How to Choose the Right Corrugated Board

Posted on by definitionconsulting

Which board grade is right for you?

Not all corrugated packaging is the same and picking the right type can make all the difference in protecting your products and reducing costs. With so many board grades and constructions available, each designed for a specific purpose, selecting the right solution can quickly become confusing. We wanted to make it easier for you to understand the choices available and what is best for your individual needs.

Understanding Corrugated Material

Corrugated material is a versatile and durable packaging solution made by combining layers of paperboard. It provides excellent protection during transit and storage while offering flexibility in design and presentation. The process begins with flat sheets of paper, which are then processed through a corrugating machine to create ridges, known as flutes, between layers. These flutes add strength and cushioning to the board, ensuring it can handle various weights and impacts.

Construction and Types of Corrugated Board

1. Single Wall Corrugated Board

Single wall is the most common type of corrugated board, consisting of three layers: a liner (outer layers), a medium (fluted layer), and a liner again. It is ideal for lighter packaging needs and provides good protection for fragile goods. For example, a single wall board typically has a strength rating of B or C flutes, which provide a good balance between durability and flexibility.

2. Double Wall Corrugated Board

Double wall board consists of two fluted layers sandwiched between two outer liners. This construction is suited for heavier and more fragile items, offering enhanced protection and durability. Double wall is often used for industrial goods, electronics and products that require extra impact resistance.

Flutes Explained

Flutes are the ridges formed between the layers of corrugated material and come in different sizes and shapes to serve various packaging needs.

  • A Flute: The largest flute, offering excellent strength and cushioning. Ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications.
  • B Flute: Amongst the most commonly used types of cardboard used for packaging applications. Exceptionally versatile used in both die cutting and regular case-making processes. It gives good all-round performance in all types of packaging.
  • C Flute: A balanced option that provides good cushioning and stiffness, suitable for a wide range of uses.
  • E Flute: A finer flute, known for a smooth finish and better dimensional stability. Often used for lighter consumer goods.
  • BD Flute: Around 4.3mm to 4.8mm thick, BD flute combines B and D flutes into a double walled material.
  • BC Flute: This double wall material combines both B and C flutes together. This gives a good all round performance, making it common for producing shipping boxes that offer a higher level of transit protection.

 

Choosing the Right Corrugated Solution

Selecting the appropriate board grade, construction and flute type helps your packaging meet both your protective needs and environmental standards. Corrugated boards provide not only durability but also sustainability, as according to FEFCO, corrugated board is one of the most recycled materials in Europe, with an impressive 89% recycling rate. This ensures that the majority of corrugated products are recovered and reused, contributing significantly to a circular economy, helping businesses reduce waste, lower carbon footprint, and meet increasing demands for eco-conscious operations.

Additionally, many boards are biodegradable, breaking down naturally without harming the environment, a win-win for businesses and the planet.

Packaging Trends 2025

Posted on by definitionconsulting

It’s guaranteed that we will see industries change their packaging in 2025 to avoid additional costs and remain profitable. With new regulations, economic pressures, and sustainability goals shaping this movement, let us discuss what is driving these upcoming changes and what businesses are doing to stay resilient and environmentally responsible.

What will affect trends

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)

EPR mandates that producers bear the financial and operational responsibility for the disposal of packaging waste. In the UK, EPR regulations are set to take effect from January 2025, introducing revised recycling targets through to 2030. Cardboard is naturally recyclable and aligns well with EPR requirements, making it a more compliant and cost-effective choice compared to plastic. If you are a manufacturer, here’s what you need to know about EPR.

Economic Environment

The UK’s economy is experiencing notable changes, with inflation forecasted to stay above the Bank of England’s target until late 2026, this is driven by rising business costs and global trade disruptions. Adding to these challenges National Insurance contributions will rise from 13.8% to 15% and the National Living Wage for those aged 21 and over will increase by 6.7%. The annual wage growth is also expected to rise to 3.8% in 2025. All these factors raise operational costs, prompting companies to seek efficiencies in their packaging processes.

