Corrugated Box Flute Types

Image
Corrugated Flutes are the S shaped waves/arches of a corrugated box that makes up the board. This is called the boards corrugation. Flutes are essentially the reinforcement that make up the board. They run parallel to the depth of the container and give it its rigidity and crushing/stacking strength. As well as providing stacking strength, flutes also provide insulation that protects products from sudden temperature changes. Generally speaking, larger flutes like A & B profile provide greater strength and cushioning, while smaller flute profiles like D & E provide better printability and foldability. B flutes have 42-50 flutes per foot and are 1/8″ thick. They provide the second highest arch size. B flutes provide good stacking strength and crushing resistance. Ideally used for canned goods and displays. C flutes have 39-43 flutes per foot and are 11/64″ thick. They are the medium between A flute and B flute and are very common. C flutes provide good cus...

How to Prevent Rust with VCI Packaging

Image
  As a company selling metal products, one of the last things you need is to find that rust has begun to damage their surfaces. The next stage is corrosion, which can have serious consequences for the quality of the products. If you want to prevent rust, you will need powerful rust-prevention packaging. If you’ve ever seen the effects of rust and corrosion, you’ll know they can cause frustrating problems. However, there are plenty of packaging solutions that can keep those metal surfaces in an excellent state. Check the range of recommended volatile corrosion inhibitor solutions below to prevent corrosion. VCI paper sheets are excellent rust-prevention solutions. They feature vapor corrosion inhibitors combined with kraft paper with a neutral ph. This packaging material works for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and the hard work of cutting the sheets to size has been done for you. You wrap the VCI paper sheets around each metal part or product before placing them in enclosed sh...

Crushed Corrugated Boxes are not a good look.

Image
  To guarantee that items arrive at their destination in top condition, implementing effective, crush-resistant packaging strategies is essential. By taking proactive measures and focusing on the following crucial elements, you can protect shipments against various hazards during transit: Choose High-Quality Boxes: The foundation of your shipment dictates its resilience. Avoid thin cardboard without reinforcement. Instead, select materials for boxes that match the shipment's demands. Material: Corrugated fiberboard is superior to basic cardboard due to its layered structure and durability, handling varying levels of weight and pressure effectively. Structure: For heavy or fragile items, choose double-walled or triple-walled boxes, which offer greater durability and stacking strength than single-walled designs. Special Needs: Consider insulated packaging for temperature-sensitive items or water-resistant coatings for items that may encounter adverse weather conditions. St...
