E Flute Cardboard

Compared to conventional paperboard, E Flute Cardboard offers a strong, eco-friendly alternative. This material is suitable for delicate items such as cosmetics, fragile instruments and printed retail cartons. It also provides a smooth surface for printing. With a thin profile, E Flute saves space in the box for storage. The board is also resistant to compression and crush. It is also a great choice for point of sale displays.

E Flute Cardboard is available in varying wall thicknesses. Thinner boxes have smaller flute waves that make them sturdier. Thicker boxes have larger flute waves that enable them to stack higher. Aside from its strength and durability, corrugated cardboard also protects your items during transportation.

Several types of cardboard stock are available, but single face and double wall board are the most popular. Both boards have two layers of paper liners on each side of a fluting layer. A single face board is not as durable as other types of corrugated cardboard, but it is often used inside a box to add cushion. The board's flute provides a surface for printing, which is usually done with flexographic or lithographic printing. Traditionally, printing on corrugated cardboard was a weak point in the production process. However, the advent of digital printing has changed this. Unlike previous techniques, digital printing lacks specialized plates, making it ideal for smaller-scale printing jobs. It also allows for direct printing on corrugated flute.

The strength and durability of corrugated cardboard depend on the number of flutes that are used. Boxes with fewer flutes are less able to withstand pressure and are more likely to suffer damage during transportation. They also tend to cost more than those with more flutes. The number of flutes per linear foot depends on the type of flute. Thin E Flute fluting has about 47 flutes per foot, while thicker C and B fluting contain more. B and C fluting are commonly referred to as Twin Cushion, which is ideal for industrial applications. The thickness of C and B fluting is usually 11/64 inches, and the thicker E fluting is usually 1mm to 1.5mm thick.

Aside from its strength and durability, corrugated board is also suitable for branding and packaging. It is ideal for point of sale displays and decorative packaging. The material is also popular for P.O.P. and shipping cartons. The core color of corrugated E flute is kraft brown, which is ideal for printing.

E Flute and B Flute are often used together in the manufacturing of EB twin cushion boxes, which combine the strengths of both materials. The combination of E and B fluting improves the strength and durability of the cardboard. It also provides a smooth surface for print collateral, which is ideal for point of sale displays. It is often used for packaging heavy products. B and C fluting can also be used in combination to provide added strength and durability.

E Flute is also used to make custom E flute corrugated boxes, which are popular for mailing purposes and for retail packaging. They are commonly used in cosmetics, food and beverage packaging, electronic product packaging and shipping cartons.

Introduction To Corrugated Box Packaging

Corrugated is made of two outer linerboard sheets and a fluted sheet. The fluted sheet is sandwiched between two outer sheets. There are many thicknesses and formats for corrugated boxes. Corrugated functions well in supporting heavy or unevenly distributed products in the box.