Sustainability Targets

Consumers and governments are intensifying their focus on environmental sustainability. Large organisations will face looming deadlines to meet their sustainability goals by 2025, driving a significant shift towards eco-friendly packaging solutions. Companies are turning to materials like cardboard, which are biodegradable, renewable and widely recyclable.

Key Packaging Trends for 2025

  1. Automation to Address Labour Costs

With rising labour expenses, automation in packaging offers a viable solution. Implementing automated systems can improve production speed, reduce errors, and achieve long-term cost savings. Panotec is one of the leading providers of automated packaging solutions, helping manufacturers produce custom-sized boxes on demand.

With various sizes depending on your production requirements, businesses can meet growing demand while maintaining cost control and consistency.

  1. Packaging Optimisation

Packaging optimisation focuses on reducing material waste and improving design functionality. This can be highlighted in Ribble’s Right Size packaging, which is designed specifically for each product, minimising empty space in the box and reducing the need for filler materials. This approach not only lowers packaging costs but also significantly reduces the risk of damage during transportation, ensuring that products reach customers intact and undamaged.

Additionally, Right Size packaging streamlines production by enabling on-demand creation. This helps free up valuable warehouse space and increases the overall packaging process, contributing to a more efficient supply chain.

  1. Transition to Cardboard and Paper Packaging

With EPR regulations increasing the cost of plastic waste management, the shift to cardboard and paper-based packaging is rising. Cardboard packaging aligns with these requirements as it is renewable, recyclable and widely accepted by both industrial and municipal recycling systems.

The Future of Packaging with Ribble

Ribble’s expertise in corrugated cardboard solutions provides businesses with options that meet regulatory demands while supporting sustainability goals. From recyclable shipping boxes to bespoke cardboard designs, businesses can replace plastic with eco-friendly alternatives that resonate with consumers’ preferences for greener products.

What Manufacturers Need to Know About EPR

Posted on by definitionconsulting

Sustainability regulations are tightening across the UK, and for packaging, this is represented by Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), pushing retailers and manufacturers to rethink their packaging or face additional costs.

EPR is designed to shift the responsibility of dealing with packaging waste to the companies that produce or handle it. This means that businesses are now obligated to manage the full lifecycle of their packaging, from production to disposal. This is a move aimed at reducing the environmental impact of packaging waste and encouraging the use of sustainable materials. Those who don’t comply or provide inaccurate reporting could be hit with large fines.

How EPR Fees Are Calculated

Only businesses that handle over 25 tonnes of packaging per year and have a turnover of more than £1 million will be subject to EPR regulations.

The fees under EPR are based on several factors, such as the type of material used in the packaging, its weight, and the amount of packaging a company places on the market. Different materials carry different recycling costs, and the fees are reflective of the environmental impact. For example, packaging made from easily recyclable materials like paper or cardboard will incur lower fees than materials like mixed plastics.

Here’s a breakdown of the illustrative base fees for 2025-2026:

What Manufacturers Need to Know About EPR

*Table from Government website – https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/extended-producer-responsibility-for-packaging-illustrative-base-fees/extended-producer-responsibility-for-packaging-illustrative-base-fees

 

When Do EPR Fees Apply?

The EPR regulations apply from the moment packaging is placed on the UK market. For retailers, this means that the packaging used to deliver products to consumers or other businesses will now be subject to these fees. EPR will impact manufacturers, e-commerce businesses, wholesalers, and any retailer that plays a role in distributing products.

Fees will typically apply annually based on the volume and type of packaging handled by the business. Companies will need to submit reports detailing their packaging use and pay fees that cover the environmental costs of collecting, recycling, and disposing of their packaging waste.

