The latest report by IMARC Group titled, “Corrugated Boxes Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2017-2022”, finds that the global corrugated boxes market reached a value of US$ 161 Billion in 2016, exhibiting a CAGR of around 5% during 2009-2016. Corrugated boxes are made by pasting two layers of flat papers (liners) with a wavy layer of cardboard (flute) in between. The wavy layer protects the content of the box by providing insulation and strength. Unlike plastic crates, corrugated boxes provide rigidity, flexibility, durability and cost-effectiveness. Moreover, they are crush-resistant and thereby, withstand top and side pressure. Since, corrugated boxes are solely made of paper, they are eco-friendly and bio-degradable.
