Corrugated paper—unique paper art material Corrugated paper—unique paper art material

Corrugated paper is sometimes called corrugated paper. Its biggest feature is that from the side it looks like the tiles on a house in the past. Corrugated paper is often used as packaging material. This is inseparable from his unique attributes. Although corrugated paper is very light, it is extremely strong and can be cut according to your needs during packaging. Moreover, less materials are used in the production of corrugated paper, and the cost of corrugated paper is also relatively low. This characteristic also makes corrugated paper a very good paper art material.

Corrugated paper is not all advantages. Corrugated paper itself also has its own things that it is "fearful of". For example, corrugated paper is very afraid of moisture, especially moisture that encounters water, which can destroy the corrugated paper instantly. At the same time, corrugated paper is also afraid of sharp things. As long as the corrugated paper is opened, it is likely to be destroyed instantly. However, this characteristic also makes it very convenient to use tools such as Utility Knife for cutting in paper art production. Many works will be better if they are made directly from corrugated paper. .


Based on the waveform of corrugated paper, corrugated paper can usually be divided into three categories:


1. V-shaped corrugated paper. V-shaped corrugated paper is characterized by its low cost. Due to its unique V-shaped structure, it can be made using only a small amount of adhesive. But the disadvantage is that it cannot withstand severe impact from the outside world, and it cannot quickly restore the prototype after the impact.


2.U-shaped corrugated paper. Compared with V-shaped corrugated paper, U-shaped corrugated paper is more expensive because it consumes a lot of adhesive. But U-shaped corrugated paper has better ability to withstand external impact. But if you only consider plane pressure, the effect is still not as good as V-shaped corrugated paper.


3.UV shaped corrugated paper. It combines the characteristics of U-shaped corrugated paper and V-shaped corrugated paper. UV-shaped corrugated paper has now been developed. In daily life, what we see more often is UV-shaped corrugated paper.
