Why Choose Double Wall Corrugated
Custom Double Wall Corrugated Packaging | Maximum Compression for Heavy Products
Double-wall corrugated uses two corrugated fluted mediums bonded together with three liner papers (outer liner, middle liner, inner liner), creating a board typically 6-8mm thick with compression resistance far exceeding single-wall corrugated at equivalent dimensions. The double-wall construction distributes compressive forces through two independent fluted medium layers, providing stacking compression resistance exceeding 200 lbs for industrial and freight shipping applications where single-wall corrugated's capacity is insufficient.
Double-Wall Configurations
Double-wall corrugated is produced in multiple flute combinations. BC-flute (B-flute over C-flute, approximately 6.5mm) is the most common double-wall combination. EB-flute (E-flute over B-flute, approximately 4.5mm) provides maximum print quality on the E-flute exterior liner while B-flute inner medium provides structural support -- used for premium retail display requiring double-wall structural performance with near-folding-carton print quality. AA-flute (two A-flute mediums, approximately 10mm) provides maximum cushioning and compression for the heaviest and most fragile products.
Double-Wall Applications
Double-wall corrugated serves applications where single-wall performance is insufficient: industrial freight shipping, bulk product shipping for large appliances, high-stack warehouse storage requiring maximum compression, fragile heavy products requiring both cushioning and compression resistance, and premium retail display requiring structural permanence over extended display periods.
When Single-Wall Corrugated is Not Enough
The decision to specify double-wall corrugated is driven by a single question: does single-wall provide adequate performance for the specific application? For products exceeding 100 lbs, single-wall at standard ECT ratings approaches the limits of its rated load capacity. For warehouse storage with 10+ pallet layers, single-wall compression resistance may be insufficient at the bottom layers under accumulated load. For fragile heavy products requiring both cushioning depth and compression resistance simultaneously, double-wall provides both through its two independent fluted medium layers.
EB-Flute: Double-Wall Performance with Premium Print Quality
EB-flute double-wall corrugated (E-flute exterior over B-flute interior) solves a previously difficult packaging problem: achieving double-wall structural performance alongside near-folding-carton print quality on a single packaging structure. The E-flute exterior liner provides the smooth printing surface that enables lithographic lamination and high-quality flexographic printing; the B-flute interior medium provides the compression resistance and cushioning depth that single-wall E-flute cannot achieve alone.

Double Wall Corrugated Packaging in Lincoln — FAQs
What is double-wall corrugated?
Double-wall corrugated uses two corrugated fluted mediums bonded together with three liner papers, creating a board 6-10mm thick with compression resistance exceeding 200 lbs. The two-medium construction distributes compressive forces through two independent layers, providing structural performance far exceeding single-wall corrugated at equivalent dimensions.
What are the most common double-wall configurations?
BC-flute (6.5mm) -- the most common, providing balanced compression and print quality. EB-flute (4.5mm) -- premium print quality at double-wall strength. AA-flute (10mm) -- maximum cushioning and compression for the heaviest applications.
When should I specify double-wall instead of single-wall?
Specify double-wall when: product weight exceeds 100 lbs, warehouse stacking generates compression exceeding single-wall capacity, the product requires both deep cushioning and high compression resistance simultaneously, or the display period exceeds the durability of single-wall at the specified conditions.
Is double-wall more expensive than single-wall?
Yes, typically 40-70% more material cost per unit area due to the additional corrugated medium and liner. The structural performance improvement must be evaluated against this premium for each specific application.
