Kraft Paper

Kraft paper, recycled paper and test recycled inner liner, is the most common make up of a box. Kraft paper on the outside, have higher levels of virgin paper (non-recycled), which gives a higher quality of finish and a better printing surface ideal for custom cardboard boxes.

White Paper

White paper can be used as the external paper for your box, it can be a cost effective way to give you a more high end feel to corrugated boxes. White paper gives a nicer finish and superior substrate for greater print quality.

Standard paper thickness starts at 125gsm (gram per square meter) and goes roughly in jumps of 150, 200 and 300 gsm. Corrugated cases & boxes of up to 500gsm where required can be supplied. The strength of the box is affected not only by the paper thickness but also by the grade of fluting you have. Fluting will be explained further below.

Fluting

Standard flutes that we work with on a daily basis are E, B, C, BC and EB as well as various micro flutings. See further information and diagrams below:
