Types of Flutes

Flutes come in several standard shapes or flute profiles (A, B, C, E, F, etc.). The most common are "B-flute" (used for die-cut boxes) and "C-flute" (used for RSC's). B-flute is compressed and appears thinner. It is made with more paper to provide stronger side wall protection from blows and punctures. C-flute is taller, with more air space, but offers enhanced stacking strength. E-flute is excellent for graphic reproduction.
