Compared with the B-flute, the S-flute can give an increased fill factor of up to 25%, Smurfit Kappa says. This means more sheets can be fitted on a pallet, saving on transport costs and lowering carbon dioxide emissions. "In short, the S-flute is an innovation that is completely in line with Smurfit Kappa's goal of achieving sustainable development in everything we do," the company points out.
"Our new S-flute concept has many possibilities, especially in retail packaging, and more particularly in shelf-ready packaging. On the shelf, every millimeter counts. Economic storage and excellent, attractive printing are key factors. The new S-flute, combined with our printing expertise, ensures that we meet all of these demands," the company said in a press release this week.
