Reasons to Use Corrugated Rolls in Construction

Image
  Construction and remodeling jobs can be quite messy and damaging to the floors of a building. This can lead to costly repairs and damages. However, with the introduction of corrugated rolls, construction companies have found a more economical and efficient way to protect the property. Corrugated rolls are designed with a fluted (wavy) design adhered to a smooth layer of cardboard, making them lightweight yet sturdy protection for many purposes.

Single Wall or Double Wall Corrugated Boxes

Image
Corrugated boxes are made of paperboard as opposed to the typical cardboard, and have air-filled ruffles, also known as flutes, running throughout them. The ruffles give the boxes a sturdier design and more durability. There are four primary types of corrugated boxes: Single face: A much weaker material consisting of stacking only 1-2 sheets of liner board. Single wall: The standard box type strengthened with 2 sheets of glued liner board. Double wall: A heavy-duty box strengthened with 3 sheets of glued liner board. Triple wall: An industrial-weight box strengthened with 4 sheets of liner board holding up to 100 Lbs.

There are three main types of corrugated cardboard you’ll come across when it comes to cartons. Single wall – one layer of fluted board is sandwiched between two sheets of liner board. This would make a single wall cardboard carton. Double wall – two layers of fluting that are glued to three layers of liner board. This would make a double wall cardboard carton, which is stronger than using single wall alone. Triple wall – three layers of fluting are laminated with four liner boards. This would make a triple or tri-wall box – the most heavy-weight and durable of all boxes. Fluting profiles:   Fluting is the wavy or fluted piece of paper inside corrugated cardboard that helps to strengthen the boxes. It’s what creates the stripey grain like texture you would see when looking at a piece of cardboard. It can vary in...
