Different types of cardboard are used depending on the application, which in turn are standardised internationally via the FEFCO catalogue. Examples of common types of cardboard are:

Corrugated cardboard shipping boxes are suitable for almost all shipping goods – from lightweight e-commerce products to heavy items where protection, stackability and process reliability are crucial. Shipping boxes can also be easily customised (dimensions, structure, printing, etc.), which means that in addition to product protection, they can also have a significant impact on the unboxing experience and brand image. Paper and cardboard packaging is also highly recyclable and is considered one of the materials with the highest recycling rates across the EU.
