The corrugated cardboard may be made of recycled paper, kraft paper, or test paper, so the surface is brown or white, and can be coated or semi-coated depending on the application. The corrugated medium is generally made of recycled paper.

The thickness of corrugated cardboard depends on the height of the flutes. The thickness ranges from as thin as 0.5 millimeters to as thick as 15 millimeters or even thicker in some cases.
