Open Post #1 Paper Packaging

Kraft Paper
Plastic, metal, corrugated fiberboard (cardboard), wood, and glass are the most popular materials in packaging; another material that has an abundance of use in packaging is paper. The paper-based industry is extremely important in the U.S. economy with annual product sales of about $115 billion and a job count of over 1.3 million. In my Packaging 101 course, I learned how paper is created and used in the packaging industry. The first form of paper is paperboard; the most commonly used types of paperboard for packaging are Clay Coated News Back, Solid Bleached Sulfate, and Solid Unbleached Sulfate. As shown in these visuals, some of the most common types of paper for packaging are Kraft Paper, Glassine Paper, and Tissue Paper.
