Advantages and disadvantages of corrugated paper packaging

The advantages of corrugated paper packaging include low cost, light weight, easy processing, high strength, excellent printing adaptability, convenient storage and handling, good buffer performance, light and firm, sufficient raw materials, easy to automate production, low cost of packaging operations, recyclable. However, it also has some shortcomings, such as moisture resistance may not be as good as other materials, easy to be deformed by moisture, and not easy to print.

Advantages:

Low cost: Corrugated paper is rich in raw materials, including corner wood, bamboo, wheatgrass, reed, etc., making its cost low, only about half of the same volume wooden box.

Light weight: Corrugated cardboard is hollow structure, with less material to form a rigid box, compared with the wooden box of the same volume, the weight is only about half of the wooden box.

Easy processing: The processing performance of corrugated paper is excellent, easy to cut, slotting, opening, folding, etc., easy to process and pack.

High strength: Although corrugated cardboard has a special structure, 60 to 70% of the volume in the cardboard structure is empty, but has good shock absorption performance, can avoid the packaged items by collision and impact.

Excellent printing adaptability: The printing adaptability of corrugated paper is good, and it can meet different packaging needs.

Convenient storage and handling: Because corrugated cardboard is light and firm, it is more convenient for storage and handling.

Convenient for automated production: A complete set of corrugated box production automatic line has been manufactured, which can produce corrugated boxes in large quantities and efficiently.

Low packaging operation cost: corrugated packaging items can realize automatic packaging of items, reducing the packaging workload and reducing the packaging cost.

Recyclable: more than 80% of corrugated paper can be recycled and recycled, which is relatively environmentally friendly.

Cons:

Poor moisture resistance: The moisture resistance of corrugated paper may not be as good as other materials, and humid air or long-term rainy days will cause the paper to become soft and poor.

Not easy to print: Corrugated paper is not easy to print, which may limit its application in some packaging designs.

In summary, corrugated packaging occupies a place in the packaging industry with its advantages of low cost, lightweight and environmental protection, but at the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to its moisture-proof performance and printing deficiencies.
