corrugated packaging benefits

Corrugated packaging is known to meet the needs of every industry sector and business. Inexpensive, lightweight, but robust and strong, corrugated is the preferred form of packaging for heavy industrial components, take-away meals or books and apparel. Since the creation of the first corrugated paper in 1856, there have been many developments of the corrugated paper that made it stronger.

When the raw material is converted into paper on a corrugator, different grades can be applied to make up the box. Depending on the needs that a customer has, CBS can make very strong boxes for heavy duty applications or single wall boxes ideal for packaging goods like books, jewelery, clothing, shoes etc. There is a box for every need and CBS Packaging can meet all the requirement, no matter the size or flute type.
