Corrugated Cardboard Overview

Meiyastand leverages the strength, lightness, and eco‑friendliness of corrugated cardboard—formed by bonding a fluted medium between linerboards—to create custom display stands. Through precise CAD‑driven die‑lining and high‑speed corrugation, boards are cut, creased, and glued into rigid single‑, double‑, or triple‑wall panels. These components slot together into sturdy, tool‑free assemblies that ship flat for cost‑ and space‑efficient transport. Once on site, the stands unfold into robust, recyclable fixtures that combine modern minimalism with exceptional load‑bearing performance.

Corrugated cardboard is a composite board formed by gluing a fluted corrugating medium between two flat linerboards. The fluted layer creates a series of arches that give the material its signature strength, rigidity, and cushioning properties—all while keeping it remarkably lightweight. First invented in the late 19th century, corrugated cardboard has evolved into the packaging industry’s workhorse thanks to its versatility and sustainability.

Types & Specifications

  • Single‑Face: One linerboard glued to one fluted medium; used for lightweight protective wraps or cushioning pads.
  • Three‑Layer (Single‑Wall): The most common form, with one fluted medium between two linerboards. Flute profiles include five standard types—A, B, C, E, and F—each optimized for different stacking strength and printing fidelity.
  • Multi‑Wall: By alternating additional fluted mediums and linerboards, you can create five‑layer (double‑wall), seven‑layer (triple‑wall), or even eleven‑layer boards for heavy‑duty packaging and high‑load applications.

Key Advantages

  • High Strength‐to‐Weight Ratio: The corrugated structure distributes loads and resists crushing, yet remains far lighter than wood or plastic alternatives.
  • Cost‑Effective: Manufactured from abundant paper pulp, corrugated cardboard is among the most economical packaging materials per square meter.
  • Easy Customization: It can be die‑cut, creased, folded, and printed to accommodate complex shapes and vibrant graphics.
  • Excellent Shock Absorption: The arches of the flute layer absorb impacts, protecting fragile contents during transit.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Over 80% of corrugated cardboard is recycled or recyclable, aligning with green‑packaging initiatives worldwide.

Application in Meiyastand Display Stand Production

Design & Prototyping

  • Meiyastand’s engineers start with precise CAD sketches and 3D digital mock‑ups.
  • Die‑line templates are generated for each panel, ensuring that every corrugated piece will fold and interlock perfectly.
  • Automated Production

  • High‑speed corrugators create linerboard and flute combinations tailored to required strength (often double‑ or triple‑wall for heavy displays).
  • CNC die‑cutters and rotary slotters trim and crease sheets into panels, tabs, and base supports.
  • Gluing lines bond liners to flutes, producing rigid boards that meet tight tolerances.
  • Assembly & Finishing

  • Individual components are slot‑fitted and adhesively reinforced into five‑ or seven‑layer sandwich constructions.
  • The result is a freestanding display stand that combines load‑bearing capacity with elegant minimalism.
  • Flat‑Pack Shipping & On‑Site Setup

  • To optimize freight efficiency, Meiyastand ships components flat‑packed. The natural crush‑resistance of corrugated cardboard prevents deformation during transit.
  • At point of use, staff or end‑customers assemble stands in minutes—no tools required—delivering a sturdy, eco‑friendly fixture ready for merchandising.
  • By harnessing corrugated cardboard’s unique structural and sustainable properties, Meiyastand delivers display solutions that are strong, lightweight, and recyclable—perfectly aligned with modern retail’s demands for performance and environmental responsibility.
