Corrugated Flutes
The strongest structural element is the arch. Thus small paper arches between two linerboards create a very durable and lightweight packaging media. Corrugated board comes in varying degrees of durability. Fluting is the term given to the thickness, and therefore durability, of different boards. C flute is most commonly used for RSC shipping cartons.
