Profile B D
Flute Ht mm 2.48 1.7
Pitch mm 6.48 4.85
T.U.F. 1.31 1.256
Paper Saving 0 -4.1

BCT % 100 88.5
FCT % 100 126.3
Lower height against B means more board
to be delivered on a pallet and saving
transport costs.

Good run ability like B, not difficult to run
like E or micro flutes. No additional training
necessary.


Advantages D-Profile
ADVANTAGES
Much better printing surface because the
flutes are closer together and the surface is
flatter; so excellent for packages at the Point
of Sale.
Better FCT gives better visual to print on
shelf, does not compress under load from
goods. (Cans bottles etc).
Flute paper save compared with the
Group B cost savings.
