What is corrugated cardboard?


Corrugated cardboard is a lightweight, strong, and versatile packaging material made up of multiple layers of paper, one or more of which are corrugated. This wavy structure provides high load-bearing capacity and strong shock absorption.

The result? A package that optimally protects products during transport and storage, without unnecessary costs or waste.

For companies that want to package efficiently, sustainably, and scalably, corrugated cardboard is the standard - but also a huge optimization opportunity.


Why choose corrugated cardboard?


01

wine packaging made of honeycomb cardboard

Strong protection, less risk of damage

The corrugated core acts as a shock absorber and distributes pressure over the surface. This keeps products protected, even in complex supply chains with multiple handling moments.

02

cardboard sheets

Lightweight, lower costs

Corrugated cardboard combines strength with low weight. This results in lower transport costs, more efficient handling, and less strain on your logistics processes.

03

Sustainable and circular packaging

Corrugated cardboard is fully recyclable and is often produced from recycled fibers. It is a forward-looking choice for companies that want to reduce their ecological impact.

04

Flexible and scalable

From small series to large volumes: corrugated cardboard is suitable for any type of production and can easily be adapted to changing needs.

Frequently Asked Questions


Yes. Especially double-walled cardboard and reinforced structures are designed to absorb high loads and pressure, making them ideal for heavy or industrial applications.

Absolutely. Both exterior and interior printing is possible, which not only provides protection but also contributes to brand experience and customer experience. We also do this ourselves with Inside Printing.

Due to its low weight, optimal level of protection, and the possibility of customization, you avoid transport damage, reduce material usage, and increase efficiency in storage and handling. This directly translates into a lower Total Cost of Ownership.

Corrugated cardboard is more flexible and widely applicable for various uses. Honeycomb cardboard is denser and is more often used for extreme pressure loads or heavy structures.
