How much weight can the corrugated board withstand?

We recommend our E flute primarily for product packaging or for shipping packaging with a low shipping weight. We recommend our B flute for large product packaging or for shipping packaging with a medium shipping weight. We recommend our EB flute exclusively for large shipping boxes with a heavy shipping weight. E flute: up to 7 kilos B flute: up to 14 kilos EB flute: up to 32 kilos

Do I have to pay for the punching tool again if I order again?

No, you only need to pay for the punching tool once when you place your first order. This amount will no longer be displayed in the configurator for subsequent orders.

What do I have to consider when creating my print data?

To create the print data for your folding box, you need to follow some instructions. Please note the following information: to the print data instructions

What do I need a protective coating for and what is his function?

A protective coating has various functions. On the one hand, it protects your print image from external influences such as scratches, liquids or dirt, and on the other hand, it ensures an even more beautiful print image with a glossy or optional matte look.

I would like a particularly small shipping box - what do I need to consider?

In our configurator you can configure both very large and very small shipping boxes. All sizes that can be manufactured from a technical point of view can be configured. Depending on the size and material, however, there may be problems in handling and packaging. Above all, we recommend the EB flute exclusively for medium to large cartons.

Can I choose a neutral return address?

We have optimized our order process especially for resellers and offer you the possibility that we send your orders neutral (without our branding on package or delivery bill) to your customers. Simply select "Neutral shipping / delivery bill" in the order process / check-out.

Interesting facts

Cardboard box guide

Corrugated cardboard

B-flute

The B-flute is a type of flute from the fine flute category. Like all corrugated cardboard, it consists of a stable composite of two smooth outer layers (liners) and a corrugated paper layer (flute) in the middle. The corrugation height and corrugation pitch are decisive for the properties: For B-flute, typical values are 2.2–3.1 mm corrugation height and 4.8–6.5 mm corrugation pitch.

E-flute

The E-flute is a type of flute from the category of microflutes and consists of two smooth outer layers (liners) and a corrugated paper layer (flute) in the middle. The corrugation height and corrugation pitch are decisive for the properties of E-flute. Typical values for E-flute are 1.0–1.9 mm for the corrugation height and 2.6–3.5 mm for the corrugation pitch.

EB-flute

EB flute is a double-flute corrugated board consisting of a combination of E-flute and B-flute. Like all corrugated board, it is made up of smooth outer liners and corrugated paper layers – in the case of EB flute, there are typically two flute layers with an intermediate layer in between (making a total of three outer and intermediate layers).
