U. S. industry: looking back & ahead, Corrugating International, January 2000, Vol. 2(1)
The U. S. Corrugated and Solid Fiber Boxes Industry enjoyed a fourth consecutive year of significant growth in 1999 as product shipments increased 2.9%. The 1999 increase is in line with trend growth for corrugated product shipments for the past 10 years, even considering the 1.5% decline in 1995. Domestic corrugators enjoyed domestic and foreign demand in 1999, which saw the industry ship a record 405.4 billion sq. ft of finished corrugated boxes, cartons, and shipping containers. Shipments of corrugated products represented just over 99% (403.3 billion sq. ft) of the 1999 industry total, while shipments of solid fiber boxes made up the remainder.
