A Brief Introduction to Corrugated Paper

Corrugated cardboard boxes are boxes made of corrugated paper or glued together and are often used to pack goods.

When it comes to the modern era of environmental protection, some traditional materials are very harmful to the environment. Corrugated paper is an environmentally friendly type of packaging material that is recyclable. The pressure resistance of this corrugated box can also give buyers a certain sense of security.

I.Talk about its advantages in four ways

1. Increased efficiency of corrugated boxes

Compared to traditional, manual packaging with wrapping paper, using a corrugated box only requires the product to be packed into the box. This saves time and effort, so why not use it?

2. The cost of a corrugated box can be reduced to a very low level.

Compared to traditional packaging materials, a corrugated inner carton can buffer the structure of the packaging carton. This improves the impact resistance of this packaging.

3. Corrugated boxes have good resistance to compression

It is not easy to be crushed with this type of packaging, and it has good resistance to compression.

4. Corrugated cartons are safe and secure for transport

The internal materials are pressure-resistant shock-absorbing cushioning protection. The impact of external factors makes a slight breakage that will not have a large impact on the product cushioning. And the safety performance is trustworthy.

II. Classification of corrugated board

1. Classification according to the number of layers

The corrugated board consists of four parts, including face paper, core paper, lining paper, and corrugated paper that has been shaped into a waveform through processing.

Corrugated cardboard has a variety of types. There is a single-layer corrugated board, a three-layer corrugated board, a five-layer corrugated board, and a seven-layer corrugated board, etc.

2. Classification according to the corrugated shape of the corrugated board

Corrugated boxes are not only available in different layers, but they can have different shapes. And the functions of the corrugated board with different shapes are also different. There are significant differences in the performance of corrugated cardboard due to differences in corrugated shapes. Internationally, there are four common corrugated shapes, including A-flute, B-flute, C-flute, E-flute, and F-flute.

III. Usage for different corrugated paper board

1. Different corrugated shapes of the corrugated board

Corrugated paper A-flute and corrugated paper C-flute can make outer packaging boxes for transportation. B-flute generally can make beer boxes. While E-flute can make single-piece packaging boxes that require a certain degree of aesthetics and suitable weight for the contents.

F-flute and G-flute are micro-corrugated and are relatively thin. They appear in packaging microelectronic products such as digital cameras, portable stereos, and refrigerated goods. They are also appearing in packaging microelectronic products such as digital cameras, portable stereos, and refrigerated goods.

2. Different number of layers

As mentioned above, corrugated boards have different types, single-layer corrugated boards, three-layer corrugated boards, five-layer corrugated boards, seven-layer corrugated boards, and eleven-layer corrugated boards, etc. Depending on the needs of product packaging.

Single-layered corrugated board can be a protective liner for packaging. Single-layer corrugated board can make lightweight cardboard and padding to protect goods from shocks and shocks during storage, and transportation.

Three-layer and five-layer corrugated boards appear in the production of corrugated boxes. Many products are simply and beautifully packaged in the three-layer or five-layer corrugated board. There are beautiful and colourful graphics and images on the surface of the corrugated box or carton. This provides protection and promotes and beautifies the goods inside. Many three-layer or five-layer corrugated board boxes or cartons have gone directly to the sales counter and become sales packaging.

Seven-layer or eleven-layer corrugated can make packaging boxes for baking tobacco, furniture, motorcycles, large home appliances, and so on. In specific commodities, this corrugated board combination can make both inner and outer boxes. Which are easy to make and facilitate the loading, storage, and transportation of commodities.

With the need for environmental protection and the requirements of relevant national policies, this type of corrugated board makes up the packaging of goods. There is a trend to gradually replace wooden box packaging.

IV. Recycling

Old corrugated containers are an excellent source of fibre for recycling. They can be cost-effective transport. The baled boxes are put in a hydro pulper, which is a large vat of warm water for cleaning and processing. The pulp can make new paper and fibre products.

Then remove any extraneous materials like twine, strapping, etc. Metal straps and staples can be screened out or removed by a magnet.

Corrugated fiberboard shredders are now available which convert post-consumer corrugated board into packing/cushioning materials by means of a specialized shredding process.

Summary

Corrugated cardboard provides convenient, efficient transportation protection and significant savings in transportation costs. The corrugated structure of corrugated cardboard increases the resistance and safety of transportation. Used corrugated cardboard can also be recycled, which is an excellent paper material for environmental protection.
