CREATE YOUR PERFECT PACKAGING!
step 01
think about your product
What are the characteristics of your product?
How would you like to pack it? In a box, tray or display?
Or do you dare to try something more creative?
Think outside the box!
Step 02
Choose the type of paper
National
All paper that has its manufacturing process within Mexican territory.
Imported
Paper that comes from abroad, regardless of the country.
Virgin
The fiber used for the production of this type of paper comes from wood cellulose.
Recycled
Paper and wood processed as a production base, that is, it comes from recycled materials. However, this does not compromise the properties and resistance of the cardboard.
step 03
Choose the type of Liner
The liner is the layer on top of the cardboard, that is, the one we see. Printing is done on this. We offer colored liners
KRAFT or WHITE
Flute
Style
One-sided corrugated
There are several types of flutes, which are classified by their size, depending on the height and the number of waves per meter. The larger the flute, the thicker the corrugation.
These flutes are classified by letters, below we mention some of the most common.
The flutes A, C and B are commonly used for collective or master packaging boxes in which it is sought to have a high resistance to stowage and protect the product from mistreatment during its handling and shipment from the manufacturer to the retail distributor.
F flute
E flute
B flute
C flute
4.0-4.8mm
Triple corrugated
Simple corrugated
Flute A
0.75-0.90mm
1.1-1.8mm
2.1-3.0mm
Double corrugated
3.2-4.0mm
It is the result of four liners together with three grooved sheets glued in the middle of the first four. It is an extremely resistant cardboard, used for articles and tasks that involve extreme weights.
It is a rigid structure formed by a wavy element (wave) glued to two flat elements (liners).
It is a rigid structure made up of three flat elements (liners) glued to two interspersed wavy elements (waves).
It is a flexible structure formed by a glued wavy element (wave).

Steps 04 and 05
step 06
Define the Resistance
The resistance level of a corrugated cardboard package refers to the maximum load that it supports itself. This depends on the product you will pack and the size of your packaging. It is normally calculated using the McKee Formula.
The correct selection of the resistance is essential for the protection of your product and thus prevent the packaging from collapsing, guaranteeing its stowage and easy handling.
At CYCESA we handle different types of ECT resistance, the most common are:
plain corrugated
20, 23, 26, 29, 32, 40, 44
double corrugated
42, 48, 51, 61, 71, 81
The most common test for endurance is the ECT (Edge Crush Test). Which is used to measure the ability of a box or packaging to withstand compression along the axis of the flutes.
Define if your packaging requires special treatment
step 07
You can choose more than one treatment!
Normally these treatments are for food packaging that requires refrigeration.
MichelMan
It serves to seal the flute and close the pore, which prevents excessive moisture absorption.
Resin
It serves to anchor the flute more strongly to the liners. This reduces the chance that they will come unstuck with moisture.
Waxed
Special for food or products that are frozen inside the box. It is also used in case of placing ice directly on the product inside the box.
30%
of companies globally reported an increase in revenue after improving product packaging.
A study in the USA showed that the
67%
of consumers prefer paper and cardboard packaging.
40%
of consumers post photos to their social media accounts of products with unique and branded packaging.
Step 08
LET'S MAKE IT SEXY
Our design team supports you in all stages of creating your packaging. Including, of course, the print design.
Perfect to stand out in the market!
Your packaging can carry simple printing, such as a logo or text, or plastic printing, which is an extensive layer of printing.
By the color separation method, we can print up to 4 inks!
Define how you would like to receive your product
step 09
strapping
It is a process that consists of tying a load (cardboard, package) with at least two strapping loops.
Parquet
Packages accommodated on a platform (pallet) and stowed according to the
size of your product.
