Is Corrugated Packaging the Future?
Have you ever wondered how and why corrugated packaging is an essential component of every product around you? This is all due to the sustainability of corrugated packaging. Corrugated boxes are made up of recycled paper and are a sustainable alternative to plastic packaging. It has also widely replaced wood packaging because of its reliability, availability, and cheaper prices. Corrugated boxes even provide moisture-free packaging for your moisture-sensitive products. It can protect your sensitive products such as glass, decorations, etc.
Corrugated packaging has taken the packaging industry by storm due to its unique design. Corrugated sheets have one zigzag paper; a fluting paper sandwiched between two liner papers. This zigzag paper is the secret to protection because air gaps in between two liners act as a weight cushion to your products. Whenever your product packaging is subject to disturbance, it is this fluting that acts as shock absorbent hence keeping your product safe. Liner papers stick to fluting paper with starch-based glue. Both Liner papers hold the fluting paper together to bear the product’s weight; if liner paper ruptures, then product weight will end up crashing the fluting. We usually use water based inks to print on corrugated boxes. We can get three to four color printing for your products. Digital printing is also an option for corrugated boxes, but it is a bit costly as compared to Flexo water-base printing. Flexo Printing also enables speedy production of corrugated boxes.
