C flute

Also: C flute

The most common shipping-box flute (~3.6 mm high, 39 flutes per 30 cm). The default choice for general corrugated boxes.

C flute is the workhorse of the corrugated industry. Its height and flute pitch sit between A and B flute, giving a balance of cushioning, stacking, and printability. Most shipping boxes in North America and Europe use single-wall C flute.
