Historical perspective 1. Appearance of corrugated paper and the development First patents for making were recorded in England in 1856 First patents in Us were granted to A L. Jones in 1871 Unlined corrugated sheet---packing lamp chimneys and fragile objects The first user double-lined corrugated boxes was a cereal manufacturer (obtained acceptance in 1903) Figures reversed from 20% to 80% between the world War I and ll 2.

Corrugated Board 3. Flutes Profile: arches with proper curve----the strongest way to span space Flutes as arches---resist bending and pressure, support weight, as cushion Proper curve: between U and V(Also has its advantages) Flutes also as a insulator to protect sudden temperature changes Vertical linerboard provides strength; protects from damage Several standard shapes (A,B,C,EF…), Contrast A-flute ----the largest profile B-flute ----smaller than a C-flute ----between a and B E-flute --- smaller than B A一 F-flute ----micro-flute New flute---Macro-flute

Corrugated Board 5. Corrugating adhesive The corrugating machine forms the medium into a fluted pattern and bonds it to the linerboard facings, usually with a starch-based adhesive )A Starch-based adhesive applied at about 10 to 14 grams per square meter 2)Requirements: not tolerant high moisture and loses strength quickly 3)When higher resistance is needed, starches can be modified or supplemented by the addition of various polymeric materials 4 Weather-resistant adhesive would maintain box properties at a somewhat higher level for a longer period 5)Water-resistant adhesive would be required for those applications where the finished container will be in actual contact with water for periods of time and the coating or waxed should be treated
