Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different types of corrugated?
Corrugated board comes in three different types: solid flute (SF), wavy flute (WF), and cross flute (XF). Each type has different properties depending on its intended use: SF is stiffer than either WF or XF boards; WF boards are flexible enough for folding into corners; XF boards have more strength than either SF or WF boards.
What are different types of corrugated used for?
Single-wall corrugated, used for most boxes, is much thinner than double-wall, and it tends to be used for lighter-weight packaging products. Double-wall corrugated has more structural integrity than single-wall and can be used for heavier products or those that need more protection during shipping or storage. Triple wall is used to contain very heavy products that are transported on skids.
What is a safety knife?

What are common injuries caused by unsafe knives?
The two most common injuries caused by unsafe knives in the workplace and in factories are lacerations and repetitive motion injuries.
Lacerations are the most common injury caused by unsafe knives in the workplace. These occur when a person's body comes into contact with a blade that is being used.
Repetitive motion injuries are also common with poorly engineered knives in the workplace. These occur when someone uses a knife repetitively for long periods of time. This can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, or other musculoskeletal issues.
