Packaging manufacturers need to continue operations during the COVID shutdowns and corrugated boxes play a very important role in supply chain. Corrugated sheets are durable and reliable by design and has multiple layers including an outside liner, an inside liner, and a fluted layer that runs in between. Manufacturers create these boxes for shipping goods. The edge of the corrugated paper has air columns to provide adequate cushioning to delicate goods. The edges of corrugated packaging boxes have different strength levels and elasticity, and this property helps manufactures to choose it as best option.

The bursting strength of paper/strong paper-board is tested for storing and transporting goods that are stacked and shipped as a unit load. Bursting strength is a very important factor to analyze and evaluate the strength of materials such as corrugated cardboard and boxes. Corrugated boxes are preferred by manufacturers due to their structural rigidity used to pack any fragile items. Corrugated boxes are the most suited for packing a wide variety of products regardless of their size and shape. They are versatile enough to transport and cushion perishable and fragile products.
