CORRUGATED SINGLE FACER ROLL ( B FLUTE )
| Previous | 1 / 2 | Next |
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.

- Liner material: Kraft paper or test liner (recycled kraft)
- Fluting medium: Semi-chemical or recycled fluting paper
- Adhesive: Starch-based adhesive bonding liner to flute tips
- Surface: Smooth flat liner one side; exposed open flute profile opposite side
- Color: Natural brown kraft (standard); white top liner available
- Format: Continuous roll wound on a cardboard core
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
