The Best of Both Worlds Gets Better

Innovative Packaging Corp. (IPC) introduced the United States' first G-flute material, called GrafXflüt™, in December 1997. Measured at 178 flutes per lineal flute, it is similar in structure to N-flute, but is produced on a wide-web corrugator and uses starch as an adhesive on both sides. Dave Stucker, V.P. of sales and marketing at IPC, asserts with its opportunities for high-end graphics as well as embossing, G-flute "produces … a design breakthrough for the POP and folding carton industries."
