B flute is selected over other flute profiles for specific performance advantages:
| Advantage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Crush resistance | Closely spaced flutes provide excellent resistance to flat crush and point loads |
| Surface smoothness | Finer flute profile creates a flatter, smoother outer surface — ideal for printing |
| Thinner profile | Thinner than A or C flute — reduces packaging volume and storage space |
| Stacking strength | High column crush strength supports stacked loads on pallet |
| Die-cutting performance | Fine flute cuts cleanly and precisely with minimal fibre tearing |
| Tighter wrapping radius | Can wrap around smaller diameter products without cracking or delaminating |
| Tin can and glass | Ideal profile for wrapping canned goods, bottles, and glass containers |
