The two images below show an updated corrugated product that might be of interest for
those of you seeking elegant packaging, gift boxes or
unique marketing materials. Its called
triple black b-flute. The
material is vat dyed (not printed); it's then converted into corrugated b-flute sheets. It's a rich deep black color with depth that is
available only through the dying process. Flexo flood coating won't give you
the same results. The raw material is about 4 to 6 times the price of plain kraft b-flute, however compared to other solutions (turned edge boxes; it rather affordable. It's called triple black because both outside liners and the
inside medium are dyed black.
The material is available in small quantities for custom projects (ex: 600 sheets of 23x35 minimum) on a making item basis. Additionial custom sizes (widths and lengths) are also available.
Make sure you click to enlarge the images to show additional detail.The
material is rather two-sided which means the top side feels and looks different than the 2nd side. I lightened the second image slightly to enable the reader to examine the product in more detail.
