Solutions · Microflute board
Microflute cardboard: less material, same presence
The cleanest trade-off between light weight, print quality and logistics cost.
Microflute gives a very fine print surface on a structure that stays rigid.
What it solves
When to choose microflute
Microflute is corrugated board with a very fine flute. It gives an almost smooth print surface while keeping the rigidity of corrugated — something neither compact board nor standard corrugated does as well.
It is the right call when graphic quality matters and weight is an issue: lower grammage means less volume paid for in transport, which adds up fast on a multi-store campaign.
It has limits. For heavy loads you need thicker flutes or a reinforced structure. We settle that on your actual product, not on a spec table.
We manufacture in Barcelona and deliver across the European Union: no customs, no duties, intra-community VAT invoicing.
Formats
Microflute applications
Light displays, wraps, shelf-ready packaging and graphic pieces.
Light displays
Slim structures for lighter products, with a clean print finish.
Wraps
Covering existing structures with a high-quality graphic surface.
Shelf-ready packaging (SRP)
Packaging that becomes the display in store, with no product transfer. Also called retail-ready packaging or a PDQ tray, depending on the retailer.
Graphic pieces
Elements where print is the main subject and load is minimal.
Our process
From brief to shop floor
Four stages, one point of contact, a clear schedule.
Paso 01
Brief and product
We start from the product: weight, format, sales channel, units per display and campaign objective.
Paso 02
Structure and die-cut
We design the structure, calculate the loads and prepare the die-cut. You sign off on the drawings.
Paso 03
Prototype
We build a real prototype at our Barcelona plant to validate strength, assembly and print finish before the run.
Paso 04
Production and delivery
Printing, die-cutting and packing in series, then delivery across the European Union, ready to install.

FAQ
Microflute board FAQs
The questions that come up before a quote. If yours isn't here, write to us and we'll answer it.
How does it differ from standard corrugated? +
The flute is much finer, which gives an almost smooth print surface and a lighter piece. Load resistance is lower in exchange: it is a trade-off, not an improvement on every axis.
Will microflute carry heavy product? +
Not much. Past a certain load you need a thicker flute or reinforcement. We check this against your product before recommending the material.
Is the transport saving significant? +
On a single-store campaign, no. On a multi-store campaign, the reduction in grammage and volume becomes a visible line in the budget.
