Corrugated cardboard is a light, durable and recyclable material that forms the backbone of the modern packaging industry. Production of quality corrugated cardboard starts with the selection of the right paper raw material.
Layers of Corrugated Cardboard
A corrugated cardboard sheet basically consists of two components: flat surface papers (liner) and the wavy layer in the middle (fluting paper). The quality of these layers directly determines the bearing strength of the final package.
- Testliner: Economical surface paper produced from recycled fibers.
- Kraftliner: Superior durable surface paper containing a high percentage of primary (virgin) fibers.
- Fluting (Gutter Paper): Creating a wave form between the layers, with high compressive strength. paper.
Factors Determining Packaging Strength
Performance of corrugated cardboard; It is measured by parameters such as grammage, explosion resistance (Mullen), edge crush resistance (ECT) and moisture resistance. These values depend on the fiber quality and production process of the paper raw material used.
