Without exception, the size of a corrugated cardboard box is always expressed by three dimensions: Length, then Width, then Depth. (L x W x D)

These measurements refer to the inside dimensions of the box.

  • The Length is the larger dimension of the box's opening.
  • The Width is the smaller dimension.
  • The Depth is perpendicular to the opening.


FlutesFlute is the wave shapes pressed into corrugated medium. The normal direction of flutes is parallel to the depth of the box, so that they are vertical when the box is stacked for shipment.

Flute C. Most common material, crush resistant, and good stacking strength.

Flute B. Takes up less space, puncture resistance. Uses include canned goods and displays.

Flute A. Used most commonly with Flute C in triple wall board.
