Although commonly used interchangeably by people outside the box industry, cardboard boxes are not the same as corrugated boxes. Cardboard boxes are made of a variety of pulp paper. For example, stiff chipboard is typically used to make a shoe box. Thinner chipboard is used in folding cartons such as a toothpaste or cereal box. Both of these are cardboard boxes.
Corrugated boxes are stronger. They are made of a combination of flat linerboard glued to a fluted medium. Both the linerboard and the fluted board are made of sturdy kraft paper called containerboard. This is the same kraft paper used in grocery bags.
Corrugated boxes can be used as shipping boxes that carry multiple cardboard boxes. Cardboard boxes are not strong enough to be shipped by themselves. They need to be packed in corrugated shipping boxes.
