You then have four options for the type of board to be used in your corrugated packaging. Single-face board is when only one sheet of liner is attached to the corrugated layer. Single-wall is the most standard option.
This consists of a single layer of corrugated medium sandwiched between two liner sheets. Boxes with single-wall board are what you typically receive consumer products and goods in.
To make a box more durable, you can add extra liners and layers of the corrugated medium. Two sheets of corrugated medium and three sheets of liner create a double-wall board. A triple-wall board is created with three layers of corrugated medium between four liner sheets, making it the strongest of all the options. This is typically used to ship industrial parts or heavy consumer goods. If you need your corrugated cardboard box to hold up to stacking pressure, you will want to choose ECT board.

This kind of board is best when you are stacking your boxes on top of each other, such as when they are in a warehouse or on a pallet.

A single wall of corrugated cardboard is made from a fluted corrugated sheet sandwiched between two layers of linerboard usually a kraft outer and test liner as discussed earlier. This multi-layered construction makes corrugated cardboard a rigid and sturdy material suitable to package most products.
From the multiple layers, it also has excellent cushioning properties to protect against impacts and crushing, making it an excellent reason for why you should use corrugated cardboard. Other than the boxes themselves, there are many other uses for corrugated cardboard such as edge and corner protection as well as surface protection in the form of rigid sheets or flexible corrugated rolls. Although a plain brown box can be perfectly functional, a lot of businesses opt for a bit more in the style department when they use corrugated cardboard.
