The process of the formation of cardboard paper packaging
Before paper emerged, humans recorded events by drawing on caves, carving on clay tablets, or later on leather. Paper was invented to replace materials such as stone, wood, tree bark, animal skin, etc., that humans used to write and draw on.
In 105, Ts’ai Lun, a Chinese man, discovered paper. Around 400, the Indians knew how to make paper. After about 500 years, the Abbasid Caliphate people began to use form.
And since then, there have been many places worldwide that have begun to produce and use paper. But it wasn’t until 1690 that the paper industry truly flourished when William Rittenhouse and Nicholas-Louis Robert made the first paper mill in the United States, which improved and introduced continuous production models in 1799.
Paper was invented for writing and drawing to replace stone, wood, bark, and animal skins.
