The variety of available materials for packaging production allows you to choose the current option for each product category. Correx – This is an alternative to cardboard boxes. But can it compete with environmentally friendly raw materials: a review of this type of product allows you to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of this solution.
Features of cardboard and core packaging
Lightweight and durable polypropylene has a plastic structure and is resistant to heat, moisture, and mechanical damage. It is used not only to produce boxes, but also sheets and dividers. Confectioners actively use correx for marshmallows, cakes, and other types of sweet desserts due to the following characteristics of the material:
- light weight;
- moisture resistance;
- transparency.
But all these advantages are outweighed by the harm of plastic, especially for the environment. Cardboard structures are preferable: this material does not react with food, and their taste and aroma will remain unchanged even during long-term storage.
What is the difference between these packages?
When comparing materials, it will be useful to analyze key criteria, including:
- Strength level. Cardboard can withstand even significant loads, as well as accidental impacts or falls: it will be deformed, but will remain suitable for further use. And the plastic box will be damaged by mechanical damage, which can lead to damage to the internal contents.
- Protection from external influences. The advantage of packaging made from opaque materials is that during storage or transportation the products will be reliably protected from direct sunlight. Dense material partially compensates for temperature fluctuations. Cream desserts in a plastic container can easily spoil even during short-term transportation.
- Aesthetics. Custom cardboard packaging allows you to choose any design: colors, textures, images or inscriptions. But even without additional decorations, it looks expensive and stylish, emphasizing the natural composition of the contents. But plastic lacks these advantages.
Each of the options is in demand, but when it comes to food or confectionery products, the safety and environmental friendliness of packaging plays an important role in the perception of the product by potential buyers.
What products are the boxes suitable for
The scope of application of cardboard packaging materials is quite wide. Correx – packaging, which is intended for lightweight small-sized products, which explains its active use for the manufacture of food containers, as well as compact containers for sweets, desserts, as well as berries and fruits. But the variations in the use of cardboard boxes are much more diverse. They are suitable for any product categories:
- food;
- cosmetics and perfumes;
- clothing and accessories;
- household appliances and electronics.
They are also used for packaging cakes and other types of desserts. Cardboard boxes for confectionery – this is a practical and rational solution.

Why cardboard boxes are better than Correx
Packaging – it is not just a container for goods. It is the first thing a customer sees when they receive their order and is an important branding element for a company. Therefore, it is so important to choose the right material, focusing on the following characteristics:
- possibility of design personalization;
- adaptability of shapes and sizes to suit a specific request;
- durable and reusable.
Both materials have certain advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between them depends on the specific needs of the business. But when comparing cardboard and correx for cookies or other desserts, it is worth ordering the first option because of its environmental friendliness, variety of post-printing processing methods and accessibility.
