Dimensional Weight & Packaging

Corrugated Box

Also called: Corrugated carton, shipping carton

Definition

A paper-based shipping container made with fluted material between one or more liner sheets.

In practical terms

Corrugated construction provides strength with relatively low weight. Box style and board grade should match the contents, stacking conditions, and transportation environment.

Example

A double-wall corrugated carton is selected for dense machine components that must withstand stacking.
