RIBBED KRAFT PAPER

Ribbed kraft paper is a type of paper that has a ribbed or corrugated texture on its surface. It is made from kraft paper, which is a strong and durable paper that is produced using the kraft process, where wood pulp is cooked in a solution of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide.

During the production of ribbed kraft paper, the kraft paper is passed through a corrugating machine that adds a series of parallel ridges or grooves to the surface of the paper. These ridges run perpendicular to the direction of the paper’s fibers, creating a stiff, strong, and cushioning effect.

Ribbed kraft paper is commonly used for packaging and wrapping products that require extra protection during shipping or handling. It is often used to cushion delicate items, such as glassware, electronics, and other fragile products. The ridges in the paper provide an extra layer of protection against impact and shock, helping to prevent damage during transit.

Additionally, ribbed kraft paper can also be used for decorative purposes, such as for creating textured backgrounds in art and craft projects. It can be painted, stamped, or stenciled on to create unique patterns and designs.
