Market Definition
Containerboard is a type of paperboard utilized in the creation of corrugated cardboard, which consists of two main components: linerboard and corrugated medium (or fluted paper). It is also referred to as corrugated case material (CCM). The two primary types of linerboard are:
- Kraftliner: Made from virgin pulp, known for its strength and durability.
- Testliner: Composed of recycled pulp, offering a more sustainable option.
The corrugated medium can also be categorized into recycled or virgin, sometimes termed semi-chemical medium. Containerboard is produced in paper mills worldwide, playing a crucial role in the packaging industry.
