Smurfit Kappa is the UK market leader in the production of microflutes, with its Norboard range including F flute (1000 – 1250 microns) and G flute (850 – 1000 microns)

Microflutes offer customers an excellent alternative to both solid carton board and litho laminated corrugated board, since they can be printed at the highest quality using direct litho printing to create Fluted Cartons

Advantages of microflutes over solid carton board:

• Lighter but stronger, yet can still be printed to the same high quality using direct litho printing.
• Additional transit packaging may potentially be eliminated.
• Lower material content results in lower wastage, giving cost and environmental benefits.
• Greater flexibility with inter-changeable liner combinations for custom-made solutions.

Advantages of microflutes over litho laminated corrugated board:

• Less flute shadow gives better aesthetics.
• Pressure from retailers for optimum use of shelf space can be addressed by using F or G flute instead of litho laminated E flute.
• Improved speed to market and lower stock commitment.
