Single face
One liner and one corrugated medium. A flexible construction used for rolls and wrapping applications.
Materials & construction
Know what goes
into the board.
A carton is more than its outer dimensions. Paper selection and board construction must be considered alongside the contents, handling, and storage conditions.
Board construction
Single face.
Single wall. Double wall.
The ply count describes paper layers. It does not, by itself, establish the load capacity of a finished carton.
3-ply · Single wall
Two liners with one corrugated medium between them. Available with a specified flute profile.
5-ply · Double wall
Three liners with two corrugated media. BE combines B and E flutes; BC combines B and C flutes.
Construction drawings are schematic, not to scale.
Flute profiles
Different profiles.
A complete specification.
Choose a starting point below. Actual performance depends on the entire board and box specification, not the flute letter alone.
E
Single wall · 3-ply
E flute
A fine flute profile, often considered for compact cartons and printed presentation packaging. The selected paper grades and finished construction still need to suit the application.
Paper options
The surface and
the structure.
Available material options include kraft paper, white-top paper, testliner, and fluting paper. The exact grade is confirmed for each requirement.
Kraft paper
A familiar brown-paper appearance. Specify the grade and construction required for the application.
White top
A white outer face for printed or clean presentation requirements. Surface and print suitability are confirmed together.
Testliner
A liner-paper option for corrugated construction. The required grade and grammage form part of the specification.
Fluting paper
The paper formed into the waved medium inside corrugated board.
Specification questions
Before choosing a board.
What is the packed weight?
Provide the weight of the complete packed carton, not only the individual product. Include any dividers or inserts.
How will the cartons be stacked and transported?
Describe stacking height, pallet use, handling, and the delivery route. Conditions influence the required construction.
Will moisture or direct food contact be involved?
State the expected conditions. Material suitability and relevant documentation must be checked against the actual application.
Is an existing sample or drawing available?
A sample, internal dimensions, or approved structural drawing helps define the requirement. Illustrative images are not a substitute for a production specification.
