[edit] Paperboard

This article currently confuses corrugated cardboard with paperboard (the stuff cereal boxes is made out of) and uncorrugated cardboard (posterboard), such as is used for jigsaw puzzles. —Wahoofive (talk) 18:14, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cardboard boxes in Popular Culture

Maybe a section could be added that talks about Various uses of Cardboard Boxes in Popular Culture.

The Most Prevalent in the Famous Metal Gear Solid Series where it is not only used as a disguise but has also become sort of a joke in the game where Snake has said "It was Like I was Meant to be in the Box" or "Love your Box" something like that... —dady5000 (talk) 18:50, 12th May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Homeless people

In the article it says "Living in a cardboard box is stereotypically associated with homelessness." I don't really know what stereotypically means but I've heard some people really live in boxes. --Taida 03:32, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

See stereotype. —Bkell (talk) 04:04, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed essay

I removed the following section from the article, as it seemed like an essay rather than a valid encyclopedia section (plus it was POV and belongs in the cardboard article, not cardboard box). It was written by 216.23.87.5 (talk • contribs • WHOIS). -- Powers T 14:23, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Its "CORRUGATED" NOT "CARDBOARD"

The public typically calls a corrugated box a "cardboard" box. Manufacturers of corrugated products do not like this reference. Within the industry, the material is known as "corrugated". The difference is that corrugated board is made of one(or more) layer of corrugated(wavy) paper bonded between two (or more) layers of flat paper, cardboard does not have the "corrugated" inner layer. Corrugated board is stiffer and more suitable for shipping containers and protecting its contents. Cardboard is better suited for printing and is used for cereal boxes and other similar light weight consumer packaging. Corrugated board is manufactured in varying strengths and thicknesses. If there is only one corrugated layer it is referred to as singlewall corrugated, if there are two corrugated layers it is referred to as "doublewall", three layers = triplewall, etc. etc.
