Corrugated vs Cardboard – What’s the differences?

March 31, 2021Admin KYM

With more online sales, the shipping industry is booming. In 2021, online goods purchasing is expected to reach roughly 2.15 billion. Since the pandemic, new norm had pushed shoppers to purchase items online frequently. Regardless of whether clients are purchasing from online sources like Shopee or Lazada or are purchasing on the web from physical retailers, each purchaser anticipates that their products should arrive quickly and in great condition.

Depending on the size and weight of your item, you have it delivered out in a cushioned or supported envelope or a box. For retailers utilizing box-style transporting cartons, the impression the container makes when your client first sees it is very important. In the event that you ship items consistently, have sure you know the effect between corrugated vs cardboard to guarantee that you’re utilizing the right kind of packaging material for your business.

While both cardboard and corrugated packaging may seem to be comparative similar and might appear to achieve similar tasks, they’re actually very different in terms of structure and material.

So … What Is Cardboard Carton?

A cardboard carton is made of thick paper stock or hefty paper-mash. It’s striking for its thick and generally solid consistency, which makes it a top choice for various kinds of shopper bundling applications. Items can be delivered in compartments made of cardboard, yet it presents a danger to retailers as the material gives little security and furthermore requires additional material, for example, bubble wrap to guarantee the items inside stay safe.

While cardboard has numerous benefits and is solid enough for most customer applications, it’s generally not adequately extreme for transportation of items through the mail or by logistic company. This is where corrugated carton box comes in.

Then… What Is Corrugated Carton?

Corrugated cartons are made of multi-layer of corrugated fibreboard as opposed to simply a solitary or single sheet. Corrugated fibreboard is a material consisting of a fluted corrugated sheet and one or two flat linerboards.Linerboard is the flat material, typically on the outer surfaces of the board but also on the inside for some structures, that adheres to the medium. Medium is the paper that is formed into arches or flutes on the single facer and glued between the linerboard facings.It’s named for the interior layer of wavy paper, also called the corrugated medium, which gives the cardboard its strength.

Corrugated fiberboard can be specified by the construction (single face, singlewall, doublewall, etc.), flute type, burst strength, edge crush strength, flat crush, basis weights of components (pounds per thousand square feet, grams per square meter, etc.), surface treatments and coatings, etc. TAPPI and ASTM test methods for these are standardized.

The choice of corrugated medium, flute size, combining adhesive, and linerboards can be varied to engineer a corrugated board with specific properties to match a wide variety of potential uses. Double and triple-wall corrugated board is also produced for high stacking strength and puncture resistance.

Benefits of Corrugated Carton

Corrugated Carton Boxes can be used to ship everything from apples to washing machines. By changing the design of a box, combining layers of corrugated or adding interior packaging, a corrugated carton box can be manufactured to efficiently ship and store almost any product.Not only is this beneficial for shipping purposes, but it also plays an important part in supporting the weight of food in pizza boxes and corrugated cardboard takeout boxes.

This cardboard fluting construction also plays an integral role in protecting items during transportation and preventing damages. The curved arches created by these flutes make boards durable and resist pressure applied from any angle. The empty space located between the flutes and under the arches even provides cushioning, as well as insulation in the event of extreme temperature changes.
