Corrugated Trays
Corrugated Trays are basically trays to hold other objects. They are advantageous when product
visibility and easy handling are of prime importance. Ideal for: food and beverage industry products
such as bottled water, soft drinks, snack foods, and bulk packaged processed foods.
Screen Print
Another way of applying graphic intensive images directly to the outer surface of the corrugated
package.
This process is most commonly used for POP displays and retail packaging applications, and can be
more cost effective is short run quantities. Size limitations are larger than label laminate, and colour
combinations greater than 4 are possible.
Litho Laminate
Provides a similar finished product as label laminate, but requires much higher minimum runs (typically
10-20K).
The printed surface is actually part of the packaging material, as opposed to label laminate which is
added manually.
Preprint
Providing a similar finished product to Flexo process, this process involves the client purchasing pre
printed rolls of paper that are used in manufacturing linerboard.
It requires very high volume runs, and a significant upfront investment by the client, but can be a cost
effective way to apply impactful graphics at those quantities. Most commonly used in the food and
beverage industry, like beer cases and mandarin orange boxes.
B flutes provide good stacking strength and crushing resistance. Ideally used for canned goods and
displays.
C flutes have 39-43 flutes per foot and are 11/64 thick. They are the medium between A flute and B
flute and are very common.
C flutes provide good cushioning, stacking and printing properties. Ideally used for glass, furniture and
dairy.
E flutes have 94 flutes per foot and are 1/16 thick. The board profile is super-thin which in turn reduces
box size and saves store space.
E flutes provide the greatest crush resistance and a super printing surface which make it an excellent
choice for die-cut custom boxes.
