Notes to answerer

Asker: thanks Assem -what is the origin of this word - I don't see it in any dictionaries - is it specific to Syria?

34 mins confidence:

Corrugated cardboard boxes

Explanation:
Im not sure Colin, but this term might be slang as suggested and thus, the similarity with "corrugated".

Notes to answerer

Asker: I thought of this because in english we say "Kraft" paper for corrugated cardboard. But these are the thin cardboard boxes you see in Duty Free shops etc.
