A Glossary of Corrugated:

Corrugated board is a universal transport packaging material. Its higher strength relative to its cost has made this possible.

In today's competitive environment a thorough understanding of this material is required to get the best out of the money that is being spent on your corrugated packaging. This is especially true when considerable amounts of money are being spent by end-users of corrugated board. The manufacture of corrugated board is a complex process designed to fabricate a structure that should be capable of taking stacking loads, which has higher bending stiffness, greater printability, and so on. In short, corrugated board is not manufactured, it is engineered.

It is in this context that we present this glossary. It is our humble endeavour that users of corrugated packaging find this booklet enlightening.
