C-Flute Corrugated Carton Boxes

You no longer need to search any further! You have found a manufacturer of C-flute corrugated carton boxes without going through any intermediaries. Therefore, our pricing policy is consistently THE MOST COMPETITIVE IN THE MARKET!

1. What Are C-Flute Corrugated Carton Boxes?

C-flute corrugated carton boxes are designed from multiple layers of corrugated paperboard, including a corrugated medium known as C-flute. The structural configuration of C-flute cartons features approximately 15% fewer flute grooves than A-flute. C-flute corrugated cartons are engineered with a standardized sinusoidal flute profile, enabling uniform load distribution across the entire carton surface, thereby minimizing localized stress when multiple products are concentrated in a single area.

C-flute corrugated board is among the most widely used product lines in the affordable carton packaging market today, largely replacing A-flute cartons as commonly known.

The flute height of C-flute corrugated board ranges from 3.2 to 4.0 mm, which defines the flute height of C-flute cartons. C-flute paperboard integrates the key properties and advantages of both A-flute and B-flute, resulting in significantly enhanced material quality and a more rigid surface, suitable for premium applications requiring higher performance and distinctive characteristics.

2. Structure of C-Flute Corrugated Carton Boxes

Three-ply C-flute corrugated cartons consist of three layers: the outer linerboard, the inner linerboard, and the C-flute corrugated medium positioned in between.

✿ Outer linerboard: The outer liner of C-flute cartons plays a critical role and should be manufactured from rigorously quality-controlled Kraft or Duplex paper, with accurate basis weight. Most materials are imported from South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and similar sources to ensure the structural integrity of the carton frame.

✿ Corrugated medium: The corrugated layer of three-ply C-flute cartons is composed entirely of C-flute. Depending on specific design requirements, specialized configurations may be applied. Unlike the outer liner, the corrugated medium is typically recycled from used paper and cartons however, quality is assured through thorough material screening prior to reuse.

✿ Inner linerboard of three-ply C-flute cartons: The inner liner, also known as XEO paper, serves as the internal lining layer. Its quality is comparable to that of the corrugated medium to optimize production costs. The basis weight of the inner liner ranges from 150 LBS to 185 LBS, ensuring consistent performance standards.

3. Advantages of C-Flute Corrugated Carton Boxes

Both economical and premium three-ply C-flute corrugated cartons offer numerous outstanding advantages, providing users with confidence for daily application.

• Low cost: Corrugated paper, including C-flute corrugated board, is inherently cost-effective therefore, the production cost of C-flute cartons is significantly lower compared to other packaging materials.

• Lightweight: The average basis weight of corrugated paperboard is approximately 300 g/m², resulting in cartons that are exceptionally lightweight.
  

• This low weight facilitates convenient transportation and efficient warehouse storage.

• High compressive strength and bursting resistance: This is the most prominent advantage of C-flute cartons, making C-flute an exceptional packaging solution. With a flute height intermediate between A-flute and B-flute, C-flute combines the advantageous properties of both flute types.

• Flexible packaging capability: Cost-effective three-ply C-flute cartons are highly flexible when not in use, they can be folded flat and stored compactly in warehouses.
  

• When packaging is required, cartons can be easily erected and assembled, offering convenience and reusability.

• Easy handling, recyclability, and environmental friendliness: Although plastic packaging may be cheaper, it is difficult to process, reuse, or recycle, and it contributes significantly to environmental pollution. Corrugated packaging, by contrast, is easy to process and biodegradable. Furthermore, used C-flute cartons can be recycled and reused, making them highly environmentally friendly.

• Ease of printing: Corrugated packaging allows for easy printing of desired content and images directly on the surface, supporting brand development and delivering product information that effectively attracts customers.
