In 1856, the English brothers Edward Healy and Edward Allen invented the corrugated corrugated paper pressed on the paper as the inner lining of the hat to breathe and absorb sweat. In 1871, American Albert Jones invented single-sided corrugated cardboard for packaging glass lampshades and similar fragile items, and obtained the first patent right in the United States. By the end of the 19th century, the United States began to study the use of corrugated cardboard to make packaging and shipping boxes.
In 1920, double corrugated cardboard came out, and its use expanded rapidly. During World War I, corrugated boxes accounted for only 20% of shipping packaging. But during World War II, corrugated boxes accounted for 80% of shipping packaging. Corrugated boxes have now become the most widely used packaging containers in modern commerce and trade, and one of the most important packaging forms used in countries around the world today.
