Our Industry

Corrugated packaging and displays is a $30.8 billion a year industry that is vital to U.S. distribution systems. Corrugated is the most frequently used shipping material because it is cost-effective, lightweight, functional and versatile. Over 90% of all products in North America are delivered or displayed in corrugated packaging at some point in their life cycle.

Corrugated packaging and displays is a "sustainable" industry. Corrugated is the most recovered form of packaging, with 93% of all containers produced being reclaimed for recycling. It is also a green industry. The forest products industry plants twice as many trees as are harvested on an annual basis.

There are over 1,155 corrugated manufacturing and design facilities promoting continuous innovation, competition and providing jobs and benefits to more than 80,000 employees in nearly 1,000 cities and towns through the United States.
