| History
of Corrugated Boxes |
| In
19th century England, hand-cranked corrugated roller presses
were being used for ruffled shirt collars and cuffs. In 1856,
this press was adapted to generate corrugated paper to replace
plain paper in the cylindrical liners used to keep the shape
of the tall, stiff hats worn by gentlemen. The new cylinder
was stronger and its flutes provided cushioning in the sweatband. |
| In
1871, corrugated paper was first used in the U.S. to wrap bottles
and glass chimneys for kerosene lamps. Over the next 20 years,
machinery was progressively developed until the first "cellular
board boxes" were introduced in 1894. These corrugated
fibreboard boxes were much lighter and less expensive than wood
boxes, and appeared suitable for the shipment of light products.
