Fluting Medium/Semi Kraft

Material Composition: 

• Recycled Fibers: The fluting medium is typically made from a mix of recycled fibres. This not only makes it cost-effective but also environmentally friendly, as it promotes recycling and reduces waste.
• Virgin Fibers: In some cases, virgin fibres from hardwood and softwood trees are used to enhance the strength and durability of the paper.

Strength and Durability:

• Bursting Strength: This paper is designed to have a high bursting strength to withstand pressure and prevent punctures or tears.
• Compression Strength: Its high compression strength helps maintain the structural integrity of corrugated boxes during stacking and transit.

Weight and Thickness:

• Fluting medium comes in various weights (measured in grams per square meter or GSM) and thicknesses, tailored to different packaging needs. Heavier and thicker grades provide more strength but may be less flexible.

Moisture Resistance:

• Semi-kraft paper is treated to be moisture-resistant, ensuring that it retains its strength and rigidity even in humid conditions. This is critical for maintaining the performance of corrugated packaging.

1. Packaging:

• Shipping Boxes: The most common use of fluting medium is in the production of shipping boxes, which require robust, impact-resistant materials to protect goods.
• Protective Packaging: It is also used in protective packaging inserts, such as partitions and cushioning, to prevent damage to delicate items.

2. Display and Retail:

• Point-of-Sale Displays: Corrugated cardboard made from the fluting medium is used in creating sturdy, lightweight point-of-sale displays for retail environments.
• Retail Packaging: Semi-kraft paper is also used for creating retail packaging that is both attractive and functional.

3. Industrial Uses

• Storage Solutions: Industrial storage boxes and bins made from corrugated cardboard provide durable and stackable solutions for warehouses and factories.
