    Uploaded by

    Craig Daugherty
    Corrugated cardboard packaging is produced from renewable raw materials and provides effective product protection while using very low material amounts. It has outstanding mechanical properties and ideal economic and ecological advantages. Corrugated cardboard comes in various flute sizes and layer configurations, and DIN 55 468-1 specifies technical requirements for different types. Applications range from small sample packaging to large octagonal boxes. Module systems using standard box sizes help optimize transport capacity. Corrugated cardboard can be approved for hazardous goods transport when in certified types. Quality and return/recycling systems are also discussed.

    Chapter 6 Corrugated cardboard packaging
    Section 6.0 General information



    6.0.1 Introduction


    Corrugated cardboard packaging is produced out of renable 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 economical and ecological advantages are joint ideally. The good physical characteristics
    enable a wide range of applications due to the flute profiles and their combinations.
    Corrugated cardboard is according to DIN 55405-2 cardboard made up of one or more layers of corrugated
    paper, that is glued to one layer or between several layers of paper or cardboard. Corrugated cardboard is
    distinguished between single-layer or multi-layer cardboard. Corrugated cardboard is manufactured in a
    continuous automated process from pre-made paper and cardboard.


    Structure of corrugated cardboard


    The type of flute mainly used is the circular flute shape (sinus wave)

    6.0.1 Introduction


    For corrugated cardboard the size of the flutes determines their nomenclature and their main point of
    usage.




    Flute A (coarse) springs
    well, has good cushioning
    properties.
    Flute C (medium size) is suitable for
    folding box boards, dimensions lie
    between the coarse and the fine
    flute.

    Flute B (fine) is suitable for
    printing on sales packaging.
    Flute E/F (finest) area of usage
    for e.g. solid fibre board.

    6.0.2 Application


    The broad application spectrum for corrugated cardboard packaging ranges from small size 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 codes (ASSCO and FEFCO).

    6.0.3 Module systems

    A better usage of the mans of transportation can be achieved when using module systems, i.e. usage of
    corrugated cardboard boxes with base area dimensions of 600x400 mm or a conjugation of them.
    CP 1 and CP 2 pallets are adapted to this module system.



    Examples for loadings of a CP 1 pallet:

    600 x 400 400 x 300 400 x 200
