India's Trusted Corrugated Box Manufacturer

A corrugated shipping box in India is a multi-layer packaging container made from fluted corrugated paperboard sandwiched between flat liner sheets. The distinctive wavy inner medium the flute acts as a natural shock absorber, distributing pressure and protecting contents during transit. It is the most widely used industrial packaging material in the world and for good reason.

At Foldy Packaging Pvt. Ltd., we manufacture corrugated box at our state-of-the-art plant in MIDC Chakan, Pune one of India's key industrial corridors. Our corrugated carton boxes are engineered to safeguard products across road, rail, sea and air shipments, meeting the quality benchmarks demanded by modern supply chains.

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.
