Packaging, in addition to its traditional role in the protection of commodity transportation, is playing an increasingly important role in commercial sales. This requires that the packaging design be flexible and beautifully printed. Traditionally, the sales packaging carton is made from folded cardboard because the folding paperboard can obtain fine printing patterns on the offset printing machine.
In recent years, the new micro-corrugated cardboard has emerged in the European market and has attracted increasing attention from the industry. It has been predicted that micro-corrugated cardboard will likely replace most of the folded cardboard for packaging. The cartons industry in China should pay full attention to this.
Last year when Europe's first corrugated paperboard factory started selling `G` type micro-corrugated cardboard, it laid the foundation for this innovative packaging printing.
The thickness of the 'G' type corrugated board is 0.55mm, and the thickness of the 'N' type corrugated board is only 0.4mm. This type of micro-corrugated board has better stacking strength and shock-absorbing performance than the same gram-weight folding board. This means that The use of less packaging material to obtain the same protection features is very important for some brand owners who need cost-effectiveness in the fierce competition. Another important advantage of micro-corrugated board is that it can be printed directly on the offset press, which can not only obtain a beautiful pattern, but also can not reduce or destroy the strength of the board due to the deformation of the corrugated board due to printing.
Therefore, the use of newly-created micro-corrugated cardboard can not only print fine patterns directly on the cardboard, but also save packaging materials and post-processing costs, but also reduce transport costs.
`G` type and `N` type corrugated paperboard can be used as a substitute for folding paperboard, used for sales and packaging, and can also be used for the protection and transportation packaging of small commodities. `F` type corrugated cardboard (thickness of about 1.7mm) is more For product packaging or container shipping packaging.
