Corrugated board cutting dies that cut cleanly without crushing the flute

Where this die fits

Corrugated board has a fluted core between liners. Its thickness and compression behaviour differ from solid cartonboard, so flute type, direction and the measured board caliper are part of the die specification.

For shipping boxes and heavy packaging, the rule height must suit the flatbed press. Crease geometry, rubbering and waste channels are then reviewed for the actual board sample.

• Shipping boxes and e-commerce packaging
• E, B, C flute and laminated corrugated board
• Large single-piece or multi-up jobs
• Locking packages for heavy products

Checks that control flute direction and crushing

On corrugated board, flute type and direction matter as much as the outer profile. Crease position across the flute, crushing risk, narrow bridges, waste release and rubber hardness are reviewed on the same sample.

• Flute direction and fold strength
• Crush marks and crease pressure
• Waste release and product separation
• Base rigidity on large formats

Board and machine data for a corrugated job

Send flute type, board caliper, open box or part drawing, print-lamination data and machine size. Add the product load and use direction when a fold or carrying edge is critical.

• Flute type and material thickness
• Box dimensions, open dieline and FEFCO code if known
• Weight of product to be carried
• Machine size and quantity
