What Makes Strong Corrugated Board for Cat Furniture?

The Kitty Balou Chaise

Corrugated cardboard consists of three layers:

1. Outer liner

2. Fluted middle layer

3. Inner liner

Strength depends on:

• Flute type (B-flute, C-flute, etc.)

• Paper weight (gsm)

• Compression resistance

• Bonding process

Flute Structure Matters

Tighter flute spacing generally increases crush resistance.

Higher flute density can improve:

• Structural rigidity

• Scratch resistance

• Load-bearing capacity

Liner Paper Quality

Stronger outer liners:

• Reduce tearing

• Maintain edge integrity

• Improve overall lifespan

Pressing and Assembly

Mechanical pressing during bonding:

• Strengthens adhesive contact

• Reduces separation

• Improves uniformity

• 
  

These technical elements directly impact how long scratch furniture lasts.
