Requires two papers, one of which is the liner and the other the medium.

Requires three papers, two of which are liners and the third, the medium. The medium, generally in either flute B or C, is glued between the two liners.

Requires five papers, three liners and two mediums (generally one in B flute and the other in C flute), where the mediums are sandwiched between the liners.

Requires seven papers, comprised of a double wall plus another medium (in either B or C flute) and liner. This type of corrugated is one of the least common.

Various layers of fiber are glued together to form a compact sheet of carton. This type of packaging is used for items such as cereal and cigarette boxes.

Is used to glue the various papers together in the manufacturing process of corrugated containerboard. The glue is comprised of a cornstarch base combined with water, caustic soda, borax and a catalyzing agent.

Corrugated pieces that are designed and manufactured in hexagonal shapes of any size.

When the graphics are printed after the corrugated sheet has been made and is then fed into the printer.

When high-quality paper is printed using Flexographic techniques and then used as the outside liner in the manufacturing of containerboard. This process is generally used for high-volume packaging needs that require high-impact graphics.

Boxes with a very small flute (E or F flute ) that, as a result, have a smoother surface, helping to enhance the printed quality of the graphics.

A preprinted label, made with Offset technology, is added partially or fully to the corrugated sheet. Generally, litholabeled is used for smaller volumes than boxes requiring a litholaminate process.

A technique used to put Offset technology printings on sheets or rolls on a single face sheet of corrugated. This process is a used for packages that require high-impact graphics.

How a corrugated container resists the stacking pressure it is exposed to in the distribution environment.

Consists of the correct thickness of the papers used in manufacturing a corrugated container. The correct sizes of the flutes are as follows: A (3/16"), B (3/32"), C (9/64), E (3/64"), and BC (3/16"). The correct corrugation of the flute contributes to a better stacking strength.

An inappropriate caliper may cause the corrugated container to be easily crushed. In production, steps are taken to minimize the flat crush effect since it affects the container's stacking strength.

A standard test used at the paper mills to determine the paper's compression strength. A sample piece of the paper, ½" x 6", is placed in a special machine to measure its resistance value.

The measurement, in pounds per 1000 square feet, of the weight of the papers used in a corrugated container. This is one of the specifications required by the original Rule 41, Article 222.
