Getting the best result from your Graphic Corflute

6 mins read 16 February 2024
Why choose Corex Corflute®?

Not all twin-wall plastic sheets are the same. There is only one Corflute®.

Corflute® is a proprietary product manufactured by Corex Australia. Manufacturing products in Australia assists in reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption compared with imported twin-wall plastic alternatives.

We are different to other suppliers. We are the only twin-wall plastic sheet manufacturer with a closed-loop approach to production. Last year we recycled 500 tonnes* of waste materials returned to us from people using Corflute® in signage and display applications.

We encourage people to bring Corflute® back to Corex Recycling for reuse in new products.

It is in our DNA to reuse and recycle all materials that we produce and we only manufacture materials that can be recycled by Corex Recycling.

Support us to do the best by the environment by choosing Corex Corflute®.

What is the best Corflute® solution for printing?

Are you a graphic solutions provider and new to Corflute®? Or perhaps you have changed your print set up or purchased a new digital printing press and want to ensure optimum speed and quality performance?

Not all Corflute® is the same!

We manufacture Corflute® to order on site here in Dandenong South, Victoria. When you order your media from us, we aim to deliver you a product that is 100% aligned to your production needs to ensure that you can maximise the Corflute® that you print on.

There are many variables that help us to make the best product for you and it starts with understanding your capabilities and quality requirements. How we manufacture Corflute® can affect production efficiency and in turn, cost to you.

Specifying your Corflute®

Partnering with our experienced team at Corex, means that you will receive the best Corflute® for your business.

Here are some of the questions that we run through to help us to manufacture the best Corflute® sheet for your business.

  1. What is the application? e.g. temporary signage, permanent signage, POS display.
  2. Are you using the Corflute product indoors or outdoors?
  3. Are you screen printing or digitally printing?
  4. What printing presses will you use?
  5. Are you printing on both sides?
  6. Are you performing a full-colour print? This helps us to understand if absolute squareness is required and dyne coverage required of the surface.
  7. Are you trimming the edges or using as is in a fixed frame?
  8. What is the maximum length variation you can cope with?
  9. What limitations do you have regarding sheet flatness. Is it critical and why? E.g. Digital press needs sheet can be vacuumed and held flat on bed.
  10. We usually extrude Corflute® with the “flutes” running in the longest dimension. Please let us know if you would like long flute or short flute.
  11. Are you adding eyelettes, die or table cutting, creasing, making a product from Corflute etc?
  12. Would you like to be a Corflute Recycling Program Partner? Exclusive to all printers and distributors of Corflute® or PROMEG® polypropylene. We take your materials back to be reused in our recycled range of sheet and products.
