1871- American Albert L. Jones received the patent for corrugated cardboard for the first time as packaging material, used to pack the goods to be broken.

1874-In the United States, Oliver Long patented a corrugated cardboard, which he enhanced by putting a liner on one side.

 Corrugated Cardboard in Turkey

Corrugated cardboard with 126 years of history was first produced in our country in 1954, 83 years after its production in the world, in Saka _zmit. DAKO, which is the first establishment belonging to the private sector, started to operate in Istanbul in 1960, then entered BOMSAS in 1966, and 1968 in the sector. Rapid growth in real terms in the sector is seen after 1981. The fact that the first corrugated cardboard boxes were manufactured in America is why Standard Boxes are still called American Boxes today.

The increase in the number of firms entering the sector and the introduction of new investments by the existing firms have increased the capacity and production amounts in the sector in a short time.
