SINGLE FACE Corrugated Rolls

Single Face Corrugated Rolls combine flexibility with reliable protection, offering the eco-friendly alternative to bubble wrap for countless packaging applications. Anchor Box Company’s rolls feature a unique dual-surface design—smooth kraft on one side, protective fluted cushioning on the other—enabling versatile wrapping around irregular shapes and delicate surfaces. Available in two widths (36″ and 48″) with extended 250-foot roll lengths, these rolls provide extensive coverage while remaining lightweight and cost-effective.

The B-flute construction (1/8″ raised fluting) balances excellent shock absorption with structural flexibility. The raised fluting creates thousands of tiny air pockets that absorb impact forces and cushion fragile items during transport and handling. This cushioning effect protects glassware, ceramics, electronics, furniture, and delicate surfaces that require gentle handling. The B-flute depth is optimal for most applications—substantial enough for serious protection yet thin enough for easy handling and compact storage.

The innovative dual-surface design provides maximum versatility. The smooth kraft exterior presents a professional, clean appearance suitable for retail or premium applications. The fluted interior provides the actual cushioning and protection. This design enables safe wrapping around polished surfaces, screens, and finishes without scratching or marring. Unlike rough kraft paper that can scratch delicate surfaces, the smooth exterior is completely safe for high-value items.

Exceptional flexibility enables conforming to irregular shapes, odd-sized items, and challenging geometries. Unlike rigid materials requiring custom sizing, single face corrugated wraps easily around corners, edges, and complex shapes. The material bends without breaking, folds without creasing permanently, and adapts to any application. This flexibility is particularly valuable for furniture edges, machinery, and oddly-shaped merchandise.

Hand-tear capability enables quick customization without special equipment or tools. Simply tear the roll to desired length with bare hands—no scissors, knives, or cutting equipment required. This easy handling accelerates packing operations, enables on-the-fly customization for different product sizes, and reduces training requirements. Workers apply protective wrapping immediately without waiting for cutting tools.

Two width options accommodate diverse applications: 36″ width handles standard furniture, mid-sized items, and typical packing scenarios; 48″ width covers large furniture, oversized merchandise, and pallet-scale applications. The extended 250-foot roll length reduces changeovers and minimizes waste compared to sheet alternatives. A single roll provides substantial coverage for multiple applications.

Lightweight design keeps shipping costs competitive and reduces handling strain. The thin yet protective material adds minimal dimensional weight to shipments, keeping shipping calculations based on actual product weight rather than inflated packaging volume. Workers appreciate the lightweight material that’s easy to handle despite providing substantial protection.

Superior cost-effectiveness compared to bubble wrap and foam alternatives makes single face corrugated the economical choice for budget-conscious operations. The material costs less per linear foot while providing comparable or superior protection. Extended roll lengths mean purchasing fewer rolls and changeovers, further reducing operational costs. Professional movers and warehouses rely on corrugated for this cost advantage.

100% recyclable kraft material supports environmental commitments and sustainability goals. After use, flatten rolls and recycle through standard commercial cardboard programs. The completely recyclable composition means zero landfill waste and full integration with existing recycling streams. Eco-conscious businesses appreciate the plastic-free, fully sustainable protection solution.

Moisture-resistant kraft exterior provides weather protection during storage and outdoor transport. While not waterproof like plastic alternatives, the kraft resists light moisture and humidity exposure. This moisture resistance is valuable for items stored in humid conditions or experiencing inclement weather during shipping. The water-resistant properties help prevent moisture damage to contents.

Ideal applications include wrapping furniture during moves and storage, protecting machinery and equipment, interleaving between stacked pallets and items, protecting surfaces during construction or renovation, void fill in oversized boxes, box lining and inner protection, protecting electronics and appliances, wrapping art and collectibles, and countless industrial and commercial uses.

FAQs

Q: What does B-flute mean, and how does it compare to other flute types?
A: B-flute refers to the corrugated wave height of approximately 1/8 inch. B-flute balances excellent cushioning with structural flexibility ideal for general applications. C-flute (5/32″) provides extra cushioning; E-flute (smaller) is lighter. B-flute is the industry standard for wrapping and interleaving applications.

Q: Is single face corrugated better than bubble wrap for protecting surfaces?
A: Yes, for surface protection. Single face’s smooth kraft exterior won’t scratch, mark, or leave imprints on polished finishes. Bubble wrap can leave bubble marks. Single face is superior for high-value items and delicate surfaces. Bubble wrap is better for lightweight, extremely delicate items requiring maximum cushioning.

Q: Can I cut these rolls to custom lengths, or must I use the full width?
A: Both. The rolls tear easily by hand to any length you need. The 36″ or 48″ widths are fixed, but you customize length easily. Cut shorter sections for wrapping individual items or leave full lengths for pallet-scale applications.

Q: Which width should I choose—36″ or 48″?
A: 36″ width handles standard furniture, medium items, and typical packing. 48″ width covers large furniture, oversized merchandise, and pallet applications. Choose based on typical item sizes. Both are economical; choose whichever matches your most common applications.

Q: Is single face corrugated as protective as double-wall corrugated?
A: No, double-wall provides more protection for extremely heavy or demanding applications. Single face provides excellent protection for most items. For light-to-medium protection needs, single face is superior cost-wise. For maximum protection, double-wall is preferable despite higher cost.

Q: Can I use single face corrugated for outdoor storage?
A: Yes, the moisture-resistant kraft handles outdoor conditions reasonably well. For extended outdoor exposure or waterproof requirements, cover rolls with plastic. The moisture-resistant kraft provides weather protection without being fully waterproof.

Q: Are these rolls recyclable?
A: Yes, 100% recyclable through standard commercial cardboard programs. Flatten after use and recycle with standard cardboard. No special processing needed. The recyclable kraft material fully integrates with existing recycling streams.

Q: How long does a 250-foot roll last in a typical warehouse?
A: Duration depends on usage frequency and application. A busy warehouse might use one roll weekly; lighter usage could extend to monthly. The 250-foot length is designed for substantial coverage, reducing changeovers significantly.
