What
is corrugated? Everybody's seen it... just think of pizza boxes, or
the big boxes that hold new refrigerators and televisions. Corrugated
is built like a sandwich - characteristic arches of wavy "fluting"
lying between two pieces of smooth board on the outside. |
|
Corrugated
is made from a renewable resource - a large percentage of corrugated
material is sourced from byproducts of the lumber industry (chips,
shavings, sawdust). |
|
Old corrugated
boxes can be recycled many times to make new corrugated boxes and/or
recycled paperboard. |
|
Corrugated
allows for direct printing of high-quality, colour graphics (with
non-toxic, water-based inks) to "advertise" the product or
company’s message. |
|
Corrugated
is used to produce rigid shipping containers that can be cut and folded
into any shape or size. "Flute" sizes and thicknesses can
be customized to meet specific requirements of strength and flexibility. |
|
Corrugated
packaging is inexpensive and always readily available. Its light weight,
"knock down" ability and stackability makes for inexpensive
and easy-to-transport options. |
|
Corrugated
is impact-, drop- and vibration-resistant, as well as lightweight
yet durable enough to withstand the rigors of transporting products
over long distances. |
|
Corrugated
is a strong, versatile packaging material that is universally accepted
for recovery and recycling, while being "environmentally friendly."

Corrugated's
unique "cushioning" and flexibility characteristics make corrugated
an ideal packaging material |
