The term “cardboard box” is commonly misused when referring to a corrugated box. The correct technical term is “corrugated fiberboard carton.”
Cardboard boxes are really chipboard boxes, and used primarily for lightweight products, such as cereal or board games.
Corrugated fiberboard boxes are widely utilized in retail packaging, shipping cartons, product displays and many other applications requiring a lightweight, but sturdy material.
Corrugated board can be created with several different flute profiles. Generally, larger flute profiles deliver greater vertical compression strength and cushioning. Smaller flute profiles provide enhanced structural and graphics capabilities for use in retail packaging.
The five most common flute profiles are:
A-Flute: Appx 33 flutes per foot. Original corrugated flute design.
B-Flute: Appx 47 flutes per foot and measures 1/8″ thick; often for canned goods.
C-Flute: Appx 39 flutes per foot and measures 5/32″ thick; common for shipping cartons.
E-Flute: Appx 90 flutes per foot and measures 1/16″ thick.
F-Flute: Appx 125 flutes per foot and measures 1/32″ thick; for small retail packaging.
Different flute profiles can be combined in one piece of combined board. For example, a triplewall board may contain one layer of A-flute medium with two layers of C-flute medium. Mixing flute profiles allows designers to adjust compression strength, cushioning strength and total thickness of the combined board.
