A type of smooth, strong packing paper made from sulphate cellulose fibres. Highly tear-resistant and excellent as a base for securing goods in warehouses.
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.
