Fluting paper and linerboard

Corrugated paper production

Corrugation of paper is a technological operation to create folds (corrugations) that improve its strength and resistance to deformation. This process is carried out by bending the sheet at a certain distance.

Corrugated paper in combination with cardboard is widely used in the production of packaging boxes, which is due to the cheapness of the material with its good strength and low weight. An important feature of the production is the use of waste paper as a raw material, contributing to the preservation of natural resources. Due to the absence of toxic compounds, corrugated paper is actively used in the production of containers for food products. The demand for it is growing - over the past 5 years, its production value in our country has increased by 70%.

How to choose fluting paper and cardboard

The main type of raw material used in the production of corrugated cardboard is corrugated paper, which is called "fluting". It is a single-layer material with a coarse texture, low glue absorption, and high rigidity. The main thing for fluting is a good ability to take the load. Therefore, when choosing paper for corrugation, it is important to take into account its characteristics: the higher they are, the better the packaging will be. High-quality fluting allows the carton to be lighter and have more durability.
