Cartons by load capacity at Labelprint24
Types of corrugated board and their applications
Corrugated board is categorised into different categories based on its intended use. The two most important factors when choosing a corrugated cardboard are its printability and load-bearing capacity. Depending on your specific requirements we offer different types of corrugated board, primarily divided into two classes: single wall and double wall corrugated board.
Single wall corrugated board
A corrugated sheet is glued between two smooth paperboard sheets, which serve as the outer and inner layers of the construction. These layers help maintain the structure of the corrugated sheet in the middle. This design is the main reason why corrugated board has such a high load-bearing capacity while remaining lightweight.
The larger the waves and the wider the gaps between them—known as "wave height" and "wave pitch"—the greater the load bearing capacity. These spaces create air cushions that act as buffers, protecting the contents from pressure, shocks and falls. However, increasing wave size and gaps can reduce the surface’s evenness, which makes printing on larger flutes and wider gaps more challenging.
Double wall corrugated board
This material consists of two single wall corrugated board sheets glued to an intermediate layer of board. Typically, corrugated cardboard with a high load-bearing capacity is used as the inner surface, while orrugated cardboard with a flat surface for printing is used for the outside. By combining two fluted layers, a new product is created that offers both exceptional load-bearing capacity and printability.
Choosing the right carton based on load capacity
Products vary in format and weight, making it practical to categorise cartons according to their load capacity for both cost-effective and safe transport and storage. Generally, more resistant and stable cartons tend to be more expensive - therefore, it makes little sense to use a high-capacity box of up to 30 kg for delicate items like handkerchiefs, or a cheaper carton with a 10 kg capacity for heavier items such as a hi-fi system.
The basic prerequisite for not exceeding the maximum load capacity is always the even weight distribution of the products within the box. The heavier the goods are, the more the use of additional filling material is recommended. This not only ensures an even load, but also fixes the products inside the box.
Cartons with a load capacity of up to 10kg
This packaging is made from single wall corrugated board of the "E-flute" type, also known as "microwave." It is ideally suited for light goods such as coffee, tea, and other food items, as well as model kits or headphones. Despite its low load capacity, it provides excellent protection for items weighing up to 10 kg, ensuring safe and cost-efficient transport and storage.
Cartons with a load capacity of up to 20kg
For medium-weight items like bottle containers, musical equipment, cast iron cookware, and small dumbbell sets - boxes with a load capacity of up to 20 kg are ideal. At Labelprint24, we produce these variants using B-flute, a single flute type also known as fine flute. Its strength ensures that products do not slip through the bottom or cause the packaging to bend, maintaining stability for safe and efficient storage.
Cartons with a load capacity of up to 30kg
If your products include machine parts, large televisions, or professional speakers, our boxes with a load capacity of up to 30 kg are the perfect choice. These are made from double flute corrugated board, specifically EB-flute, which combines E-flute and B-flute layers. The two types of corrugated are bonded with a smooth intermediate layer. This design offers exceptional robustness and printability — with the fine, smooth E-flute serving as the outer wall, while the more stable B-flute forms the inner layer. As a result, cartons with EB-flute are ideal for aesthetic and durable product packaging that can protect heavier goods.
Advantages of differentiating by load capacity
Differentiating cartons according to their load-bearing capacities offers several benefits:
Protective function
Selecting your board based on it's load capacity helps provide the optimum protection for your products. For lightweight, non-fragile items, single flute cardboard is typically the most cost-effective and suitable option. Known as fine flutes, they have a flute height of 3.0 mm and a pitch of 4.8 mm. The load-bearing capacity reaches up to 10 kg with E-flute and 20 kg with B-flute, provided the weight is evenly distributed - ensuring adequate protection for your contents. However, because of the small air cushions and fine flute structure, this type of board offers less protection against pressure or falls compared to larger flutes. For heavier or more fragile goods, we would recommend double flute EB corrugated board with a maximum load capacity of up to 30 kg.
Storage
Cartons are typically stored in stacks, and their load capacity directly influences how well they can be stacked and how much pressure they can withstand. From a logistical perspective, it is sensible to differentiate cartons based on their load-bearing capacity. Choosing a carton with too low a load capacity can result in the bottom of the stack breaking when lifted, or cartons stacked beneath to fail under the weight of the upper ones. This can lead to damage, delays, and additional costs. Properly selecting cartons according to their load capacity helps ensure safe, efficient storage and transportation.
