In addition to self-adapting packaging, spray-on packaging could also become a reality, even if this may still sound unrealistic from today's perspective. The reality is that corrugated cardboard packaging can already be high-performance items today. It is possible to develop them to be water and moisture resistant and antimicrobial and to track and trace them throughout their journey. The self-healing box is still a long way off, but we need to look to the future to find the next innovations that will help us use materials as sustainably as possible. We will only achieve this with fresh thinking and new ideas. We are already looking for partnerships to accelerate the journey to a circular economy and would love to hear from experts who can support us.\u201c<\/p><p><strong>Wim Wouters<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b14ccfc exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b14ccfc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The history of corrugated board<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0053e1f exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0053e1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To mark the 150th anniversary of corrugated board packaging, DS Smith has produced a review of the development of corrugated board.

The retrospective honours past and present achievements in the race for innovative ideas.<\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>1600<\/strong>: The first inspiration for corrugated board is born. The <strong>frilled collars from the fashion of the 16th century<\/strong>, centuries later, inspired inventors to corrugate paper in order to use it as corrugated cardboard.<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>1871<\/strong>: A first patent. In 1871, the American Albert L. Jones patents machines for manufacturing corrugated cardboard to package glass bottles and becomes the grandfather of the modern corrugated cardboard industry. He initiates the corrugated cardboard revolution that will lead to the development of the material as we know it today.<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>1886<\/strong>: Corrugated cardboard enters the world of brands. In 1886, the jeweller Tiffany &amp; Co. introduces its Tiffany ring setting and develops the patented blue ring packaging. This becomes one of the most recognisable trademarks in history. For fans, the iconic packaging is still a highly coveted object today. However, it is only issued when the ring is purchased.<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>1939<\/strong>The Second World War begins and gas masks in corrugated cardboard packaging are issued throughout Great Britain. It is a legal requirement to carry them with you at all times. This sparks competition between schoolchildren as they make their own modifications to personalise their packaging.<\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2020<\/strong>Many countries are starting to roll out vaccines against the Covid-19 pandemic. The DS Smith team is helping to transport the first vaccines to hospitals and clinics in corrugated cardboard packaging in the UK and around the world.<\/li><\/ol><p><em>Source:\u00a0<\/em><a
