Fluted (corrugated) Polypropylene (PP) sheet, a polyolefin product, is a lightweight material known for its versatility across many industries and applications. Fluted PP is used in Graphic Arts, Packaging, Agriculture, Automotive and Industrial markets. Common applications include signage, trade show and retail displays, binding/stationery, crates, as separators or liners in packaging and vehicle trunk liners.
Sturdy, reusable, recyclable, returnable, waterproof fluted polypropylene shipping containers are superior to corrugated paper and perfect for fresh-cut asparagus and celery, vine-picked grapes, and ice-packed corn and broccoli. Polypropylene offers good resistance to chemical or acid attacks and has low moisture absorption and superior electrical insulation. Contact us today to find the perfect material for your project!
