute-like structure that provides the material with its signature strength and durability.
The construction of corrugated board starts with the paper itself, which is typically made from the cellulose fibers of trees. These fibers are pulped and processed to create large sheets of paper. The central part of the corrugated board is called the medium or fluting. This is the wavy layer that is sandwiched between the liners. The flutes serve not only as a cushion to protect the contents of the box but also provide structural strength to the board, preventing it from bending or collapsing under pressure. The flutes come in different sizes and profiles, with designations such as A-flute, B-flute, C-flute, E-flute, and F-flute; each offering different properties of cushioning, stackability, and printability.
To create corrugated board, the medium is fed through a machine that shapes it into the fluted form. Adhesive is then applied to the tips of the flutes, and the linerboards are attached to either side. The combined layers are then dried in a process that solidifies the board’s structure. The use of heat and pressure ensures that the adhesive bonds the liners to the flutes firmly, resulting in a lightweight but strong material.
One of the main advantages of corrugated board is its recyclability. It is an environmentally friendly option since it is generally made from a high percentage of recycled material, and after use, it can be collected and reprocessed into new paper products. Additionally, it is cost-effective and can be easily cut and folded into various shapes and sizes, making it an extremely versatile material for packaging a diverse range of products.
Corrugated board is not just limited to brown packaging boxes; it can be coated or treated for various applications. For instance, coatings may be added to make it resistant to moisture or to provide a smoother surface for printing. It is also used in display stands, furniture, and in innovative architecture, demonstrating its flexibility and adaptability beyond traditional packaging uses.
