In plain English
International Paper is the company behind the cardboard box. It turns trees and recycled old boxes into containerboard at its mills, then folds that board into the corrugated packaging that ships almost everything you buy online or off a shelf. After buying Europe's DS Smith in 2025 and selling off its pulp and printing-paper arms, it is now a focused global sustainable-packaging pure-play.
