Corrugated Flute Types: E, B, C and EB-Flute Compared
Choosing the right corrugated flute is the single biggest factor in how a custom shipping box performs. YiZhou manufactures E-flute, B-flute, C-flute and double-wall EB-flute board in-house, so board strength can be matched to product weight, stacking height and shipping method.
| Flute Type | Thickness | Typical ECT / BCT | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|---|
| E-flute | ~1.5 mm / 0.06 in | ECT 32 lb/in · BCT ~480 lb | Airplane boxes (tuck-top), mailer boxes, retail & e-commerce, premium print finish |
| B-flute | ~3 mm / 0.12 in | ECT 32-44 lb/in · BCT ~620 lb | Small to medium RSC cartons, cosmetics, perfume and subscription boxes |
| C-flute | ~4 mm / 0.16 in | ECT 44-48 lb/in · BCT ~750 lb | General export cartons, palletised and stacked shipments |
| EB-flute (double-wall) | ~6-7 mm / 0.25 in | ECT 55-71 lb/in · BCT 1,000+ lb | Heavy products, long sea-freight routes, maximum crush resistance |
ECT = Edge Crush Test; BCT = Box Compression Test. Values are typical for 32 ECT kraft liner combinations and can be tuned to your specification.
Load Capacity & Strength Testing (ECT / BCT)
Every custom corrugated shipping box we produce is specified by compression strength, not just by dimensions. We quote ECT and BCT values so your packaging is engineered for the load it has to carry.
| Test | What It Measures | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| ECT (Edge Crush Test) | Edgewise compression strength of the combined corrugated board | 32-71 lb/in (E-flute to EB-flute) |
| BCT (Box Compression Test) | Top-to-bottom compression strength of the finished box | 480-1,000+ lb |
| Safe Load / Stacking | Recommended working load (approx. 25-35% of BCT for long-term stacking) | 120-350 lb per box |
| Drop / Handling Test | ISTA-style handling simulation for export shipments | Available on request |
Tell us your product weight, stacking height and shipping mode and we will recommend the most cost-effective flute and liner combination.
Shipping Box Structures: Tuck-Top, Roll-End and RSC
The airplane box (also called a mailer box, e-commerce box or tuck-top box) is our most popular style for direct-to-consumer shipping. Choose the closure that matches your unboxing experience and fulfilment process.
| Structure | Closure | Assembly | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuck-Top / Airplane Box | Tuck-in lid and base flaps | Manual, no tape required | E-commerce, subscription boxes, retail unboxing, premium brands |
| Roll-End (Tuck-Top End) | Tuck-in short end panels, open sleeve | Manual, fast pack-out | Cosmetics, perfume sets, apparel, jewellery |
| RSC (Regular Slotted Container) | Equal outer flaps, taped | Machine or manual | Bulk export cartons, heavy products, palletised freight |
| Die-Cut Custom | Any custom closure | Depends on design | Inserts, dividers, retail displays |
All structures can be produced in E-flute, B-flute, C-flute or EB-flute with full-colour exterior printing, matte or gloss lamination and optional handles.
