The Different Types Of Corrugated Liners
Many types of corrugated packaging are identical to each other. However, they are made from different materials. The type of corrugated inserts used to produce a corrugated package can significantly affect its properties. Here are the common types of corrugated liners used in making corrugated packaging.
- Kraft Liners
- Test Liners
- Chip Liners
Kraft Liners
Kraft liners are one of the most used corrugated liners for making corrugated materials. They consist of about 70% to 80% virgin chemical pulp fiber, making them very strong and stiff. Based on this, Kraft liners are considered the top material grade for making corrugated materials.
Test Liners
Test liners are another type of corrugated insert used for making corrugated packaging materials. They are not as strong as Kraft liners because they have a higher recycled fiber content. But they are still effective for making durable corrugated packaging materials.
Chip Liners
Chip liners are corrugated cardboard inserts mostly made of uncontrolled recycled materials. They are not as common as the Test or Kraft liners. They are also not as high in quality as the other two types of liners. |
