Types of Corrugated Fluting

Fluting in corrugated sheets, characterized by its wave-like structure, provides essential strength and durability for packaging. It varies in types - A, B, C, E, F - based on the number of flutes per foot and flute height. Selecting the right type ensures the packaging's effectiveness for specific tasks.

Fluting refers to the wave-like part of a corrugated sheet or box that provides stacking strength and durability. Different types of fluting can be described in terms of the number of flutes per linear foot and the height of the flute itself. Corrugated sheets manufactured using different fluting types are commonly referred to as:

  • A Flute
  • B Flute
  • C Flute
  • E Flute
  • F Flute

In order to assure adequate levels of strength and durability for a specific task, it is imperative that appropriate types of corrugated sheets are used when manufacturing different types of corrugated packaging.
