EB-flute – The durable and versatile combination

At Labelprint24, our cardboard boxes are made from environmentally friendly corrugated cardboard, produced through paper processing. Corrugated cardboard combines "air" and paper, offering ecological and economic benefits. The corrugation process gives the material exceptional stability: by gluing at least one corrugated web to one or two smooth paper webs, we create different types of corrugated board.

  • Single-sided corrugated board: one corrugated web glued to one or two smooth webs.
  • Single-wall corrugated board: a corrugated web between two smooth webs, providing a balanced mix of strength and printability.
  • Multi-layer boards: multiple layers of smooth and corrugated webs stacked for higher stability and load capacity.

The more layers, the stronger and more load-bearing the cardboard becomes. Thanks to its excellent cushioning properties and high load capacity, corrugated cardboard ensures your products are safely protected during transport and storage.

Characteristics of the EB-flute

Waves in corrugated cardboard are produced in various sizes, determined by wave pitch (t) and wave height (h). These create different wave types, ranging from fine, to medium, to coarse waves.

  • The E-wave is known as the finest or microwave, with a wave pitch of 2.6 to 3.5 mm and a wave height of 1.0 to 1.9 mm. It offers a smooth surface ideal for detailed print work.
  • The B-wave is a fine wave with a wave pitch of 4.8 to 6.5 mm and a wave height of 2.2 to 3.1 mm. It provides good stability while remaining easy to print on.

Larger and higher waves, such as those with increased pitch and height, are suitable for heavier goods and merchandise. Combining different wave types is also possible—for example, pairing E- and B-flutes creates EB-flute, a double-flute corrugated board that balances strength and printability.

EB-flute structure

The EB-flute, also known as double flute, is the most widely used flute combination. It features two layers of flute (E- and B-flute) glued together with an intermediate wall. The outer layer is E-flute, chosen for its excellent printability, while the overall structure combines the strengths of both flutes: an increased load capacity of up to 30 kg and a smooth, flat surface ideal for high-quality printing.

At Labelprint24, our EB-flute with a thickness of 4.5 mm is the strongest option for your packaging. Beyond its visual appeal, the corrugated cardboard offers excellent protection against external influences such as scratches, knocks, dirt, moisture, and UV radiation. Thanks to its combination of good printing quality and high load capacity, EB-flute cartons are perfect for packaging heavy goods like cylinder heads, guitar amplifiers, televisions, and more. They are also suitable for transport, warehouse storage, and shipping.

Advantages of the EB-flute

The EB-flute combines the strength of B-flute with the excellent printability of E-flute, making it a highly durable and hard-wearing solution for various applications. The outer E-flute provides an optimal surface for printing, helping your packaging's marketing impact at the point of sale.

Thanks to its high load-bearing capacity, EB-corrugated cartons are also ideal as moving boxes—offering strength and protection without adding unnecessary weight.

Eco-friendly and sustainable corrugated board

Corrugated board is an exceptionally environmentally friendly packaging material. Its production is resource-saving and energy-efficient, as the paper used is sourced from renewable raw materials obtained from sustainably managed forests. These forests are maintained in a way that ensures the tree population in Europe is steadily increasing, with minimal trees felled for production. The primary raw material is made from broken and thinned wood from forest maintenance activities.

Approximately 80 percent of annual corrugated board production consists of recycled material. After removing chemicals, impregnations, and adhesives, the cardboard can be almost entirely recycled, making it very sustainable.

The combination of environmental friendliness, stability, and lightweight design makes corrugated board a simple yet ingenious packaging solution.
