NEW Billerud Flute® lets you unlock smarter packaging designs by combining very strong fluting with very strong packaging know-how. The foundation is the product’s inherent strength, in particular its extremely high compression strength. This gives you the freedom to develop packaging that performs throughout demanding supply chains.
NEW Billerud Flute®. Strength you can trust.
Our experts bring the know-how to put that strength to work. Using science, testing and data, they’re ready to help you create packaging that performs better, costs less and has a lower climate impact. You get lighter, stronger and more efficient designs that set you apart from the competition. Excellent runnability, consistent quality and access to technical support also simplify your daily operations.

This is how you benefit
NEW Billerud Flute® brings together material strength and strong packaging know-how, creating value beyond ordinary fluting. Meet demanding packaging requirements while reducing costs and climate impact.
Unlock smarter packaging designs
The strength of NEW Billerud Flute® starts with strong, fresh wood fibers from responsibly managed forests. At our Gruvön production site, state-of-the-art headbox technology lets us maximize the strength of every fiber and achieve extremely high compression strength. This gives you the freedom to design packaging for harsh, real-life conditions.
You can also benefit from BoxLab, our science-based knowledge center for corrugated packaging. Here, you get expert advice supported by Billerud Box Design®, which calculates theoretical box performance using a database of more than 3,000 paper qualities, and True Performance, which predicts how your packaging design performs over time and under varying climate and load conditions.
Remove everything that’s not needed
The strength of NEW Billerud Flute® allows you to do more with less. By moving to lower grammages in your board where appropriate, you can reduce material use, packaging weight and climate impact without compromising finished packaging performance.
The experts within BoxLab can identify opportunities to streamline the range of paper qualities you use. Together with lightweighting, this can mean a leaner inventory, less complexity and more efficient use of warehouse space. Our sustainability experts can also guide you through requirements such as PPWR and highlight further ways to lower environmental impact.
Run your operations with confidence
Strength means little if the paper causes problems on the corrugator. NEW Billerud Flute® combines high strength with excellent runnability and consistent quality, giving you reliable converting performance without sacrificing productivity.
Laboratory testing of NEW Billerud Flute includes climate chamber testing at both 50% and 90% RH to assess strength under different humidity conditions. Converter trials have also confirmed runnability without cracking or loss of converting speed.
BoxLab is our science-based knowledge center for corrugated packaging, where material expertise, testing and advanced calculation tools come together to improve packaging performance, sustainability and cost-effectiveness.

Measure compression the right way
This white paper shows why short-span compression testing (SCT) is a more relevant method for evaluating thin, strong corrugated papers. Discover how the right measurement method can help improve paper selection, optimize box performance and reduce unnecessary costs.
