A Prolific Solution
The founding of paper and paper-based products was fuelled by the development of civilisations and our desire to communicate and trade with one another. Whilst paper based information exchange both in print & hand written mediums still has an essential place today, rapidly advancing technology and Microsoft.2 has provided us with many more options including the internet, email, webcams, pod casts, blogs, social networking, SMS and MMS.
It is a different story for corrugated paper and board, however. Since the first corrugated production machinery was introduced in the early 1900s, the simple concept of its protective application has remained constant and the demand for the material has followed the growth of global trade.
The development of flute constructions & combinations, paper grades, liner quality and print finishing has enhanced the flexibility and durability of what has become one of the world’s most prolific packaging solutions for protecting products during transportation and storage.
