按紙質不同，有瓦楞紙箱、單層紙板箱等。紙箱常用的有三層、五層，七層使用較少，各層分為里紙、瓦楞紙、芯紙、面紙，面紙有茶板紙、牛皮紙，芯紙用瓦楞紙，各種紙的顏色和手感都不一樣，不同廠家生產的紙(顏色、手感)也不一樣。不同波紋形狀的瓦楞，粘結成的瓦楞紙板的功能也有所不同。即使使用同樣質量的面紙和里紙，由于楞形的差異，構成的瓦楞紙板的性能也有一定區別。它們的技術指標和要求見表一。A型楞制成的瓦楞紙板具有較好的緩沖性，富有一定的彈性，C型楞較A型楞次之。但挺度和抗沖擊性優于A型楞;B型楞排列密度大，制成的瓦楞紙板表面平整，承壓力高，適于印刷;E型楞由于薄而密，更呈現了它的剛強度。
According to the paper quality, there are corrugated cardboard boxes, single-layer cardboard boxes and so on. There are three or five layers commonly used in cartons. Seven layers are seldom used. Each layer is divided into lining paper, corrugated paper, core paper and facial paper. Face paper has tea board paper, kraft paper and corrugated paper for core paper. The color and handle of all kinds of paper are different, and the paper produced by different manufacturers (color, handle) is also different. Corrugated cardboard with different corrugated shapes has different functions. Even with the same quality of face paper and lining paper, the performance of the corrugated board is different due to the difference of the corrugated shape. Their technical indicators and requirements are shown in Table 1. Corrugated cardboard made of type A corrugated board has better cushioning property and certain elasticity, followed by type C corrugated board and type A corrugated board. But stiffness and impact resistance are better than A-type corrugates; B-type corrugates are arranged densely, the surface of corrugated cardboard is flat, the pressure is high, and it is suitable for printing; E-type corrugates show its rigidity and strength because of its thin and dense.
在生產和制造瓦楞紙箱時，一般按紙箱的箱型來進行區分。
When producing and manufacturing corrugated cartons, they are generally distinguished according to the type of cartons.
瓦楞紙箱的箱型結構，在上普遍采用由歐洲瓦楞紙箱制造商聯合會(FEFCO)和瑞士紙板協會(ASSCO)聯合制定的紙箱箱型標準。這一標準經瓦楞紙板協會批準在間通用。按照紙箱箱型標準，紙箱結構可分為基礎型和組合型兩大類。
The box structure of corrugated cartons is generally adopted in the international standard of international carton type developed jointly by the European Federation of Corrugated Carton Manufacturers (FEFCO) and the Swiss Cardboard Association (ASSCO). This standard has been approved by the International Corrugated Board Association for international use. According to the international standard of carton type, carton structure can be divided into two categories: basic type and combination type.
基礎型即基本箱型，在標準中有圖例可查，一般用四位數字表示，前兩位表示箱型種類，後兩位表示同一箱型種類中不同的紙箱式樣。例如：02表示開槽型紙箱;03表示套合型紙箱等。而組合型是基礎型的組合，即由兩種以上的基本箱型所組成，用多組四位數字或代號來表示。例如，一個紙箱的上搖蓋可以用0204型，下搖蓋用0215型。
The basic type is the basic type of box. There are legends in the standard. Generally, it is expressed by four digits. The first two represent the type of box, and the second two represent the different types of carton in the same type of box. For example: 02 for slotted cartons; 03 for nested cartons, etc. The combination type is the combination of the basic type, that is, composed of more than two basic box types, expressed by multiple groups of four digits or codes. For example, the top cover of a carton can be 0204 and the bottom cover 0215.
隨著精細商品的流行，白板紙的紙箱越來越多，而這一行業更多的和印刷越來越緊密，同時，也推動了計算機平面設計的發展。
With the popularity of fine commodities, more and more cartons are made of white board, which is more and more closely related to printing. At the same time, it also promotes the development of computer graphic design.
的標準GB6543-86參考箱型標準系列規定了運輸包裝用單瓦楞紙箱和雙瓦楞紙箱的基本箱型。
China's national standard GB6543-86 refers to the international box type standard series, which stipulates the basic box types of single and double corrugated cartons for transport and packaging.
不過，上個世紀80年代後期，隨著流通渠道和巿場銷售形式的變化，涌現出了一批結構新穎的非標準瓦楞紙箱，并且，伴隨著每一種新結構的誕生，幾乎都有一套與之相對應的全自動包裝系統或包裝設備問世，極大地豐富了紙箱的應用巿場。
However, in the late 1980s, with the change of distribution channels and market sales forms, a number of non-standard corrugated cartons with novel structures emerged. With the birth of each new structure, almost a corresponding full-automatic packaging system or packaging equipment came out, which greatly enriched the application market of cartons.
