Corrugated Cardboard

Corrugated cardboard is a lightweight, durable, and recyclable packaging material consisting of a corrugated inner layer (flute) bonded to flat outer surfaces. It serves as the primary packaging material for a wide range of industries, from shipping boxes and industrial packaging to furniture protection and automotive parts logistics.

At Haskutu, we produce corrugated cardboard 24/7 at our factory in Sincan, Ankara. We offer direct delivery from the factory in widths ranging from 700 mm to 2,500 mm, with B, C, H, BC, EB, and HE corrugation profiles.

Corrugated cardboard is a lightweight and durable packaging material consisting of a corrugated inner layer combined with flat outer surfaces. The most common form used in industrial applications is Z-flute corrugated cardboard (Fanfold Carton / Endless Sheet): an accordion-folded format that is continuously produced and can be cut to the desired size on-site. Haskutu is the leading company in Turkey producing this product.

PRODUCTION

During the manufacturing process, raw paper is shaped into a corrugated (fluted/corrugated) form using high temperatures and steam.

This corrugated layer is bonded by pressing it between sheets of flat paper glued to both sides using starch.

The resulting corrugated structure provides significantly higher resistance to pressure and impact compared to flat paper of the same thickness.

Wave profile — the corrugation height, identified by codes such as B, C, H, E, BC, EB, and HE — determines the product’s thickness, durability rating, and intended application.

Choosing the right profile directly affects shipping damage, warehouse space utilization, and packaging costs.

Looking for Corrugated Cardboard? Discover Z Cardboard

Standard corrugated cardboard is cut to specific dimensions and delivered in sheets or boxes. For businesses that package products in various sizes, this means maintaining separate inventory items for each size, requiring significant warehouse space, and resulting in waste.

Z-Folded Cardboard (Endless Sheet / Fanfold Cardboard) solves this problem once and for all.

Z-Folded Cardboard is produced by folding corrugated cardboard into a Z-shape during manufacturing, rather than cutting it to size, resulting in long rolls in an accordion-like form. Known as “Fanfold Carton” in Europe and the United States, this product is also referred to as “Sonsuz Levha” in Turkey. Our company, which played a pioneering role in the production of this product in Turkey, named it Z-Folded Cardboard.

You can cut it to the size you need on-site. With a single stock item, you can accommodate dozens of different product sizes.

QUALITY UNDERSTANDING

At our ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001-certified production facility, every batch of raw materials and finished products undergoes the following tests.

Grammage Test

The mass of 1 m² of paper in grams (g/m²)

COBB Test

The amount of water absorbed by 1 m² of paper over a specific period of time — an indicator of moisture resistance

ECT — Edge Crush Resistance

Resistance to crushing under pressure parallel to the flanges — stacking strength (kN/m)

FCT — Surface Crush Strength

Groove flexibility and impact absorption capacity under normal pressure (kPa)

Humidity Test

Moisture content of the paper (%) — an indicator of durability under storage and shipping conditions

These tests provide concrete evidence that Haskutu meets supplier audit requirements in B2B procurement processes. You can submit your technical specification requests during the bidding phase.

Corrugated Cardboard (Z-Fold Cardboard) FAQs

What is the difference between corrugated cardboard and Z-flute cardboard?

Corrugated cardboard is a general term for a material; it can be produced in sheet, box, or roll form. Z-Cardboard, on the other hand, is a specialized form of corrugated cardboard produced by folding it into a Z-shape during manufacturing—without cutting it to size—to create long lengths in an accordion-like configuration. It allows you to package products of various sizes using a single stock item.

The minimum order quantity for Z-flute corrugated board is 2,000 m². This may vary depending on the corrugation profile and order configuration. Please use the contact form for specific details.

We manufacture B, C, H, BC, EB, and HE wave profiles. Each profile has different linear measurements per pallet, applications, and strength properties; we will work with you to determine the most suitable profile for your products.

Yes. With our flexographic printing option, we offer printing in up to two colors. For orders requiring printing, the delivery time may be slightly longer than for unprinted production; our sales team will clearly specify the delivery time during the ordering process.

Delivery times are much shorter for orders that do not require printing. For printed orders, a new Z-Card can typically be produced within 7–10 business days. For shorter delivery times in urgent situations, please contact our sales team.

The ECT (Edge Crush Test) is a testing method that evaluates the edge load-bearing capacity of corrugated cardboard, while the FCT (Flat Crush Test) assesses its surface crush resistance. Our ISO-certified production and the quality tests conducted in our in-house laboratory meet these standards. Please specify your technical specifications during the quotation phase.

Yes. We deliver to all provinces in Turkey from our factory in Sincan, Ankara, via our logistics network.
