They are used across various industries to package and ship all manner of products. From everyday household items and perishables to modern electronic equipment. This is because they are strong, easy to handle, control and are also efficient. They can also be recycled and reused.

In the packaging industry, a lot of healthy competition is found between corrugated and plastic packaging. The one advantage that corrugated boxes have over other types of packaging material is the fact that they are recyclable and reusable. At home, they can be used to store items and can even be used to transport personal belongings when moving.

The boxes are usually used as a secondary packaging choice. This means that they package goods that are already in their final packaging. The goods are meant to be transported from the manufacturers to the distributors and retailers. Final consumers get the products without the corrugated boxes.

They contain graphics that help their contents to be easily identified especially during shipment. However, in some instances, they are used as the primary package choice for some products. This is common in electronic products. In this case, the boxes carry the printed brand and product identification print on the outside to help sell the product.

Corrugated boxes are made from paper boards that are usually laminated by special machines that fold them. They come in different sizes and dimensions depending on the package they are to ship. They can be single layered, double or even triple layered. Products such as car parts that are heavy duty need boxes that are strong such as the double and triple layered boxes. Single layered boxes are used for light products.

The size of the flutes determines the thickness of the layers of the corrugated boxes. The flutes come in different sizes but the size used in the single-layered boxes is the most common and preferred by many. The liner board is the outermost layer and is in some cases bleached to allow high-quality printing.

The color of most corrugated boxes is brown which is the color of unbleached ground wood paper. You may find boxes that have color printing on them. Such boxes are usually bleached on the outer most layer to allow color printing.

A double layered corrugated box usually has three layers of liner board that is then separated by two layers of corrugating medium. The two layers of the flute are usually not of the same size. The smaller flute is located towards the outside of the box since it gives an even surface that makes it easy for printing to be done on the surface. The large flutes are on the inside of the box and they enhance the stacking strength of the box.
