DID YOU KNOW: Corrugated or Cardboard Boxes

Did you know: What the difference is between Corrugated or Cardboard boxes? Folks think they’re the same, but any packaging engineer would cringe to hear these terms being used interchangeably. Corrugated boxes are easily identified by their layers (usually three): An inside liner, an outside liner, and a “fluting,” which is sandwiched between. It’s the fluting that gives corrugated boxes their strength. Cardboard boxes on the other hand are simply a thick paper stock known as paperboard. Now you know the difference, and knowing is half of the (packing) battle. Custom boxes are available to build now. Click the button below to get started.

Did you know: that corrugated board is a combination of at least three sheets of paper, collectively called containerboard? The paper layers on the outside are known as the liners, or linerboard, while the fluted or wave-shaped material in the middle layer is called corrugating medium. Corrugated board comes in different thicknesses, depending on the height of the flutes, and number of flutes per foot. Ready to build a box?

Did you know: Corrugated boxes are a non-toxic, biodegradable product that can be safely disposed of, or recycled? The benefits of recycling cardboard is that it saves oil and energy. In fact, when you recycle 1 ton of cardboard this saves 46 gallons of oil!

Did you know: Although corrugated boxes are fully recyclable, oil and water can easily contaminate the material, rendering them unusable or non-recyclable. So keep those boxes clean!

Did you know: Corrugated boxes do not contain heavy metals or ozone-depleting substances, giving it one of the highest recycling rates (nearly 3/4) in the US?

Mullens VS ECT

I see a lot of the manufacturers on the west coast switching to ect as opposed to mullens tested boxes. This was a problem about 10 years ago with a lot of the end users as the main complaint with ect boxes were the actual thickness of the corrugated. It seems that is the first thing they noticed and for that reason they were rejected often.

I have noticed that most manufacturers on the east coast and in the south primarily stock ect board. It looks like the corrugated industry is aimed to move towards ect as the initial source of corrugated testing…. but will the end users adapt?
