Sustainable flute type THIMM T-Flute

THIMM T-Flute is a sustainable flute type between B-Flute and E-Flute. It creates up to 25% savings in warehousing and transportation and thus protects the environment through lower CO₂ emissions. At the same time processing properties are improved. The ensuing benefits arise thanks to higher quality print images, improved operating properties in the mechanical, and handling benefits in the manual, packaging process. Due to the more consistent surface structure and a lower washboard effect, the flute type is ideally suited for use with lighter-grammage papers or direct printing.

Structural characteristics

• More sustainable flute type with flute geometry between B and E flute
  (Flute height h = 1.7 mm)
• Up to 25% savings in the entire logistics and packaging process
• Print quality benefits through a more consistent surface structure
• Improved processing properties in the packaging process
   

Customer benefits

Up to 25% savings in the entire logistics and packaging process

• Reduced internal company transport volumes
• Lower storage volume due to fewer pallet storage locations being required
• Improved productivity in the packaging process due to a higher number of die-cuts in the packaging machine magazine

Improved processing properties in production

• Higher-quality print image also when using lighter-grammage papers
• Better print results in direct printing through a consistent surface structure and lower washboard effect
• Improved operating properties in the mechanical packaging process
• Improved handling properties for manual packaging assembly
• Savings in comparison to B-Flute
   

Environmental aspects / Sustainability

• Up to 25% lower CO₂ emissions throughout the logistics process in comparison to using a B-flute
• Reduced transportation and storage volumes
