Dura-Fibre Folding Carton Board Called Alternative to Mini-Flute

Published: March 05, 2014

MENASHA, WI | Dura-Fibre says its heavyweight folding carton line presents an alternative to mini-flute, offering high quality graphics and high stacking strength without the hassle of outsourcing lamination or offset printing.

The company says mini-flute has traditionally been the go-to for larger packaging applications that also required printed graphics. However, this requires folding carton converters to either offset post print directly on mini-flute or outsource the lamination of lightweight bleached board to single face corrugate. Reportedly, both options have drawbacks.

Dura-Fibre says its folding carton substrates feature high-caliper constructions that address the limitations of mini-flute. Line includes Forte, Eclipse, Integrity, Blanc, Glacier, and EcoEarth.

The laminated construction of the board eliminates the outsourcing process as well as rippling and washboarding for full-angle viewing on store shelf. The board is press-ready for faster response times, and fewer converting steps increases speed to market.

“We have seen outstanding growth in this segment and will continue to expand our offerings to meet demand,” says director of sales Debbie Koschmann.
