The main advantages of corrugated packaging: work safety, logistics optimisation and environmental sustainability

The advantages offered by the use of industrial packaging made of corrugated cardboard are of various types

Corrugated cardboard is a strong but light packaging that prevents accidents. Even if a package may fall at a given moment, its lightness prevents the accident from becoming a damage to the operator who is working.

In contrast to the use of other packaging materials, such as wood, there are no splinters or harmful elements that can cause accidents at work, making it safer to protect employees.

Its lightness is also a factor in the prevention of occupational hazards as it allows operators to work with the packages without having to move large amounts of weight and prevents injuries. Even when it arrives folded, its assembly is simple and harmless to health.

     Of course, corrugated cardboard is cheaper than other materials, but it maintains the same protective properties. That is to say, it does not lose the main characteristic required of a packaging in terms of product safety because it is more economical.

Thanks to its lightness, it is more economical to transport because it weighs less, so you can save on fuel.

Another economic advantage is that it can be delivered to the customer folded, which also saves space in storage and logistics management. Space is optimized.

Corrugated cardboard allows for interior fittings in various materials. Even in cardboard, which facilitates its recyclability and recovery. And it's still light and protective.

It saves space, because it can be delivered folded and once discarded, it recycles quickly and takes up no storage space.

It also allows the introduction of tracking and traceability elements that control the goods and optimise the flow of material in and out. The incorporation of RFID cards, anti-tip systems, or traffic management information helps companies to better manage their logistics and procurement.

       It is easy to recycle and is a biodegradable material. In addition, the pulp used for industrial corrugated cardboard comes from recycled paper and cardboard, thus avoiding the cutting down of new trees.

Thanks to its easy recyclability, it minimizes the generation of waste.

Not to mention that cardboard is a non-polluting element that is easy to dispose of and recover.
