Nov 12th, 2013

The Corrugated Packaging Alliance (CPA) announced the launch of its new and improved website at www.corrugated.org. The website provides general information about corrugated packaging for users, buyers, and other general audiences.

Corrugated.org is a centralized online resource for information about corrugated packaging, including the industry and history of the material, its environmental and economical benefits, sustainability and life-cycle information, and use applications. A "members" area provides sponsoring companies (members of the AF&PA, AICC, FBA and TAPPI) with meeting notices and minutes, and industry research.

Improvements to the site include a new search function, a Twitter feed, a layout that is compatible with mobile devices, and aesthetic and navigational enhancements.
