The corrugation of the E-flute is only 1/16 "thick, much thinner than the C-flute mentioned above. In some claims, the F-flute or the wavy B can be used. The F-flute is very thin (even thinner than the E-flute. ) and is used for very small boxes or boxes that require a complicated nozzle cut. Surprisingly, the B flute is thinner than the C flute, but thicker than the E flute. The B flute has a thickness of about 1/8 "and is used for projects. with heavier parts weight.
Corrugated cardboard is generally stored by the factory and defined by colors. Brown, white oyster, white.
White is the most expensive board and most searched for graphic use.
Combinations are available by special order. Oysters on Power or Pale on Power are common. Usually the corrugated part of the corrugated cardboard is Kraft.
Corrugated decoration
Litho Lam: Many customers prefer that their corrugated cardboard boxes have graphics printed on 80 # lithium paper that can be filmed, laminated and mounted on corrugated cardboard. (We call this labeling.) Film lamination seals the print and allows the box hinges to bend without cracking. The label adheres to the corrugated paper before it is punched. The lamination of the film can be glossy or dull (also called dull). A label can be applied to the outside or inside the box (also called lining) or both. The label usually covers the entire box.
Flexographic printing: Imagine a good rubber custom promo boxes and now you have a good idea about flexographic printing. If process graphics with 4 complex colors are not required, flexographic printing may be an alternative to consider. Because flexographic printing is not sophisticated, you can only expect the quality of a 65-line screen. This differs dramatically from the screen quality of 150 lines common in lithographic printing (labeling). The most cost-effective type of flexographic printing is a flood layer (general coverage) of a color. Stock printing plates can be used to apply the color to the board. However, if the graphic or type is required to be invested outside the fixed field, or if you want a positive type or graphic, a custom printed circuit board must be created. Flex charger is priced per Square inch. The more graphics or types, the more expensive.
Silkscreen paintings mix by hand to get as close as possible to a particular color, but that is not an exact science. We have silk prints on many different colored materials, and a combination of hand-blended Pantone colors looks different when placed in non-white colors.
Boxes with facing edges and configuration boxes: while corrugated boxes have "rough edges" where you can see the wave, the turned edges differ because the board is covered with the envelope. Instead of using corrugated cardboard, we use different weights of cardboard. In small quantities, these boxes are handmade. In large quantities machines are used to make boxes. Boxes with flipped edges tend to cost more than corrugated boxes, but they look more finished. As agglomerated cardboard is used, these boxes tend to weigh more than the equivalent corrugated box. Configuration boxes are in the category of rotated border frames.
