A system and method for producing a board product characterized by having two corrugated mediums and at least one embossed medium in the board product. The board product may further include one or more facings that are adhesively coupled to either the corrugated medium, the embossed medium, or both. Generally speaking, a corrugated medium may be characterized as a paper product that exhibits flutes induced by a cross-corrugating process such that the induced flutes are perpendicular (or at least not congruent) with the machine direction of the paper product. An embossed medium may be characterized as a paper product that exhibits flutes induced by a linear-embossing process such that the induced flutes are aligned with the machine direction of the paper product. A resultant board product is stronger and more efficiently produced because of the linearly-embossed medium harnessing the natural strength of the paper in the machine direction.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A FACING FOR A BOARD PRODUCT WITH STRATEGOCALLY PLACED SCORES
A system and method for producing a board product made from paper products that have a pre-scored facing in addition to a medium (sometimes called fluting). Conventional corrugated board may feature a cross-corrugated medium and one or more facing that have no score lines that are impressed (at least prior to assembly with the corrugated medium). Such a conventional board product may be inferior because any score lines that are impressed will damage the underlying corrugated medium in some manner. A breakdown in the strength of the underlying medium leads to poor precision when the eventual board product is scored, cut, and folded. A lack of precision in folding a board product leads to gap variation and fishtailing as any articulated portion of the board product may not maintain a precise plane of articulation when folded.
A system and method for producing a board product made from paper products that have embossed medium that features an improved structural profile. The improved structural profile may include a triangular flute pattern wherein each flute may exhibit a first linear leg support and a second linear leg support that each support a center apex structure. The apex may have a substantially flat portion that is configured to engage a facing. As such, the board product may further include one or more facings that are adhesively coupled to the embossed medium. Further, the apex of each "triangle" may also have a groove or channel for receiving an adhesive in a continuous and uniform manner.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN ARTICULATING BOARD PRODUCT HAVING A FACING WITH SCORE LINES IN REGISTER TO FLUTING
A system and method for producing a board product made from paper products that have a pre-scored facing in addition to a medium (sometimes called fluting). Conventional corrugated board may feature a cross-corrugated medium and one or more facing that have no score lines that are imprinted (at least prior to assembly with the corrugated medium). Such a conventional board product may be inferior because any score lines that are imprinted will damage the underlying corrugated medium in some manner. A breakdown in the strength of the underlying medium leads to poor precision when the eventual board product is scored, cut, and bent. A lack of precision in folding a board product is known as fishtailing as any articulated portion of the board product may not maintain a precise plane of articulation when bent. Hence, the articulated portion "fishtails" out of alignment. Having precisely located impression Sines in register to underlying flutes of a medium ensures correct and precise articulation.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INDUCING FLUTING IN A PAPER PRODUCT BY EMBOSSING WITH RESPECT TO MACHINE DIRECTION
A system and method for inducing fluting in paper aligned in a machine direction of the paper while the paper is being fed through the board-making machine in the machine direction. In an embodiment, a method of producing the medium for a board product includes unwinding paper from a paper roil in a machine direction that is naturally aligned with the machine direction of the paper. Then, an embossing or scoring stage embosses or scores the paper with fluting that is also aligned with the machine direction of the paper. The resultant fluted paper has flutes that are aligned with underlying fibers of the paper, thereby taking advantage of the natural strength of the aligned fibers in the machine direction of the paper. Further, embossing or scoring paper for fluting greatly reduces take-up when such a fluted medium is compared to a facing that may be combined with the fluting to yield a board product. Further, maximum combined board strength is realized when ail underlying fibers of ail participating papers are aligned in MD and flute direction.
