Description

CORRUGATED SINGLE FACER ROLL ( B FLUTE )

Corrugated single facer roll (B flute) is a continuous roll of single-face corrugated board consisting of a fluted (wave-shaped) corrugated medium bonded to a single flat liner sheet on one side only, leaving the fluted profile exposed on the opposite side. The B flute profile is a specific corrugation size standard characterised by its relatively fine, closely spaced flutes that provide excellent crush resistance, stacking strength, and surface smoothness in a thinner overall board profile. In roll form, single facer corrugated is used as a wrapping, interleaving, cushioning, and protective packaging material that combines the rigidity and impact protection of corrugated board with the flexibility and conformability of a roll format.

Why B Flute

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

Key Performance Properties

Superior crush resistance — B flute profile resists point loads and compression forces that would collapse thinner materials
Excellent cushioning — flute cells absorb and distribute impact energy protecting contents from shock
Rigid yet flexible — stiff enough to protect but flexible enough to wrap around products
Conformable wrapping — rolls around bottles, cans, jars, and irregular shapes without cracking
Surface protection — smooth kraft liner prevents scratching and marking of product surfaces
Moisture buffering — paper construction absorbs minor humidity fluctuations protecting contents
Printable surface — flat kraft liner accepts flexographic and inkjet printing cleanly
Biodegradable and recyclable — fully paper-based construction; recyclable with cardboard waste
Lightweight — adds minimal weight to packaged goods reducing shipping costs
Easy to cut — cuts cleanly with scissors, knife, or guillotine along any line
Stackable protection — adds structural rigidity to wrapped or lined packaging
