E-Flute Corrugated Packaging in Huntington, WV

E-flute corrugated is the finest standard corrugated flute profile -- with flute height of approximately 1.2mm and 90+ flutes per foot, E-flute creates a corrugated structure that provides the structural benefits of corrugated board (cushioning, compression resistance) with a smooth exterior surface that approaches the print quality of solid paperboard. This combination has made E-flute the corrugated specification for premium retail display packaging, branded e-commerce mailer boxes, and any application requiring both corrugated protection and near-offset print quality.

E-Flute Print Quality Characteristics

E-flute's fine flute profile creates an exterior liner surface with minimal washboard texture -- the visible and tactile pattern of alternating high and low areas that coarser corrugated flutes exhibit on their exterior surfaces. At E-flute's fine profile, the washboard pattern is minimal enough that flexographic printing produces clean, consistent results, and lithographic lamination produces near-folding-carton print quality.

E-Flute for Retail Display Packaging

Counter display units (CDUs) and shelf-ready packaging (SRP) using E-flute provide the structural performance of corrugated with sufficient print quality for branded retail display. For brands developing retail display packaging that must withstand 4-12 weeks of retail handling while communicating brand identity at display-quality print levels, E-flute corrugated is the appropriate specification.
