Heavy consumer products like small appliances, hardware kits, and personal electronics are often too demanding for folding cartons, yet require far better retail graphics than direct-print corrugated boxes.
Single Face Lamination (SFL) combines a G7 offset litho-printed paperboard liner with a corrugated fluted medium (E-flute, B-flute, Micro-flute). This hybrid structure delivers photographic print reproduction alongside heavy-duty compression strength across commercial production runs.
Engineer high-graphic SFL packaging for national retail distribution.
Optimize printed liner paperboard caliper and fluted corrugated medium combinations, integrate custom structural paperboard inserts, enforce G7 Master color consistency across recurring orders, and design for maximum pallet density.
Partner with PM Packaging to engineer and manufacture commercial-scale SFL packaging.
What Is SFL Packaging?
SFL (Single Face Lamination) combines a high-resolution printed paperboard sheet with a corrugated fluted backing before die-cutting and folding.
Unlike direct flexographic printing on brown or white corrugated board, SFL utilizes offset lithographic printing on smooth paperboard liners to achieve vibrant photography, crisp typography, spot PMS colors, and foil/coating finishes.
Top commercial SFL applications:
- Consumer Electronics & Smart Home Devices
- Small Kitchen Appliances & Countertop Housewares
- Power Tools, Hardware Kits, & Replacement Components
- Automotive Aftermarket Parts & Retail Packs
- Toys, Games, & Multi-Component Entertainment Kits
- Personal Care, Hair Styling Tools, & Grooming Kits
PM Packaging specializes in Single Face Lamination (SFL) and litho-laminated corrugated packaging, offering custom structural engineering, G7 color control, and high-speed converting.
