bølgeboks

Bølgeboks, often translated as "wave box" or "corrugated board," refers to a type of packaging material constructed from a combination of paper liners and a fluted inner layer. This structure creates air pockets that provide cushioning and rigidity, making it suitable for protective packaging and shipping. The fluted layer is typically formed by passing a sheet of paper through heated rollers in a process called corrugating. This indented paper is then glued between two flat paper liners. The number of fluted layers and their thickness determine the strength and cushioning properties of the bølgeboks.

The primary advantage of bølgeboks is its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, offering significant protection for goods with minimal added mass. It is also a versatile material, capable of being printed on for branding and information, and easily cut and folded into various box designs to accommodate different product shapes and sizes. Its widespread use in the shipping and logistics industry stems from its cost-effectiveness, durability, and recyclability. Bølgeboks can be manufactured in various grades, from single-wall to double-wall and even triple-wall constructions, each offering progressively greater strength for heavier or more fragile items. The specific type of fluting (e.g., A, B, C, E flute) also influences the board's characteristics, such as stacking strength and cushioning.
