Corrugated Packaging

Most items at your favourite supermarket, discount store, or shopping mall were safely delivered in boxes made of corrugated cardboard, and many are displayed in the same boxes, which were manufactured so they could be opened and used for this purpose. A corrugated box is a shipping container made of corrugated fibreboard rather than solid paperboard. These are most commonly used to transport and warehouse products during distribution.

From the paper mill, rolls of Kraft paper are transported to a corrugating, or converting, plant. At the plant, layers of Kraft paper are crimped and glued to form corrugated cardboard, which is then cut, printed, folded, and glued to make boxes. At the beginning of this process, Kraft rolls from the paper mill are loaded into a huge machine called a corrugator. A typical corrugator is as long as a football field—300 feet (91.44 meters). Some rolls of Kraft paper are used as the corrugating medium, and others are used as liners, the layers of Kraft paper glued on each side of the medium. After the corrugator has heated, glued, and pressed the Kraft paper to form corrugated cardboard, the continuous sheet of cardboard is cut into wide box blanks that then go to other machines for printing, cutting, and gluing. Finally, batches of finished boxes are banded together for shipping to the food processor, toy maker, automobile parts distributor, or any of the thousands of businesses that depend on corrugated cardboard packaging.
