for shipping, storage & retail
what is corrugated packaging?
Corrugated packaging is a paper-based packaging material made from a fluted inner layer sandwiched between flat linerboards. This structure creates strength, cushioning, and durability, making corrugated packaging ideal for protecting products during storage, handling, and shipping.
corrugated construction explained
Corrugated packaging performance is driven by its construction. The combination of linerboard and fluted material determines strength, cushioning, and stacking ability, allowing corrugated packaging to be tailored for different products and shipping environments.
linerboard
Linerboard forms the flat outer surfaces of corrugated packaging. It provides structure, printability, and surface protection, making it essential for both durability and branding.
fluted medium
The fluted medium is the wavy paper layer between linerboards. Its arched structure absorbs impact and resists compression, helping protect products during handling and transportation.
Together, these layers create a lightweight yet strong material designed to withstand real-world distribution demands.
flute profiles & Performance
Different flute profiles affect how corrugated packaging performs. Common options include:
a-flute
Provides excellent cushioning and impact protection, making it suitable for fragile or heavier items.
b-flute
โOffers strong stacking strength and a flatter surface, often used for retail-ready packaging and trays.
c-flute
Balances cushioning and stacking performance, making it one of the most widely used flute profiles for shipping boxes.
double-wall & heavy-duty construction
Uses multiple fluted layers for added strength, ideal for heavier products or longer shipping distances.
SINGLE-WALL VS MULTI-WALL CORRUGATED
SINGLE-WALL CORRUGATED
Features one layer of fluting between two linerboards. Commonly used for standard shipping cartons and retail packaging.
DOUBLE-WALL CORRUGATED
Includes two fluted layers and three linerboards, offering increased strength and load resistance.
TRIPLE-WALL CORRUGATED
Designed for industrial or bulk applications where maximum durability is required.
WHY CONSTRUCTION MATTERS
Corrugated construction directly impacts:
Product protection during transit
Stacking strength in storage and warehousing
Shipping efficiency and material use
Overall packaging performance and reliability
โ
Choosing the right combination of materials and flute profiles helps ensure packaging that protects your product without unnecessary cost or excess material.
