Corrugated cardboard packaging with printing (flexographic and digital) manufactured from recycled fiber by Grupak
The printing of the packaging is applied to its outer surfaces. Single wall corrugated cardboard
packaging is manufactured with three papers: two outer and inner facings (liners) and a
central paper that forms the corrugated medium (flute).
It includes two protective barriers against ink migration. Double-wall corrugated cardboard
packaging is manufactured with five papers: two outer and inner facings, one central paper,
and two corrugated mediums (flutes), providing four protective barriers against ink migration
that prevent contact with the products contained inside.
Types of Corrugated Cardboard Packaging
Regular Slotted Corrugated Boxes (RSC): These boxes are the most common and
economical type of corrugated cardboard boxes, as the entire sheet of cardboard is used in
their manufacturing. These boxes have two flaps that meet completely close at the center.
Overlap Slotted Corrugated Boxes (OSC): These boxes have flaps that overlap with one
another, providing greater security and cushioning for the product placed inside. They are
commonly used for delicate or heavy products that could deform or break a regular slotted
corrugated box.
Die-Cut Corrugated Boxes: These boxes feature special designs and are self-assembling.
Their manufacturing requires a die-cut process. They are highly specialized self-assembling
boxes with automatic closures.
