What types of corrugated boxes are used in industry?
The factors considered in planning the design of corrugated boxes are transport hazards, tremors, humidity, shock caused by compression, and if worse comes to worse, corrugated boxes must withstand fire. In addition to providing proper protection for the products they must accommodate, corrugated boxes must be designed in a cost-effective manner to meet customer requirements, logistics requirements and machine requirements.
