Types of Corrugated Box

By Wall Construction (Ply)

3-Ply / Single Wall: One corrugated medium between two flat liners. Lightweight, cost-effective and most widely used for e-commerce, retail and light consumer goods.
5-Ply / Double Wall: Two corrugated mediums with a central liner. Significantly higher stacking and puncture strength ideal for FMCG, glass, automotive parts and heavy retail goods.
7-Ply / Triple Wall: Three corrugated mediums with four liners the heaviest-duty construction. Replaces wooden crates for industrial machinery, heavy equipment and export shipments.

By Box Style

RSC (Regular Slotted Container): All flaps same length the most common worldwide format (FEFCO 0201). Standard for general shipping and e-commerce fulfilment.
HSC (Half Slotted Container): Open-top style used with a separate lid or for display. Common on automated packing lines and retail shelf displays.
Die-Cut Box: Custom-shaped with cutouts, h and les and display windows. Ideal for premium brands, gift packaging and D2C unboxing experiences.
Telescope Box: Separate lid and base configuration. Superior protection for electronics, high-value goods and display packaging.
Tray / Bliss Box: Flat-bottom tray with sidewalls. Common for fresh produce, bakery items and FMCG products.
Custom / Specialty: Any configuration engineered to specification for industrial, automotive and export requirements.

By Flute Profile

A-Flute (~4.7 mm): Highest cushioning used for fragile goods and glassware.
B-Flute (~2.4 mm): Good puncture resistance common for canned goods and retail boxes.
C-Flute (~3.5 mm): All-purpose standard the most widely used flute profile in India.
E-Flute (~1.2 mm): Thin and rigid preferred for premium retail, cosmetics and point-of-sale display.
BC-Flute / Double (~6 mm): Very high strength used for heavy goods and industrial containers.

Manufacturing Process

Raw Material Procurement: Premium 50 BF kraft paper sourced from certified mills. Each incoming roll is inspected for GSM, moisture content and tensile strength before entering production.
Corrugation: Kraft sheets pass through precision corrugating rolls at controlled heat and pressure to form the characteristic flute profile B, C, E, or BC flute depending on the specification.
Laminating & Slitting: Fluted sheets are starch-bonded to liners under regulated pressure to form single, double, or triple-wall board, then slit and scored to size.
Printing: Approved artwork is printed via flexographic or offset press using UV resistant inks. Single to multi-colour output with sharp registration and consistent colour fidelity.
Die-Cutting & Slotting: Boards are cut, slotted and creased to final box dimensions using precision die-cutting equipment. H and les, windows and perforations are added at this stage.
In-Process Quality Checks: Glue strength, board flatness (warp test) and dimensional accuracy are verified at each production stage. R and om samples are tested for moisture and medium adhesion.
Final Quality Testing: Finished boxes are subjected to Bursting Factor (BF), Edge Crush Test (ECT) and Cobb Value tests per BIS IS 7063 methodology before dispatch clearance is issued.
Flat Packing & Dispatch: Approved boxes are flat-packed in bundles, strapped and labelled. Orders are dispatched with batch traceability records maintained for every consignment.

Key Quality Parameters Tested

Bursting Factor (BF): Puncture resistance under internal pressure primary strength indicator for corrugated box.
Edge Crush Test (ECT): Vertical stacking strength of the corrugated board determines maximum column load.
Cobb Value: Water absorption resistance of liner papers critical for humid transport and storage environments.
GSM Grammage: Paper weight verification against specification for each incoming raw material lot.
Warp Test: Flatness of corrugated board for compatibility with high-speed automated packing machinery.
Glue Bond Strength: Minimum 95–100% surface adhesion between medium and liner tested on every production batch.
Dimensional Accuracy: Length, width and height tolerance verification per batch to ensure consistent box fit.

Raw Materials & Input Quality

Kraft Liner Paper: Premium 50 BF (Bursting Factor) grade the outer and inner face sheets providing printability, tensile strength and surface finish quality.
Corrugating Medium: Semi-chemical fluting paper forming the wavy core available in B, C, E and BC flute profiles based on application requirements.
Water-Resistant Adhesive: Food-safe, water-resistant starch-based adhesive ensuring superior glue bond strength tested for 95–100% surface adhesion on corrugated board.
Printing Inks: Non-toxic, fast-drying flexographic inks single or multi-colour options. UV-resistant for long shelf and transit life.
Moisture Coatings: Applied on request for cold-chain, high-humidity environments, or export applications extends board performance under wet conditions.
