E-type corrugated cardboard

In terms of E-type corrugated cardboard, the type of face paper determines the printing process used. If traditional brown kraft paper is used, watermarking is generally used for single black printing. Of course, other colors can be printed, but the relative visual effect is not outstanding. It is recommended that if watermarking is done on colors other than black (color). White kraft paper can be used as the face paper for the E-type corrugated cardboard.

If other colors are watermarked on brown paper, it can also produce high-quality packaging effects. But relatively speaking, this requires a much higher quality of the printing process and paper. So it must be combined with the product’s own attributes and positioning to make a choice.

It is commonly known as gray/ single-powder laminated E-type corrugated cardboard. The face paper is first printed in color and then hot stamped, embossed, UV varnished, glued and other post-processes, then bonded to the corrugated paper, and finally die-cut and shaped.

In addition to being used for individual sales packaging, corrugated board is also used in sales packaging for display packaging, such as various paper display boxes and cardboard display racks.

It is only when used in the design of display boxes and display racks that the strength of the cardboard of the powder gray/single-powder laminated E corrugated board can no longer meet the strength requirements, and should be changed to powder gray/single-powder laminated B corrugated/C corrugated/double E corrugated according to the required dimensions and the strength requirements of the product.
