Comments from Students (*the comments are reproduced as originally written)
I was surprised because I did not think there were companies that made corrugated packaging, and I had never really paid attention to it before.
I learned that even corrugated packaging, which we use in daily life, is difficult to manufacture and involves all kinds of ingenuity, making it far more sophisticated than I had imagined .