Costs
Cost efficiency is essential for every company and must be continuously optimised. In logistics, it’s important to evaluate whether the choice of product or shipping cartons aligns with your actual load requirements, or if there is potential for savings. Selecting oversized cartons with higher load capacities than necessary for lightweight or robust goods can lead to significant costs overtime. Therefore, it is crucial to precisely calculate the minimum required load capacity of your cartons to ensure optimal protection, storage, and cost management.
Diverse carton selections at Labelprint24
At Labelprint24, you will find a wide variety of cartons with different load capacities, each determined by the selected material. For all models, you have the choice between E-, B- and EB-flute options.
Classic folding box with tuck-in flap
The folding box with tuck-in flap is a classic in product packaging, known for its easy handling and suitability for automatic filling. It is commonly used for food products such as noodles or cornflakes. At Labelprint24, you can also select this design with offset flaps (FEFCO 0211) or with opposing flaps (FEFCO 0211).
Hinged lid box for premium products
Our hinged lid box is even more user-friendly thanks to the easy-to-open hinged lid, making it especially popular with customers. This enhances the unboxing experience, which can be further personalised by fully printing the inside of the box's lid. It is ideal for high-value items such as cosmetics or jewellery.
Sturdy FEFCO 0215 folding box with semi-automatic base
Thanks to its design, the FEFCO 0215 folding box with a semi-automatic base is perfectly suited to particularly heavy goods. With a user-friendly design, the base is securely plugged together and thus offers excellent stability. This model is commonly used as packaging for spirits and other heavy products.
Automatic base folding box (FEFCO 0713)
The folding box with an automatic base, type FEFCO 0713, is similar in design but features a pre-glued bottom that automatically assembles when unfolded. It offers the same stability as the semi-automatic base model but is even easier to handle.
E-commerce shipping carton with automatic base
Our shipping carton with an automatic base and adhesive strip is particularlu suited to e-commerce. It is sealed prior to dispatch using the pre-applied adhesive, and the customer can very simply tear along the perforated line to open.
Our corrugated board types
We offer a selection of different types of corrugated board for our boxes, varying in resilience and also printability.
E-flute (single wall corrugated board)
This type of corrugated board belongs to the microwave class. Its relatively low flute height of 1.5 mm and narrow flute pitch of 3.0 mm allow it to accommodate goods weighing up to 10 kg. These properties also result in a very smooth and flat surface, making it ideal for high-quality printing. As a result, this material is perfectly suited for packaging light and delicate items.
B flute (single flute board)
This material belongs to the fine flute class. With a flute height of 3.0 mm—twice the size of E-flute—and a flute pitch of 4.8 mm, it creates larger air cushions, resulting in increased stability and a higher load capacity of up to 20 kg. Although the surface is slightly less even than the E-flute's, it still allows for excellent printing quality, making it suitable for packaging heavier or more robust products.
EB flute (double wall corrugated board)
This is a combination of E and B flute corrugated boards joined together with an intermediate layer to form a unified unit. The B-flute, with its greater air cushion size, provides increased stability and as the inner layer, while the E-flute offers a smooth, highly printable outer surface.
With a combined flute height of 4.5 mm and a flute pitch of 4.8 mm, this creates a carton capable of supporting up to 30 kg with even weight distribution. The EB flute’s excellent printability makes it suitable not only for shipping packaging but also for high-quality product packaging for heavy and fragile items.
Diverse paper types for corrugated board
We utilise various types of paper in our corrugated board production, which can be differentiated according to the desired strength, cost considerations, and intended application.
Bogus paper
Bogus paper is a lightweight liner paper with a grammage of up to 140 g/m². Typically produced from recycled paper, it is mainly used as an intermediate liner for double-wall corrugated board.
Testliner paper
Tesliner paper is also mainly produced from recycled paper, but additionally from corrugated board scrap, this type of paper is multi-layered and has a grammage of up to 200 g/m².
Kraft liner paper
Unlike the previously mentioned materials, kraftliner typically contains a high proportion of virgin fibres, giving it excellent stability. Virgin fibres are longer than recycled fibres, allowing them to interlock stronger. With a grammage of up to 400 g/m², kraftliner is mainly used for packaging very heavy goods. Additionally, the high virgin fibre content enables better adhesion of packaging tapes. Kraftliner paper is also relatively easier to print on compared to other materials.
