RFC Container Company

Happy Friday Facebook Friends!!! Have a wonderful weekend and try to get out and enjoy as we don't know how long this beautiful weather will last. How much do you know about cardboard?? Also, if you have an interesting tid bit that you would like to share send us a message!!

The first commercially available paperboard box was invented/produced in 1817 in England. This was not the corrugated cardboard we are used to today, but more like a shoebox.

The first commercially available corrugated box was created and produced in the USA in 1895. Until the early 1900's, nearly all shipping was done in wooden crates.

There is actually a real museum dedicated to the cardboard box! It is located in Valréas, France, and is called Musée du Cartonnage et de l'Imprimerie (Museum of the Cardboard Box).

There is a simple cardboard box in the National Toy Hall of Fame. Really! Children have been playing with boxes for as long as they have been around

Cardboard counter displays are low-cost yet most versatile displays for any shop, event or tradeshow. They are cost effective, can be shaped to resemble practically anything, are simple to setup and transport.

In addition RFC strictly adheres to the guidelines set down by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative as well as ALL containerboard is procured through renewable sources or recycled materials.

If you are on the fence about changing your packaging take a look at our website (http://www.rfccontainer.com/) and give us a call and see what we can do for your product to bring the design up to date!!
