Custom corrugated packaging solutions for industrial shipping and retail display. Complete guide to flute types, printing, and structural design.

Corrugated Packaging for Every Application

Custom corrugated packaging spans from basic shipping containers to high-graphic retail displays. Understanding the options helps you specify the right solution.

Flute Selection Guide

A Flute (4.7mm): Maximum cushioning for heavy and fragile products. B Flute (2.5mm): Best flat crush resistance for retail and die-cut packaging. C Flute (3.6mm): Most common type, balanced performance for general shipping. E Flute (1.2mm): Thin and smooth for premium retail and cosmetic packaging.

Printing Options

Flexographic printing for cost-effective 1-3 color designs. Litho lamination for photorealistic quality on retail displays. Digital printing for short runs without plate costs.

E-Commerce vs Retail

E-commerce packaging prioritizes product protection during single-parcel shipping and dimensional weight optimization. Retail packaging prioritizes shelf appeal, graphic quality, and easy-to-open consumer features.

Sustainability Profile

Corrugated is the most recycled packaging material with 90%+ recovery rates in developed markets. Made from 70-100% recycled content. Fully biodegradable and compostable.