An Update on the EPR Regulations on Packaging and what that means for you

Posted on by definitionconsulting

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has been introduced to reshape packaging waste management in the UK and Europe. If you want to understand more about how this will impact your packaging, then stick around.

As the environmental impact of packaging continues to draw public and governmental scrutiny, EPR regulations are increasingly mandating that producers take full responsibility for the lifecycle of their packaging. Effective from October 2025, these regulations are going to change how businesses approach packaging design, production and disposal.

What is EPR?

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a framework that assigns producers significant financial and physical responsibility for the treatment and disposal of post-consumer products. The primary goal of EPR is to incentivise producers to incorporate environmental considerations into the design of their products and packaging, ultimately reducing waste and promoting recycling.

Key Changes in the EPR Regulations

The upcoming EPR regulations in the UK bring several key changes that businesses need to be aware of:

  1. Producers will be required to cover the full net costs of managing packaging waste, including collection, sorting, recycling, and disposal. This includes payments to local authorities for handling household packaging waste​
  2. Companies must report on the packaging they place on the market. This data must be submitted bi-annually, covering the volume and type of packaging materials used, to ensure accurate calculation of waste management fees​
  3. Producers will need to obtain Packaging Waste Recycling Notes (PRNs) or Packaging Waste Export Recycling Notes (PERNs) as evidence that their packaging waste has been recycled. This system aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the recycling process​

    More information can be found here (GOV.UK)​​.

Impacts on Packaging Design and Materials

The new EPR regulations are set to also impact how businesses design and choose materials for their packaging. To comply with EPR standards, companies are encouraged to use sustainable and recyclable materials. This shift is driving innovation in packaging design, with many businesses exploring alternatives. In reviewing packaging, many companies have already seen a reduction in excess packaging through Right Size packaging.

While there may be initial costs associated with transitioning to sustainable packaging, the long-term benefits include reduced waste management expenses and improved resource efficiency. Additionally, compliance with EPR regulations can help companies avoid potential fines and penalties. Other benefits have shown companies that adopt sustainable packaging practices can improve their green credentials and appeal to environmentally conscious consumers, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability can differentiate a brand in a competitive market.

Practical Steps for EPR Compliance

Businesses across the UK should start by assessing their current packaging materials and practices to identify areas for improvement. Once identified, work closely with packaging suppliers to develop sustainable solutions that meet EPR standards. Suppliers like Ribble Packaging can offer expertise in optimising packaging and material selection.

Why Packaging Waste Matters: New Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Updates

Posted on by definitionconsulting

The way we package our goods can significantly contribute to a better planet, so it’s no surprise the spotlight is now on sustainability in packaging practices, with updated regulations on packaging waste set to come in October 2025.
These regulations come in the form of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), a regulatory framework aimed at changing how we approach packaging waste. Whether you’re sourcing materials domestically or relying on imports, this impending scheme is set to reshape your packaging operations.
This blog serves as an informative follow-up to our previous discussions on the topic, providing the latest updates on EPR.

Understanding EPR

At its core, EPR shifts the responsibility for packaging waste management onto producers, requiring them to bear the full cost of collection, sorting, treatment, and recycling. Recent updates to EPR regulations have brought about significant changes, including the introduction of modulated fees. The payment year has also been deferred from October 2024 to October 2025, however, businesses are still required to declare their packaging waste for 2023.
This initiative is driven by the objective of incentivising producers to limit packaging waste and enhance recyclability. This shift inevitably carries financial implications, as costs are predicted to increase. Therefore, it’s important to understand how EPR will influence your packaging operations and how you can proactively mitigate associated expenses.

Aligning Packaging Practices with EPR

EPR encourages producers to rethink packaging choices and design, urging businesses to embrace recyclable materials and eco-design principles while reducing waste. As companies gear up to comply with EPR regulations, it’s clear that innovative solutions will be essential in meeting these new standards effectively.

How sustainable is your Christmas packaging?

Posted on by definitionconsulting

It’s that time of year again. The time that we do everything in excess, from food, to spending.

