Corrugated boxes (also known as old corrugated containers, or OCC) are used to ship products to factories, warehouses, retail stores, offices, and homes. Corrugated boxes usually have a fluted corrugated medium sandwiched between layers of linerboard. The term “corrugated” also refers to cuttings generated from the manufacturing of corrugated containers. Corrugated boxes are often mistakenly referred to as “cardboard” boxes.

A corrugated box is characterized by lightness, firmness, shock absorption, and easy mechanization [13,14]. These characteristics were combined with the high energy absorption of a traditional aluminum honeycomb [15] to put forward the two-way corrugated aluminum honeycomb. A complete hexagon hole was divided into two trapezoid holes that were corrugated and placed in two orthogonal directions. Therefore, this material is called the two-way corrugated aluminium honeycomb, and its structure is shown in Figure 1.
