Unlined corrugated paper consists of the fluted layer only and is flexible.
Unlined corrugated paper is usually used for protecting delicate materials during shipping or for decoration.

Decorative unlined corrugated paper comes in many bright colors and is most commonly found bordering the bulletin boards of institutions like schools and hospitals.
