Document Summary
Types of corrugated paperboard: single face: 1 liner + 1 medium, single wall: 2 liners + 1 medium, double wall: 3 liners + 2 mediums, triple wall: 4 liners + 3 mediums. A (5mm) > c (4mm) > b (3mm) > e (1. 5mm) > f (0. 6mm) The larger the flute, the greater the stiffness. The finer/smaller the flute, the better the printing. Therefore, the smaller flute is on the outside for double wall boxes. Generally low grade paperboard is used for flutes. Finished board is described by component grammage (the mass in grams per square metre, gsm) Medium = 127 gsm formed to a c-flute. The length of a case is always the greater of the flap opening dimensions. The depth is the inside dimension between the top and bottom inner flaps. The order in which dimensions are reported indicates where the opening will be. The most significant of corrugated paperboard tests.
