Chapter 6 Corrugated cardboard packagingSection 6.06.0.1General informationIntroductionCorrugated cardboard packaging is produced out of renewable raw materials, which can beoptimally integrated into cycles of valuable substances. The packaging material connectseffective product protection with very low material usage and low weight as well as theiroutstanding mechanical processability. Therefore, their economic and ecologicaladvantages are linked ideally. The good physical characteristics enable a wide range ofapplications due to the flute profiles and their combinations.Corrugated cardboard is according to DIN 55405 cardboard made up of one or more layersof corrugated paper, which is glued to one layer or between several layers of paper orcardboard. Corrugated cardboard is distinguished between single-layer or multi-layercardboard. Corrugated cardboard is manufactured in a continuous automated process frompre-made paper and cardboard.Structure of corrugated cardboardThe type of flute mainly used is the circular flute shape (sinus wave)Status:October 2012Packaging Handbook2
Chapter 6 Corrugated cardboard packagingSection 6.06.0.1General informationIntroductionFor corrugated cardboard the size of the flutes determines their nomenclature and theirmain point of usage.Flute coarse springs well,has good cushioningproperties.Flute medium is suitable forfolding box boards, dimensionslie between the coarse and thefine flute.Flute fine is suitable forprinting on salespackaging.Flute finest, area of usagefor e.g. folding box.Status: October 2012Packaging Handbook3

Chapter 6 Corrugated cardboard packagingSection 6.06.0.2General informationApplicationIn practical use beside the technological properties listed in the norm for the applicationand processing the following parameters are relevant:-Ability for water absorption (Cobb)Air permeability of the papersDelamination of the papersBox compression test/edge crush testBending stiffnessFig. 1 Octagonal boxFig. 2 Hooded lid boxStatus: October 2012Packaging Handbook5
Chapter 6 Corrugated cardboard packagingSection 6.06.0.2General informationApplicationFig. 3 Corrugated cardboard folding boxThe broad application spectrum for corrugated cardboard packaging ranges from smallsize packaging (e.g. for samples) to IBCs (e.g. octagonal box).Corrugated cardboard packaging is used as primary and secondary packaging.The standardised types are laid down in international FEFCO-code.IBC made from cardboard are described in this chapter on reason they are made fromcardboard.Corrugated cardboard packaging is motion amongst others with automatic / manualsiphons. On paper quality selection is to allow that par example air permeability, surfacetexture, paper composition is specify.The air permeability of papers can be calculated according to DIN 53120-1.Status: October 2012Packaging Handbook6

Corrugated cardboard packaging is produced out of renewable raw materials, which can be optimally integrated into cycles of valuable substances. The packaging material connects effective product protection with very low material usage and low weight as well as their outstanding mechanical processability. Therefore, their economic and ecological advantages are linked ideally. The good
