 Corrugated
plastic is an extruded material similar in appearance to corrugated paper. Both
upper and lower surfaces are supported by fluted ribs. Several thicknesses are
available, from light pliable sheet to heavy duty stiff "boards".
 |
|
The
material is available in polypropylene or polyethylene. Melmat, Inc. stocks
only polypropylene because it is preferred for most applications. Thicknesses
available are from 2mm to 10mm.
The stock material is treated for UV
resistance; flame retardant, anti-static and conductive sheet are available.
The sheet is corona treated, which provides an excellent surface for screen
printing and other decoration methods.
|
Fluted
plastic sheet offers several advantages over corrugated paper, solid plastic
sheet, and other sheet materials. It is light weight, yet tough and abrasion
resistant. Polypropylene has excellent chemical resistance and is unaffected by
water.
|
Melmat,
Inc. offers the converting methods of die cutting, scoring and ultra-sonic
welding.
|
There
are many standard products made from fluted plastic, but uses are limited only
by the imagination of the designer.

Regular
Slotted Container (RSC)
The RSC is the most common container. The flaps meet at the center and can be
taped. This container ships flat, making it less expensive on freight. |
 |
Half Slotted
Container (HSC)
Same as a Regular Slotted Container without top flaps.
Shown here with optional DST lid. Both ship flat and can be assembled in
seconds. |
 |
Full Overlap
(FOL)
Flaps reach the opposite side of length panels providing added strength to the
box. When laying on its largest panel, the flaps provide added strength for
stacking. Can be shipped flat. |
 |
Roll End Lock
Front (RELF)
This box sets up easily. The sides are folded over and tab lock into
place. The lid comes over the front of the box closing with cherry locks. Ships
flat. |
 |
Design Style
Tray (DST)
The DST has flaps on both sides and ends that are folded to make a tray. The
tray can be used by itself or can be used as the lid to an HSC. |
 |
Roll End Tray
(RET)
The RET tab locks into place when the sides are rolled over. Can be used as a
lid or a tray. Ships flat. |
 |
Shelf Bin
Shelf Bins are ideal for small inventory parts. Self locking by folding over
ends and securing with tab locks that can be welded. Ships flat or setup ready
to use. |
 |
Nestable
Totes
Nestable totes are ideal for conveyors, mail rooms and large inventory items.
Can be nested to save space. Ship set up and ready to use. |
 |
Portfolios
and Cases
Portfolios and cases are lightweight and durable. They can be used to carry
artwork and presentation materials. |
 |
Partitions
Partitions provide a great way for multiple items to be
shipped in a container without the fear of breakage. Partitions separate and
protect fragile items within a box. |
 |
Layer Pads
Layer pads are used as horizontal dividers. |
|
 |

Durability/weather resistant/lightweight, corrugated
plastic sheet has the advantage over corrugated paper. Corrugated plastic items
last for many years, in most applications.
The United States Postal Service has used corrugated
plastic trays and nesting totes for years, with many of the original items
still in service.
Corrugated plastic does not absorb water or oil and is
dust-free, making the material ideal for use in pharmacies and other places
where cleanliness is important.
A few items, or thousands, corrugated plastic, cut and
fabricated by Melmat, Inc. will provide utility and superior appearance.
