The laminating process creates a broad and extremely strong medium for corrugated products at a significant cost saving over other commercially available products that involve producing a triple layer corrugated board during the corrugating process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Much to the delight of or customers, we can offer Quattro board as an option most of our corrugated packaging products including hat bins, pallet boxes and cardboard fruit bins; as well as cardboard cartons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quattro 4-layer corrugated board is able to be flexo-graphically printed like any other corrugated cardboard. Stitching and gluing is recommended on seals to take advantage of the great strength available from the material.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Contact the SPS sales team for more information regarding the material and its application.&lt;/p&gt;
