containerboard

Corrugated shipping material

Containerboard is heavy paperboard used to make corrugated boxes and shipping containers.

The term covers both the flat outer layers (linerboard) and the wavy inner layer (corrugating medium) that together form the rigid sandwich structure of cardboard boxes.

Containerboard prices rise when e-commerce shipping demand increases.
