Paper and paper-based products continue to occupy a predominant position among packaging materials, alongside metal containers and foils, glass, rigid and flexible plastics, cellulosic films, textiles, woven plastics and wood. Packaging papers include bleached and unbleached kraft paper, corrugated and solid fibre boards, as well as converted products such as wax-coated, plastic-coated and bitumen-coated papers.
Corrugated and solid fibre board boxes have increasingly replaced conventional wooden boxes as transport containers because of their light weight, satisfactory strength, low cost, easy handling, cushioning properties, compact storage and adaptability to interior packing. Attractive printing and wide availability further support their use across industries.
Packaging has gained importance with the growth of industrial and consumer sectors. Paper is widely used for boxes, bags, sealing tapes, drums, tubes and cushioning materials. In India, textile, tea, tobacco and coffee industries are among the major consumers of paper, with the report stating that about 35 per cent of total paper production goes to the packaging industry. Increasing industrial activity is expected to support demand for packaging papers and boards, particularly corrugated boxes and solid fibre containers.

Corrugated fibre board is a packaging structure made by combining liner board with a corrugated or fluted paper medium. The report describes corrugated board as a structure formed by gluing a liner board to one or both faces of a corrugated member. Its combination of light weight, strength and cushioning characteristics makes it suitable for transport packaging. Depending on the construction, corrugated boards can be produced in single-faced, double-faced, double-wall and triple-wall forms for different packaging requirements.
Corrugated boxes offer several packaging advantages, particularly low weight and ease of handling. They require relatively little storage space when flat, provide cushioning for packaged products and can be adapted to different interior packing requirements. Their surfaces can also support attractive printing and they are widely available. The report further identifies low cost, easy setting up and adaptability as important factors behind the growth of fibre boxes as alternatives to conventional wooden transport containers.
Common raw materials for corrugated box manufacturing include kraft paper, corrugating medium and liner boards. The report also covers cardboard, adhesive, sodium silicate and starch as relevant materials and inputs. The selection of paper grades and adhesive systems depends on the required board construction, strength, printing requirements and end use. Proper raw-material selection is important for achieving consistent board quality and suitable performance during converting, handling, storage and transportation.
Common constructions include single-faced, double-faced, double-wall and triple-wall corrugated fibre boards. These configurations differ in the number and arrangement of liners and corrugated mediums. Board construction is selected according to the strength, cushioning, stacking and protection requirements of the packaged product. The report also covers different corrugation types and a broad range of carton designs, including slotted, telescope, overlap, double-cover and specialty carton styles used for different packaging applications.
Corrugated board and box production can require several machines covering corrugation, cutting, pasting, printing, slotting, creasing and related converting operations. The report specifically discusses a single face corrugating machine, board cutting machine, pasting machine, sheet press, heavy-duty eccentric slotter, corrugating sheet printing machine, bar rotary cutting and creasing machine and partition slotter. The precise equipment configuration depends on the products, board specifications, production process and desired level of automation.
Corrugated boxes are used across industries that require protective, lightweight and economical transport packaging. The report identifies packaging as particularly important to industrial and consumer sectors and notes significant paper consumption by textile, tea, tobacco and coffee industries. Depending on their design and board construction, corrugated cartons can be adapted for different products, interior packing arrangements, handling conditions and transport requirements. Printing capability also allows manufacturers to provide product identification and other packaging information on the carton surface.
Paper-based packaging is important because it combines relatively low weight, ease of handling, versatility and suitability for converting into numerous packaging formats. Paper can be used for boxes, bags, sealing tapes, drums, tubes and cushioning materials. The report states that paper and paper-based products occupy a predominant position among packaging materials and that about 35 per cent of total paper production goes to the packaging industry. Corrugated and solid fibre containers have also expanded as alternatives to conventional wooden boxes.
