Corrugated Cartons, Made to Your Specification
Single, double and triple wall boxes manufactured in Lahore — cut and creased to your internal dimensions, in the ply and flute your load actually needs.

The ply count is simply the number of paper layers. More layers carry more weight and survive a longer journey, but cost more and take more space. The right specification is the lightest board that protects the product properly.
| Construction | How it is built | Typically used for |
|---|---|---|
| 3-ply (single wall) | One fluted layer between two liners. | Most retail and e-commerce cartons, light to medium loads. |
| 5-ply (double wall) | Two fluted layers between three liners. | Heavier goods, stacked storage, longer transport. |
| 7-ply (triple wall) | Three fluted layers between four liners. | Industrial loads and export crates, where a wooden box might otherwise be used. |
Flute grades
The flute is the fluted inner layer that does the work. Thicker flutes cushion better; thinner flutes give a flatter surface that prints more cleanly. Thicknesses below are the usual approximate figures.
| Flute | Approx. thickness | Suited to |
|---|---|---|
| A-flute | about 5 mm | Most cushioning; fragile items. |
| C-flute | about 4 mm | The general-purpose shipping flute. |
| B-flute | about 3 mm | Better crush resistance; canned and tinned goods. |
| E-flute | about 1.5 mm | Thin wall, fine printing; retail cartons. |
Printing
Cartons can be printed with your brand, product details, handling marks or batch information. Print is quoted per colour, so a one-colour logo costs less to run than full artwork across the box.
Send the artwork with your enquiry and say how many colours it uses. We will quote printed and plain versions together so you can see exactly what the printing adds.
How to measure a box
Give sizes as internal dimensions — length × width × height, measured inside the box. Internal size is what has to fit your product. External size is always larger by the thickness of the board, and quoting it by mistake is the most common reason a first sample comes back too small.
Common questions
What is the difference between 3-ply, 5-ply and 7-ply?
The number counts the layers of paper. 3-ply is one fluted sheet between two flat liners, 5-ply has two fluted sheets, and 7-ply has three. More layers means more stacking strength and more protection, and more material — so the right answer is the lightest board that carries your load safely.
How should I give the size of a box?
Always as internal dimensions, in the order length × width × height, measured to the inside of the box. Internal size is what has to fit your product; the external size is larger by the thickness of the board.
What is a flute, and which one do I need?
The flute is the wavy layer that gives corrugated board its strength. Grades run from A (thickest, most cushioning) down to E and F (thin, better for printing). C-flute is the usual choice for general shipping, B-flute where crush resistance matters more than cushioning, and E-flute for retail boxes that need a fine printed finish.
What information do you need to quote a carton?
Internal length, width and height; what the box will hold and roughly how heavy it is; the quantity you need; and whether it should be printed. If you are not sure about ply or flute, describe the product and the journey it makes, and we will suggest a specification.
Can boxes be printed with our brand?
Yes. Tell us how many colours your artwork uses and we will quote printed and plain versions so you can compare.
Tell us what you need to pack
Every carton is made for one customer, so price depends on size, ply, quantity and print. Describe the product and we will quote it.
