Technical guidance
What matters before production starts.
Flute direction
Corrugated board behaves differently depending on flute direction, so include orientation if the part folds or supports weight.
Prototype not certification
LCE can help cut samples and components, but packaging performance, shipping suitability and product protection remain the client's responsibility.
Crease and fold lines
Crease lines should be separated from cut lines so the job can be priced and reviewed properly.
Supplied stock
If you supply the board, include sheet size, board type, thickness, printed face and spare sheets for setup.
