Packaging produced entirely from a single material type. A shipment consisting of a paper carton, paper void fill and paper tape is monomaterial — straightforward in mass recycling.
Material consisting of smooth outer liners and a corrugated inner medium (fluting), giving the board elasticity and strength. The primary construction material for standard shipping cartons.
A goods distribution system where incoming warehouse stock is transferred almost immediately to outbound trucks, bypassing the rack storage stage entirely.
Weight measured in grams per square metre. The higher the value (e.g. 100 gsm), the more crush-resistant, stiff and difficult to puncture the paper is.
A logistics model for online selling where the shop does not stock goods, and the shipment is fulfilled directly from the wholesaler to the end retail customer.
