Hefei Corrugated Sheet Plants Balance Domestic Appliance Mix Against Export ECT Specs
Corrugated board suppliers such as Anhui Nidelao Packaging report buyers wanting clearer ECT/FCT holds when domestic appliance sheets and export cartons share the same mill slots.
Corrugated sheet plants in Anhui and related hubs say July orders mix domestic appliance board with export carton constructions, raising substitution risk when medium is tight.
Buyers sourcing through PackTrades profiles like Anhui Nidelao Packaging are asking for written ECT/FCT holds and flute locks so “equivalent” medium swaps do not silently weaken stack performance.
Why buyers care: carton quotes tied to current mill price move between RFQ and PO if construction is not reserved.
Buyer takeaways
Ask whether board is mill-reserved or spot-purchased.
Freeze flute, liner grade, and ECT before artwork freezes.
