Corrugated Boxes
Corrugated boxes are used for so many applications and products that we often don't recognize how frequently we encounter them every day. Almost all of the products you buy at the grocery store were shipped in a corrugated box; most of the displays at the movie theater are made of corrugated; the clothes you wear and the shoes on your feet were likely shipped in a corrugated box; many of the parts that are in your car were shipped at least once in a corrugated box. Corrugated is everywhere and because of its versatility, low cost and durability, is an important material for shipping, selling and protecting the products we use every day. As it is recyclable, used corrugated boxes are made back into paper, which is then converted back into more corrugated boxes.
Bates Container began manufacturing corrugated boxes and die-cuts back in 1963, with Warren Bates' innovation and Hardy Sanders' insight. Since that time, Bates has become one of the largest independent corrugated converters in the United States.
