10 uses of cardboard you didn’t know

We have previously mentioned how important cartonboard has become for all types of companies, regardless of their line of business. This is due to the fact that this material is used to manufacture not only cardboard boxes but also displays that allow the products to be shown in as many places as possible, thus bringing the brand closer to as many buyers as possible.

We also know that cardboard boxes are made for all the uses you can imagine and for any type of product so that each one represents the brand in increasingly ingenious ways. However, today we are not going to talk about these common uses of cardboard but about others that you may not know about or that you may have only heard about once.

CARDBOARD IS NOT ONLY SUITABLE FOR CARDBOARD BOXES.

To begin with, we should mention that it is perfect for packing all types of foodThe container’s innate resistance makes it suitable for carrying liquids such as milk, juices and other liquids, so that you can experiment with the shape of the container to adapt it to your brand’s needs.

Note a word we use: “Resistance” this characteristic of cardboard allows it to be used to reinforce boxes made of this same material when it will carry something quite heavy inside. We are referring precisely to the reinforcements that are placed in the corners of the box either on the outside or inside so as to ensure that it will not have any structural damage related to the weight of the object it protects.

And in this same aspect we can talk about another use of cardboard and this is as dividers inside the boxes, we must remember that it is not possible to make a box exactly to the size of what you want to transport, it would also be too high cost, so you must pack several objects in the same box and to prevent them from hitting and damaging each other, it takes care to make cardboard dividers, first because of its resistance has been shown that they can protect whatever and for its low cost, being the ideal choice.

You may have also seen that cardboard is the ideal material for serving food in fast food restaurants: french fries, pizza, among others, are the foods that have made cardboard the perfect choice. This is because their absorbent capabilities allow them to remove excess grease from food and at the same time they can be recycled and used for other purposes (yes, boxes for example).

Because of its versatility, cardboard is also used to make board games, as its resistance and capacity to absorb the inks printed on it allows it to be used for this purpose. And not only the board, the pieces are also made of this incredible material.

It is also used to make dioramas (scenarios to show mainly action figures or collection figures) because they are low cost and can be cut to give them the required use.

And so we could describe many and varied uses that can be given to this material which, due to its cost, is the one chosen by most companies in the world.
