Corrugated Materials, Flutes & Finishes

Deep technical specifications on board weights, fluting calipers, burst testing, and sustainable water-based coatings.

Corrugated Flute Comparison: E-Flute vs. B-Flute

E-Flute (1/16" / 1.6mm)

Featuring 90 flutes per linear foot, E-Flute delivers the smoothest possible print canvas with virtually no washboarding pattern. It is the gold standard for high-end subscription boxes, cosmetics, jewelry, and luxury retail mailers.

Burst Strength: ECT-32 (Edge Crush Test rated at 32 lbs/in)

B-Flute (1/8" / 3.2mm)

Featuring 47 flutes per linear foot, B-Flute provides double the cushioning and vertical stacking strength. Recommended for fragile items, glass bottles, hardware, footwear, and payloads exceeding 10–15 lbs.

Burst Strength: ECT-44 (Edge Crush Test rated at 44 lbs/in)
