Corrugated packaging refers to boxes and containers made from corrugated board, which consists of a fluted corrugated sheet between two flat linerboards. This multi-layer construction provides strength and durability, making it ideal for shipping and storage. With multiple corrugators, StandFast Group produces our own corrugated board to control the quality of the material.

• Single-wall: One layer of fluting between two linerboards.
• Double-wall: Two layers of fluting, three linerboards, providing extra strength.
• Triple-wall: Three layers of fluting, four linerboards, used for heavy-duty packaging.

• Durability and strength: Protection for products during shipping.
• Lightweight: Lower shipping costs relative to other options.
• Recyclable and sustainable: Made predominantly from recycled materials and recyclable after use. StandFast Group provides 100% recycled paper as an option.
• Customizable: Easily produced to specific product needs and brand marketing requirements.
