Using Corrugated
Corrugated is the correct term to use for the material typically used by most DI teams. Corrugated is the material that appliance boxes are constructed with. Most teams use the term cardboard for this material. Cardboard is what your cereal box is made of. I make this distinction because many years ago we contacted a company that makes boxes and asked if they could donate a few sheets of large cardboard for our team to use. They pointed out that they do not make cardboard but would be more than happy to donate some corrugated to us. Since they seemed sensitive to this we have been very careful to use their preferred name when we have called them again.
