Choose Corrugated Packaging to Protect Your Product

Corrugated packaging is the material of choice when it comes to shipping and is used in over 90% of all boxes and packaging containers produced. Corrugated packaging material is easy to spot and typically consists of one rippled sheet sandwiched between two flat sheets. Next time you have a product shipped to your home or business, check out the walls of the box it is delivered in. Are they thicker than a single, paper-thin sheet of cardboard? Do the walls have a slightly padded feeling to them? If so, chances are the walls of the box are made with corrugated cardboard.

Corrugated materials, first patented for packaging and shipping purposes in 1871, have enjoyed widespread use since that time. Although commonly used to create boxes for shipping and distribution, these materials can also be used for other purposes, such as display units, pallets and storage bins.

What are the advantages of using corrugated packaging?

Corrugated packaging is a cost-effective, strong, yet lightweight material that protects the items it holds from storage to shipping. It's also environmentally friendly.

Businesses across a wide range of industries use corrugated packaging to protect their products. For example, farmers use corrugated packaging to transport fruits and vegetables that may be easily bruised or damaged. Depending on the produce needing to be shipped, a removable plastic or waxed liner which serves as a moisture barrier may be added to the container. Manufacturers use corrugated containers to ship fragile products, or place corrugated cardboard liners, known as dividers, between fragile items such as pottery or glassware to provide additional product protection. Printing shops use them to ensure that the paper materials do not become creased or develop bent or folded edges during transportation. In some cases, businesses will provide consumers with corrugated packages to return products that they don't want or are damaged so as to minimise any further damage.

Corrugated packaging is not just for business use. Individuals often use corrugated packaging to protect fragile or perishable items they are shipping to friends and family members. You have many options to choose from when selecting the design of your corrugated box such as the size of box you want, how much room you want for further padding between your product and the inside of the box, and if you need a corrugated divider to allow you to layer your items or keep them firmly in place so they don't rattle or jostle against one another.

If you're a business owner you can tailor the outside of your corrugated containers with your company name, color scheme, contact information, logo, or whatever you want your customers to know about you. Although you can decide to let the experts handle it, you also have the flexibility to choose box style, board type, adhesives, treatment and colouring. In other words, these boxes are highly customisable!

When choosing corrugated materials for packaging and distribution purposes, you can feel confident about the quality of the product you are choosing. The process of producing corrugated materials is regulated by national and international monitoring agencies to ensure that the materials used in container production adhere to stringent quality standards
