Volga Medium (high performance fluting)

High performance corrugating medium

Volga Medium is a premium quality product, lightweight yet still high-performing fluting, produced from virgin TMP fibers and selected recycled fibers.

The use of lightweight containerboard in the production of corrugated cardboard allows reducing the specific consumption of components in the terms of a square meter of cardboard.

When switching to lightweight containerboards, corrugated cardboard manufacturers receive a larger surface area:

• 1 tonne 140 gsm containerboard – 7,143 square meters of surface area
• 1 tonne 100 gsm containerboard – 10,000 square meters of surface area
• 1 tonne 80 gsm containerboard – 12,500 square meters of surface area
• 1 tonne 65 gsm containerboard – 15,385 square meters of surface area

Corrugated fiberboard manufacturers are heavily experimenting with packaging characteristics in order to minimize costs while maintaining a sufficient level of consumer properties. The experimental results are focused on reduction in package weight driven by combination of lightweight layers.
