Etymology

The term 'corrugated' is derived from the Latin word 'corrugare', which means 'to wrinkle' or 'to contract.' The word entered the English language in the early 19th century. Initially, it was used to describe surfaces that were not flat, highlighting an important characteristic of certain types of materials. By the 20th century, corrugated materials became widely used in construction and packaging due to their ability to dissipate energy, resist deformation, and provide strength without additional weight. The innovation of corrugated cardboard in the 1850s revolutionized shipping, as it offered a lightweight and durable packaging solution. Today, corrugated materials are a staple in various industries, valued for their versatility and efficiency.
