A corrugated sheet that is single-pass embossed and diecut will suffer flute crush during that process which will impact its stacking strength. Embossing may not be suitable for all corrugated packaging. It may need to be limited for use on corrugated boxes that are being used only in folding carton style applications. If embossing without flute crush is desired, consider first embossing the top sheet then laminating it to single-face stock. Besides the cost of the additional operation, the resulting embossed image will be flattened during the lamination process resulting in a loss of embossing detail.