But does that mean you have to have an unsustainable Christmas?

As we all know, Christmas can be a time for spending time with loved ones and exchanging gifts, but with it is estimated that around 1 in 4 households will be generating up to 5 bags of rubbish this Christmas!

Much of children’s toys are packaged in plastic or oversized packaging which is bulky and often unnecessary for the size of the present inside. On top of that, there is wrapping paper which, often, you are unable to recycle, which then doubles the amount of waste.

Let’s not forget about the Christmas dinner. Single use plastics have come to the forefront of the sustainable packaging discussion, many of which occur as a result of food packaging.

How can you make your Christmas more sustainable?

It is everybody’s responsibility, to make small changes this Christmas in an effort to reduce the amount of waste created within the household. So, we have put together a few pointers that may help you make some more sustainable choices.

Recyclable wrapping paper

If you’re unsure about what wrapping paper can be recycled and what can’t, it’s important to check with your local recycling centre. Recycle Now have some great pointers on what you can do to ensure that your paper does actually get recycled if accepted at your local centre, including:

  • Making sure all sticky tape, bows and ribbons are removed before recycling
  • Only recycling simple wrapping paper that doesn’t have any glitter or foil as these cannot be recycled.

Present sacks

Another way to reduce the waste this Christmas is to purchase some present sacks & stockings. These can be brought back out every Christmas and eliminate the need to wrap your gifts or find recyclable wrapping paper.

Food & drinks using sustainable packaging

Many supermarkets are introducing refillable packaging services within their stores and this is likely to continue. Why not check out your local supermarket to see if there are any ingredients in your Christmas dinner that could be switched out for a more sustainably packaged option?

Ribble Right Size

At Ribble our aim is to introduce Right Size packaging to more and more manufacturers so that we can help reduce the overall waste when it comes to cardboard packaging.

Packaging in 2022 – The key solutions for the New Year

Posted on by definitionconsulting

Since the beginning of the pandemic, retail has seen a significant shift to ecommerce shopping methods. With that brings increased need for additional packaging when transporting and shipping goods.

As a result, this will continue to increase the need for more sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging solutions.

We have been exploring the key packaging solutions that we believe will become increasingly popular in the new year.

Packaging Automation

With COVID 19 continuing to be a threat across the globe, the automation of packaging will continue to be important for many manufacturers and distributors. This will reduce the amount of workers needed within one space and overall costs to the business too.

Not only that, automating your process will allow the business to increase their targets, which will continue to improve efficiency.

Ecommerce Packaging

The shift in consumer behaviour since the beginning of the pandemic is highly unlikely to ever return to pre-COVID levels. As a result, consumers will continue to expect a smooth and flawless experience – from browsing their purchase to placing their order and its delivery.

This means every detail, right down to the packaging must impress. Consumers are aware of the environmental issues facing the planet and with that they expect to see changes to the ways in which their goods are packaged and delivered to them. Reducing unnecessary and excess packaging is a crucial step in that process.

Reusable Packaging

Reusable packaging has become very popular in recent years and can be seen in more and more shapes and forms. Whether that is reusable plastic for cleaning products or paper bags that can also be used as wrapping paper.

When packaging isn’t necessarily reusable, it is important for consumers that it is made from recycled materials or can be recycled once used.

Ribble Right Size

At Ribble our Right Size Packaging solutions allows you to reduce excess packaging and create a sustainable alternative that reduces costs by creating custom packaging solutions to meet your needs. We use 100% recycled cardboard that is 100% recyclable, meaning it is the perfect sustainable solution.

The benefits for choosing Right Size can be seen in the reduced need for void fillers within your boxes due to the packaging being custom created for whatever you are distributing; you can improve your vehicle utilisation by up to 25% and the creation of a more environmentally sustainable packaging process.

Get in touch today to discuss how Right Size can improve your business packaging solutions.
