Cardboard is a versatile packaging material made primarily from paper pulp and cellulose fibers, which are derived from wood or recycled paper. The production process begins with breaking down raw wood or recovered paper into a slurry of fibers, which is then pressed, layered, and dried to form thick sheets. These sheets can be single-layered or combined into corrugated structures, giving the material extra strength and impact resistance.
Because of its combination of light weight and durability, cardboard is widely used for shipping boxes, product packaging, displays, and protective inserts. It is easy to cut, fold, and print on, making it ideal for customized packaging solutions. Cardboard is also highly recyclable and often produced with a significant percentage of post-consumer waste, which helps reduce environmental impact. In modern manufacturing, many producers emphasize using sustainably sourced wood and water-based adhesives to make cardboard even more eco-friendly.
