Board Grade Options

The bottom of the box carries a seal, the Box Manufacturer’s Certificate (BMC). It indicates the strength of the board and the weight limit.

The strength of corrugated board defines how much weight a box can withstand, and is determined based on a strength test.

There are two recognized tests.

1. Burst Test/Mullen Test - This measures the pounds per square inch needed to rupture the board from internal or external forces.

2. The Edge Crush Test (ECT) -This measures the top and bottom compression of the corrugated board. This is a primary factor in predicting the compression strength of a completed box. The higher the number, the stronger the box.

Our structural designers will help
determine your strength needs.

Box Structure

Corrugated fibreboard has two main components: the linerboard and the medium. Both are made from paper called containerboard. Linerboard is the flat facing that adheres to the medium. The medium is the wavy, fluted paper in between the liners.

There are four main types of corrugated board:

Single Face: One medium is glued to one liner. Typically used as a wrapping material.	Single Face
Single Wall: The medium is between two liners. Also known as double face. The outside liner is smoother than the inside liner.	Single Wall
Double Wall: Three liners with two mediums in between. The outside medium is more compact than the inside medium. Used for heavy items which require increased protection and box rigidity.	Double Wall
Triple Wall: Four sheets of linerboard with the three mediums in between.	Triple Wall

Flutes: The medium waves are called flutes. The direction and the distance between the flutes provides varying levels of stacking strength and/or cushioning. Generally, larger flute profiles deliver greater vertical compression strength and cushioning. Smaller flute profiles provide enhanced structural and graphics capabilities for retail packaging.

Half Slotted Container (HSC) Same as Regular Slotted container without one set of flaps.	Half Slotted Container
Full Overlap Container (FOL) All flaps have the same length (the width of the box). When closed, the outer flaps come within one inch of a complete overlap.	Full Overlap Slotted Container
Five Panel Folder (FPF) - Center Seam This “econo” folder is a single cut and scored piece that wraps around the contents and is sealed.	Five Panel Folder
Telescope Boxes - Container With Cover These boxes have a separate top and bottom that fit over each other.	Telescope Boxes
