Corrugated is an extremely durable, versatile, innovative and lightweight material used for custom-manufactured shipping containers, packaging and point-of-purchase displays, in addition to numerous nontraditional applications ranging from pallets to children's toys and furniture.

The material's light weight and ability to knock down flat makes transport from box plants to filling warehouses relatively inexpensive. Over 90% of all products in the United States are shipped in corrugated boxes.

Corrugated packaging is a $20 billion plus-per-year industry -- the largest segment of the entire U.S. packaging industry.
