What is a flute in the packaging sense?
In packaging, a flute refers to the wavy layer of material between the linerboards in corrugated cardboard. It provides strength and rigidity to the material.
What is the thickness of the board you use?
The thickness of the board we use for custom packaging varies based on the specific requirements of each project. We offer a range of options, allowing clients to choose the thickness that best suits their needs. We use the following board and paper specifications for each box style we offer: Mailer box: E-Flute 32 ECT (200 lbs TEST) - thickness 1/16". Rigid Box: 80lbs (160m) litho paper + 0.50pt board – total thickness 1/16". Shipping Box: B-Flute 32 ECT (1/8” thick) - designed for 200 lbs of weight. Folding Box: 18pt SBS Board.
How do white and Kraft boards differ?
Our whiteboard has both a matte white and a glossy white surface, making it an excellent choice for vivid color printing. On the other hand, the Kraft board has a brown shade on both sides, which may make colors look muted. Choosing Kraft board, however, gives your packaging an organic, eco-friendly feel.
How does biodegradable differ from compostable?
The decomposition of biodegradable packaging occurs when bacteria and fungi are present and when the packaging is exposed to sunlight. Decomposition takes a variable amount of time. Compostable packaging, on the other hand, decomposes within 90 days under similar conditions.
What is offset printing?
Offset printing is a high-quality technique known as lithography or lithographic printing, where inked images are transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface. This indirect process is ideal for large-volume projects and ensures consistent, sharp results.

Digital printing is a modern printing method that directly reproduces digital files onto various surfaces without the need for traditional printing plates. It is a cost-effective and efficient solution for smaller print runs, offering quick turnaround times and the ability to customize each printed piece easily.
