Corrugated packaging paper is a type of paper designed specifically for the manufacturing of corrugated board, which is commonly used in the packaging industry. This material is prized for its durability, strength, lightweight nature, and recyclability, making it an eco-friendly packaging option. The key to its strength lies in its unique structure; corrugated paper consists of a fluted corrugated sheet sandwiched between two flat linerboards.
The corrugated sheet, often made from a medium called containerboard, provides the primary strength and rigidity to the board. This fluted layer can have various profiles, commonly referred to as 'flutes,' which range in size from 'A' flutes (larger) to 'F' flutes (smaller) and everything in between. The choice of flute size balances the need for product protection, box strength, and efficient use of space.
The linerboards that make up the outer layers of the corrugated board are generally made from a type of kraft paper. Kraft paper is known for its strength and durability, which it derives from the long fibers of softwood trees such as pine. These outer layers protect the fluted middle layer and also provide a surface suitable for printing and labeling, which is critical for branding and product information in retail environments.
The process of creating corrugated packaging paper begins with pulping wood chips or recycling old corrugated containers (OCC). The pulp is then processed, cleaned, and formed into sheets. After the sheets are dried, the fluting process imparts the wavy structure to one of the paper layers, which is then adhered to the linerboards using a starch-based adhesive, creating the familiar corrugated material used in cardboard boxes and shipping containers.
Corrugated packaging is versatile, and its applications range from shipping cartons and retail packaging to protective padding within other packaging. It can be easily cut, folded, and manipulated into a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate different products. Furthermore, corrugated cardboard can be coated or treated to acquire additional properties like moisture resistance, making it suitable for an even wider range of products.
As sustainability becomes an increasing concern, the ability to recycle corrugated packaging paper is a significant advantage. Most corrugated packaging can be recycled numerous times before the fibers become too short to make new cardboard, thereby reducing the need for new raw materials and the environmental impact associated with the production of new packaging materials.
