Factors to consider when choosing the type of corrugated board

Because corrugated cardboard is made of environmentally friendly materials, easy to mold, and has a versatile structural design, the applications of corrugated cardboard in other areas have been extended, such as paper furniture, paper display countertops, cardboard display racks, paper packaging, paper display walls, and so on. Of course, to realize these applications, in addition to choosing the right type of corrugated, it is necessary to have a reasonable structural design.

In practice, to achieve the correct selection of the required corrugated board, various factors must also be considered. For example

Industry Factors

In the previous section, different types of corrugated board are used in different industries. However, these are only the general direction from the size model corresponding to the industry sector. They are also not one-to-one correspondence. In addition to these, some of the following factors should also be considered.

High demand

High demand allows you to ask your supplier to produce the specified corrugated board directly;

Small demand

Small demand, considering the cost factor, it is not possible to specify the paper to be used, and it is generally sufficient to choose the supplier’s regular corrugated board.

Size of goods

Corrugated cardboard is used in packaging, special attention should be paid to the size of the box, which is an important factor affecting the choice of corrugated flute type.

Load capacity

Different weights of commodities, or the weight of the items that need to be carried on them, will have requirements for the corrugated board used to manufacture the commodities.

For example, a cosmetic display with a load capacity of 300KG and a beverage display with a load capacity of 500KG may require corrugated board with different thicknesses and different load capacities.

To put it simply, when choosing corrugated board for sales packaging, consideration should be given to the overall aesthetics and protection of the presentation. For transportation packaging, consideration should be given to protection. For cushioning packaging, consideration should be given to the ease of actual operation and whether or not the cushioning requirements can be met. Of course, only by understanding the characteristics of each type of corrugated can we make a correct and reasonable choice.
