Corrugated Packaging
About Corrugated
Corrugated material is everywhere, used to display, promote and package almost every product you see and buy. Corrugated boxes still reign today as the number one preferred form of transport packaging. Find out more about corrugated packaging below.
What is Corrugated?
Corrugated fiberboard or “combined board” has two main components: the liner and the medium. Both are made of a special kind of heavy paper called containerboard. Linerboard is the flat material, typically on the outer surfaces of the board but also on the inside for some structures, that adheres to the medium. Medium is the paper that is formed into arches or flutes on the single facer and glued between the linerboard facings.
