Corrugated Paperboard Weight Calculator
Here's a comprehensive table with everything you need to know about Corrugated Paperboard Weight, including flute types, thickness, weight per square meter (GSM), and common applications.
Corrugated Paperboard Weight and Specifications
| Flute Type | Flute Height (mm) | Flute Count (per 30 cm) | Board Thickness (mm) | Weight (GSM) | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A-Flute | 4.5 – 5.0 | 33 – 36 | 4.5 – 5.0 | 180 – 450 | Cushioning, fragile items |
| B-Flute | 2.1 – 2.9 | 47 – 52 | 2.5 – 3.0 | 150 – 350 | Retail packaging, die-cut boxes |
| C-Flute | 3.5 – 3.7 | 38 – 42 | 3.5 – 4.0 | 175 – 400 | Standard shipping boxes |
| E-Flute | 1.0 – 1.8 | 90 – 98 | 1.2 – 2.0 | 125 – 300 | High-quality printing, small packaging |
| F-Flute | 0.6 – 1.0 | 120 – 130 | 0.8 – 1.2 | 100 – 250 | Specialty packaging, folding cartons |
| BC-Flute (Double Wall) | B + C | - | 6.0 – 7.5 | 350 – 700 | Heavy-duty shipping boxes |
| EB-Flute (Double Wall) | E + B | - | 4.0 – 5.5 | 300 – 600 | Compact but strong packaging |
| Triple Wall (AAA/BBC) | 12 – 15 | - | 10 – 15 | 700 – 1500 | Industrial packaging, bulk transport |
Additional Considerations
- GSM (grams per square meter) varies based on linerboard weight and flute density.
- Bursting Strength (BF) and Edge Crush Test (ECT) are important for durability.
- Coatings & Laminations (wax, poly, etc.) can add weight and strength.
