The Best Choices in Corrugated Packaging

Corrugated packaging goes by several different names.  To the run of the mill consumer, it’s all cardboard.  However, cardboard is actually a heavy paper-pulp product.  Good examples of this include card stock and poster board.  Corrugated fiberboard commonly refers to cardboard.
Corrugated fiberboard comes from the fiber of paper.  Oddly enough, it is one of the oldest packaging products around dating back to 1895, in America.  It is one of the most environmentally friendly options around.  Recycling corrugated packaging is easier on the environment than any other packaging material.
Corrugated fiberboard consists of two linerboards and a fluted corrugated paper in between them.  The fluted paper is humidified and molded into the ridged paper.  The machines that manufacture corrugated packaging are state-of-the-art industrial technology.  As a result, most packaging suppliers offer a variety of standard shapes and sizes.  Custom-made boxes are easy to implement and design.  
Some manufacturers will even package your packaging for you.  Outsourcing your packaging is one of the best ways to save money.  The manufacturing plants are set up to store and professionally package products with all the right packaging materials– quickly and cheaply.
Corrugated packaging can be purchased in bundles, cases, or pallets.  The boxes are shipped the same business day in the flat form, to save storage space.
There are many different types of corrugated packaging to choose from including:
•    Multi-depth boxes – You can cut the box using prescored intervals to fit your needed size and save in storage space.
•    Heavy duty boxes – These are 40% stronger than standard boxes.
•    White corrugated – Makes your shipping labels stand out.
•    Corrugated sheets and pads – Prevent forklift damage when placed below and on top of boxes.

Keep in mind that these are only some of the options available in corrugated packaging.  There are several styles and shapes to choose from when you go with a professional packaging supply company.
