Corrugated box design

Partial overlap box with interlocking slots to temporarily close box

Corrugated box design is the process of matching design factors for corrugated fiberboard (sometimes called corrugated cardboard) or corrugated plastic boxes with the functional physical, processing and end-use requirements. Packaging engineers work to meet the performance requirements of a box while controlling total costs throughout the system. Corrugated boxes are shipping containers used for transport packaging and have important functional and economic considerations.^[1]

In addition to the structural design discussed in this article, printed bar codes, labels, and graphic design are also vital.
