Dual-Cell Corrugated Cushion Pad

Generally, no. The accordion-style folding of the internal cells and the final friction tuck require two-handed manual assembly to manage the board's natural spring-back.

It provides comparable lateral and vertical shock absorption, but the exact performance depends heavily on the chosen board grade and flute direction. Physical drop testing with your specific product is required to validate the replacement.

The standard design consists entirely of straight, parallel creases and cuts on a rectangular blank. This allows it to be manufactured on standard slitter-scorer equipment without requiring a custom shaped cutting die.

The choice is a strict tradeoff. Heavy single-wall or double-wall board maximizes crush resistance but makes the manual folding process exhausting for operators. Thinner flutes are easier to assemble but absorb less impact energy.

The design uses a terminal tuck flap that friction-locks inside the tube. It is held closed by the spring-back tension of the internal folded cells pushing outward against the side walls.

Yes. Because the internal structural components are hidden within a master shipper, simple one-color flexographic marks like part numbers, recycle logos, or folding instructions are common and easy to add.

The pads are shipped flat on pallets. Because the continuous lid, base panels, and internal diagonal flaps are arranged end-to-end, a wide pad requires an exceptionally long blank, which may overhang standard pallets.

If the board caliper is too thick for the fold allowances, the internal cells will bow outward. This prevents the continuous lid from wrapping squarely and causes the terminal tuck flap to constantly pop open.
