R-Flute: Innovation for Retail Packaging

R-Flute® is another DS Smith innovation: corrugated fluting developed especially for retail sales. R-Flute takes up nearly 27% less space than a standard B-Flute. Why pay to ship and warehouse empty air?

The opportunity to do more from less.

R-Flute is a radical breakthrough towards more sustainable packaging. R-Flute was developed to help reduce costs throughout your supply chain.

Compared to the widely used B-Flute, R-Flute delivers an improved printing surface, machine line efficiencies and dramatic savings in logistics, while continuing to offer comparable performance characteristics.

R-Flute is widely used for e-commerce, retail-ready-packaging (RRP), shelf-ready-packaging (SRP) and consumer-facing packaging.
