The availability of better and cheap packaging solutions such as flexible plastic packaging and rigid boxes which are also highly flexible is expected to hinder the market growth of folding cartons. A corrugated board is one of the most adaptable packaging materials. It is adaptable to practically any shape and can cover a broad range of objects, from little, fragile things to huge, heavy items. It can be made with excellent crush resistance, high-quality printing, or a reduced profile to save space. To give protective padding to sensitive objects without affecting print quality, the thinner corrugated board can be utilized as an alternative to folding cartons. One of the reasons corrugated packaging is so adaptable is because of the arc-shaped flutes.
