What is flute size and how do you know which one is right for your packaging?

Flute sizes determine the thickness of the corrugated wall.  Different flute sizes have different functions.  Notice the flutes are constructed in an "arch" pattern.  Just as engineers use the arch for strength in large construction design, so too is the arch important in the strength of the box.  The thickness of the paper used to construct the flute also provides varied strength for your boxes.  Product weight, printing substrate, stacking patterns, warehousing, shipping requirements, etc. can impact your flute choice as well.  Take a look at Pratt's latest news on the D-flute design and let me know if I can assist you in your flute design and choice:
