Corrugated board is available in many different widths with varying paper weights and finishes.
Listed below are the main materials that we work with and a brief description. Before printing, the prime finishes of material are brown, white and mottled (often referred to as oyster).
 |
|
| 'E' Flute |
 |
| This fine fluting is approximately 1.5mm high and gives excellent crush resistance and compression strength. It provides a high quality surface to print upon and is most commonly used in smaller cartons and die-cuts applications. |
| 'B' Flute |
 |
| Probably the most common type of fluting used which is approximately 3mm high. Seen in all types of applications including die-cut and regular cases it gives a good all-round performance. |
| 'C' Flute |
 |
| Coming in at 4mm high it offers greater compression strength than "B" flute thus giving slightly better stacking strength for lighter products. It can be prone to more crushing if used in the wrong application. |
| 'EB' Flute |
 |
| This is a double wall material combining the fine 'E' flute and the commonly used 'B' flute. The results give an excellent performance level in both print finish and impact protection. |
| 'BC' Flute |
 |
| Another double wall material that marries two flute profiles together - 'B' and 'C', both giving excellent all round performances this material is most often seen in shipping cases where a high protection level is required. |
