What we make, and how to specify it

Board reference
Grades, flutes and what they are for
A carton is a combination of liners and fluting. The right combination is the cheapest board that survives the journey — not the heaviest one available.
Paper grades held
White-top kraft liner
115 – 125 gsmOuter liner
A white printing surface on a kraft base. Used where print quality carries the brand — beverage trays, food service, retail-facing cases.
Kraft liner
135 – 155 gsmOuter or inner liner
Virgin-fibre liner with the highest strength of the liners held. Specified where stacking load and transit distance are the governing factors.
Test liner
125 – 160 gsmOuter or inner liner
Recycled-fibre liner. The efficient choice for internal distribution and cases that do not need a premium print surface.
Semi-chemical fluting
115 – 150 gsmMedium
The corrugated medium between the liners. Fluting does the work in compression — it is what makes a sheet of paper into a structural box.
Flute profiles
B flute
approx. 3 mmGood crush resistance and a flat printing surface.
The general-purpose flute — cases, trays, pizza boxes, die-cut work.
C flute
approx. 4 mmMore cushioning and higher stacking strength than B.
Shipping cases and palletised distribution where load height matters.
E flute
approx. 1.5 mmFine profile, the best print definition of the three.
Retail-facing and die-cut packaging where the print carries the brand.
BE double wall
combinedTwo mediums bonded between three liners.
Heavy or long-haul loads, and export cases handled more than once.
