Corrugated boxes are among the most reliable and widely used packaging solutions in the world. Combining lightweight strength, design flexibility, and eco-friendliness, they have become the go-to choice for industries ranging from e-commerce and retail to heavy-duty industrial shipping.
At Kardboards, we specialise in creating high-performance corrugated packaging tailored to the specific requirements of your brand and product.
What Makes Corrugated Boxes Unique?
Corrugated boxes are made from multiple layers of paperboard — typically one or more fluted (wavy) sheets sandwiched between flat linerboards. The fluted layer acts like a cushion, protecting contents from shocks, pressure, and impact. This engineering gives corrugated packaging its trademark strength and versatility.
Core Components of Corrugated Structure
- Flute: The arched inner layer that provides compression resistance and shock absorption.
- Linerboard: Smooth outer surfaces offering support, printability, and moisture resistance.
- Adhesive: The bonding material that fuses the fluted sheet with the linerboards for stability.
Types of Corrugated Boxes
- Single-Wall: One fluted medium between two liners — ideal for lightweight items and retail packaging.
- Double-Wall: Two fluted layers and three liners — provides extra durability for heavier or fragile products.
- Triple-Wall: Three fluted mediums and four liners — used for industrial or export packaging where maximum strength is required.
Applications of Corrugated Packaging
Corrugated boxes adapt to virtually every industry:
- E-commerce & Retail: Lightweight, printable, and easy to brand for customer appeal.
- Food & Beverage: With protective coatings, they ensure hygienic and secure transport.
- Electronics: Provide anti-shock cushioning for delicate components.
- Industrial & Export: Heavy-duty triple-wall boxes are built for bulk shipments and international transit.
