Fremont, CA: Corrugated cardboard is a popular form of CPG packaging. It is a cost-effective, durable, and sustainable option for many products. Corrugated packages and cardboard are not quite the same material. It is made from fluting or arched paper. Corrugated cardboards can be coated or treated with flame retardants or adhesives and can be folded into different shapes and sizes to fit most products in any industry. In fact, one can customize printing on corrugated materials, turning it into an attractive package for products.
Let us look at the benefits of Corrugated Cardboard for CPG Packaging:
Reusable
Corrugated cardboards are reusable. One can recycle renewable materials that make up corrugated packaging. Designers can create fully reusable and collapsible corrugated cardboard packages that can save companies' time in the long-term. The layers that make up the material is durable and can be used several times before recycling them.
Energy Saving
Since corrugated packaging can be made with a high percentage of recycled components that require less time to manufacture, it saves energy.Corrugated cardboard does not necessarily use 100 percent virgin materials. Many companies take the component parts from local recyclers. Besides this, companies use the timber from renewable and fast-growing pine trees for their paper pulp. Suppliers can harvest from sustainable forest plots, then plant new tree saplings to replace the trees and begin the process all over again. These processes are extremely sustainable and can curtail a company's carbon footprint.
Highly Customizable
Corrugated packaging is highly customizable from the width or side of the packaging to the promotional printing on the outside. The customization includes the ability to design CPG packaging to ensure that it is "right-sized' to match the product. Corrugated cardboard that can reduce waste in this way would help lower carbon emissions when shipping. Also, it can reduce wastage space in warehouse storage.
