Market Overview
A corrugated box is a disposable container with three layers of material on its sides an outside layer, an inner layer, and a middle layer. When weighted materials are placed inside a corrugated box, the intermediate layer, which is fluted is designed in stiff, wave-shaped arches that act as supports and cushions. The process of aligning corrugated plastic or fiberboard (also known as corrugated cardboard) design elements with the functional, processing, and end-use requirements is known as corrugated box design. Packaging engineers strive to keep overall system costs under control while satisfying a box’s performance criteria.
