Double Wall Corrugated Packaging in Dayton, OH
Dayton is the Birthplace of Aviation — where Wilbur and Wright built and flew the first successful airplane, and where Wright-Patterson Air Force Base today houses the Air Force Research Laboratory and makes Dayton the center of American military aerospace research. The city's extraordinary invention heritage continues in a growing biomedical and tech startup ecosystem, Premier Health's major medical system, and the University of Dayton's research output. My Custom Boxes serves Dayton's aerospace-anchored and innovation-driven business community.

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 Dayton — 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.
What is the minimum order for double-wall corrugated packaging?
Our minimum order is 100 units for custom double-wall corrugated packaging. Double-wall is compatible with standard flexographic printing and digital corrugated printing at 100-unit minimums.
