Eco-friendly corrugated board at Labelprint24
At Labelprint24, you can choose from environmentally friendly raw materials such as corrugated cardboard for your boxes. Corrugated board is made through paper production, consisting of at least one corrugated (fluted) paper web combined with at least one smooth paper web. The corrugations give the material its strength and durability.
There are various types of corrugated board:
- Single face corrugated board features one corrugated web glued to one smooth web.
- Single-wall corrugated board has a layer of corrugated web sandwiched between two smooth webs, making it stronger.
- Double or triple flute corrugated boards have multiple paper webs glued together for increased thickness and load capacity.
Flutes are produced in different sizes, defined by the flute pitch (t) and flute height (h), which determine the flute type. At Labelprint24, we offer various flute types, including E-flute, B-flute, and EB-flute - tailored to your specific packaging needs.
Characteristics of the B-flute
The B-flute is a fine flute with a pitch of 4.8 to 6.5 millimetres and a flute height of 2.2 to 3.1 millimetres. It is slightly stronger and more robust than the E-flute, making it suitable for smaller products up to approximately 20 kg. Its smaller pitch also makes it easier to print on compared to C-flute.
B-flute can be combined with other flute types to produce double or triple flute corrugated board. At Labelprint24, you can order boxes made from B-flute corrugated board—perfect for attractive point-of-sale displays as well as secure shipping.
Advantages of B-flute
The B-flute is nearly twice as thick as the E-flute, yet it maintains a relatively smooth surface that allows for good printing. It offers a load capacity of up to approximately 20 kg, making it highly stable while still remaining flexible and foldable. Due to its properties, B-flute is often used as a filling material or for wrapping products inside larger boxes, ensuring safe delivery and storage of your goods.
EB-flute – double-flute for strength and printability
The EB-flute combines an E-flute and a B-flute, creating a double-flute corrugated board. This structure features five paper webs: three smooth webs and two fluted webs. The outer layers are made of E-flute, which provides an excellent surface for high-quality printing, ensuring your branding and graphics stand out. The inner layer is made of B-flute, offering increased stability and a high load capacity of up to 30 kg.
This combination results in a both durable and printable material, ideal for aesthetic packaging that is also protective. At Labelprint24, you can get EB-flute cartons tailored to your needs.
