EXTRAORDINARY CUSTOMIZATION – Call (888) 333-9513 Fanfold is an optimal solution for custom packaging boxes.
Fan fold corrugated is a continuous length of corrugated that has been accordion folded into a stack. It can be sized in width from about 6 inches (150mm) wide to 86 inches (2200mm) wide. The folds are commonly every 48 inches (1200mm) but can vary based on the manufacturing process and customer needs. Two bale units fit perfectly side-by-side in a trailer so the transportation cube is optimal — which is almost twice as efficient as finished boxes. Fanfold is an innovative packaging solution that consists of a bale of corrugated board – usually between 1,000 and 1,500 linear feet in length – accordion-folded and scored to fit your exact specifications. Because of its extraordinary customization characteristics, fanfold lends itself to a wide variety of packaging applications.
It is an ideal solution for products of unusual lengths and shapes, and it affords manufacturers of multi-sized products a unique alternative to multiple container sizes and usage. Fanfold can be cut by hand to specific sizes, custom ordered in specific sizes and dimensions for ease in applying a wrap style package. It is also produced and used as a raw corrugated solution for CNC box making and converting machines that offer extreme flexibility in on demand packaging and corrugated focused factories.
