Corrugated is more durable

Traditional paperboard is a thicker, heavier version of pulp or paper stock. For example, a cereal box is made of cardboard. Corrugated paperboard, on the other hand, may be made from cardboard materials, but the overall design and construction is more durable.
The biggest difference between cardboard and corrugated fiberboard is that corrugated is made of three layers. A pleated, fluted material sandwiched between the inner and outer cardboard layers provides superior strength that can withstand severe wear and tear throughout the packaging, storage, shipping and retail display process.

Corrugated paper is biodegradable

Corrugated paper is biodegradable and contains no dyes or bleach, so it can be effectively composted and recycled. At CHENXIANG, we work with supply chain suppliers who source their materials primarily from sustainable forests. Unlike traditional cardboard boxes, corrugated boxes can be reused over and over again, saving you money while reducing your carbon footprint.

 

Corrugated is customizable

As you learn about paperboard and corrugated, remember that it's all about context. If you're packaging grains, corrugated is not the right choice. If you're shipping fruits and vegetables, corrugated is by far the best choice.
The great thing about corrugated is that there are endless customizations and combinations to choose from. We offer custom corrugated solutions to fit your unique challenges and goals. CHENXIANG has 3/5/7 Ply Corrugated Cardboard Production Line, and we offer custom solution for you.

 

Corrugated is lightweight and flexible

When considering the weight of cardboard versus corrugated fiberboard, it is important to keep the overall strength-to-weight ratio in mind. While cardboard is typically a lighter material, corrugated board will be stronger at the same weight.
The pleated inner layer provides incredible strength and flexibility, while reducing the overall weight of the container.

 

 

Corrugated is more environmentally friendly

When choosing the type of packaging used to ship your products, the environmental footprint and ease of recycling of that packaging are important considerations for your business as well as for retailers and end users. Here are three reasons to choose recyclable corrugated packaging to ship your products to market.

1. Made of sustainable materials

Corrugated packaging is essentially made from paper, one of the most natural packaging materials in existence, and the lightest. To make corrugated packaging, wood pulp undergoes a chemical process to break down the fibers. These fibers are then used to make the paper used in our fiberboard boxes.

 

2. Biodegradable glue

When people ask the question, "Can you recycle corrugated fiberboard," they are often concerned about the ingredients used in the box's adhesives and finishes. Fortunately, newer formulations allow us to manufacture corrugated boxes using cornstarch adhesives, natural waxes and environmentally friendly dyes that break down easily during the corrugated box recycling process.

3. 100% recyclable

Biodegradable materials and modern technology make it easier than ever to recycle your corrugated packaging.
Before recycling your corrugated fiberboard, consider reusing the boxes or offering them to customers for packing their purchases and/or anyone moving. Once the boxes have reached the end of their useful life, simply fold and separate them for recycling.

Now that you know about the sustainability of corrugated fiberboard and how to recycle it, we invite you to contact our team to learn more about how our corrugated packaging options can reduce the environmental impact of today's businesses. chenxiang offers a full line of cardboard manufacturing machines and welcomes your inquiries.
