Applications of cardboard in modern life

0/5 (0 votes)

Corrugated cardboard is a common material in modern life. Everyone knows what corrugated cardboard looks like, its color, and material, but few people know more in-depth information about it. Let's join Hoang Phuc Pack to learn about this familiar material and how it is used in daily life.

1. Structure of corrugated cardboard

Have you ever deliberately turned a piece of corrugated cardboard sideways to see how it is made? You might be surprised to find that besides regular sheets of paper, there are one, two, or three other wavy sheets.


Indeed, you may have seen such an experiment somewhere: there are two glasses, some coins, and a sheet of paper. First, two glasses are placed parallel to each other, and a sheet of paper is placed across the top of the stationary glasses, then coins are placed on the paper, causing it to sag. The second time, the same thing is done, but this time the paper is folded into a wavy shape. Surprisingly, the result shows that the paper can support the coins.

So it is no coincidence that corrugated cardboard has multiple layers, including wavy ones. Besides making the paper stronger and better at bearing loads, it also makes the cardboard lighter. Without those wavy layers, we would have to stack many layers of regular paper together, making the cardboard very stiff, heavy, and wasteful. Sometimes, cardboard that is too stiff increases the risk of damaging items.


The more layers corrugated cardboard has, the stiffer it becomes, and the number of regular and wavy paper layers will vary. In addition, the wavy layers are classified into A, B, C, D, and E based on the size of the waves. Each combination of paper types is used for different purposes. Therefore, you should consult the manufacturer or seller to choose the most suitable type of cardboard.

2. Classification of corrugated cardboard

There are many types of corrugated cardboard, which are usually named according to their layer classification and wave type.

2.1. Classification by layers

Simply put, corrugated cardboard is named according to the total number of regular and wavy paper layers. For example, two-layer corrugated cardboard has one layer of regular paper and one layer of wavy paper. Three-layer cardboard has two regular layers and one wavy layer. Three-layer, four-layer, five-layer, and so on, are similar. Today, the thickest type is seven-layer cardboard (with three wavy layers and four regular layers).

2.2. Classification by wave type

As mentioned above, paper waves are classified according to their size. A-flute is the largest, with a height of up to 4.7 mm. E-flute is the smallest, with a height of 1.6 mm. In addition to naming cardboard by wave type, such as A-flute, B-flute, and C-flute cardboard, there are also types that combine different waves to produce different cardboard qualities, such as AB-flute, CE-flute, and ACD-flute cardboard.


3. Applications of corrugated cardboard in daily life

Corrugated cardboard is an indispensable common material in many areas of life due to its convenience, low cost, and versatility. Let's see how this seemingly ordinary material can do extraordinary things.

3.1. Application of corrugated cardboard boxes for product packaging

Today, many manufacturers use corrugated cardboard boxes for packaging and storing products. Despite the emergence of many higher-quality materials such as wooden boxes, plastic boxes, and aluminum boxes, paper material always plays a leading role as the optimal solution for designing packaging for any type of product.

With many advantages such as good load-bearing capacity, lightness, ease of printing, low cost, and printing techniques that produce beautiful finished products, many businesses, from food manufacturers to technology, cosmetics, and garment companies, prioritize choosing packaging made from corrugated cardboard.

3.2. Application of corrugated cardboard boxes for moving

Multi-layer corrugated cardboard boxes have the appropriate thickness to protect items from external forces. Furthermore, due to their light and not overly stiff nature, they help support and reduce the force of impact from inside the box during moving, especially if there is shaking and the items are not secured.

Corrugated cardboard boxes for moving come in many sizes, suitable for containing various items from small things such as toys, clothes, and books to large items such as sofas, refrigerators, washing machines, and computers.


3.3. Repurposing corrugated cardboard as protective padding


We can make full use of the features of corrugated cardboard even after it has lost some value after two or three uses. The cardboard sheets can be cut into smaller pieces to serve as protective padding when placing items inside large boxes. The cardboard fills the empty spaces in the box, reducing the movement of items and limiting impact. In this case, corrugated cardboard is considered superior to other materials because it is easy to find, low-cost, light, and has good elasticity.


3.4. Repurposing corrugated cardboard boxes into creative toys


After shopping and moving things around the house, we naturally end up with some leftover corrugated cardboard boxes that take up space if kept but are wasteful to throw away. People have repurposed these discarded items to create cute, useful items for their homes or toys for children.
