Corrugated Cartons

In the mid-19th century, an ingenious concept enabled flimsy sheets of paper to be transformed into a rigid, stackable and cushioning form of packaging for delicate goods in transit.

Corrugated (also called pleated) paper was patented in England in 1856 and was used as a liner for tall hats. Corrugated cardboard was not patented and used as a shipping material until 1871.

Today corrugated board is manufactured on large high-precision machinery lines called corrugators, usually running at 500 feet per minute or faster.

We offer both plain or printed corrugated cartons and corrugated boxes (recycled and recyclable material). We have a range of sizes available in stock for immediate dispatch or we can produce a box to your own measurements. Large and short runs, fast turnaround.
