Corrugated fiberboard is a paper-based material consisting of a fluted corrugated sheet and one or two flat linerboards. It is widely used in the manufacture of corrugated boxes and shipping containers. Corrugated is available in 'kraft' brown and mottled white. It can also be coated with a variety of functional coatings such as non-slip, fire retardant, electrostatic, and water/weather resistance. Cardboardboxes4U works with all grades and specifications of corrugated including:

  • All classes and grades per ASTM-D4727 and ASTM-D5118.
  • All classes and grades per PPP-F-320 and PPP-B-636.
  • Fire retardant corrugated including domestic (D/FR) and weather-resistant fire-retardant (WR/FR).
  • Single-wall, double-wall, and triple-wall from any combination of flutes.
  • Static-protective and static-dissipative corrugated.
  • Single-face corrugated meeting A-A-1051 and PPP-P-291'

Corrugated is described by various designations contingent to the application and detail, but usually is identified by at least grade, class, variety, and flute. Grade is a measure of strength and is either quoted as stacking strength (ECT grades) or burst strength (Mullens grades). Class refers to protective properties such as weather resistance, water vapor resistance, and fire retardant. We supply all classes including weather resistant (WR/WWVR) classes such as V3C and W5C. Our fire retardant (Class FR) corrugated is in total compliance with ASTM-D4727 and ASTM-D5118.
