A Guide to Cardboard Box Packaging
A Guide to Cardboard Box Packaging
If you’ve poured time, resources and effort into creating a product you’re proud of, you need a packaging solution that encompasses that. Sometimes a packaging solution can be an afterthought. We think it’s fundamental part of ensuring your customer gets the product delivered safely. And the humble cardboard box is a staple of the packaging process!
Whether you’re shipping electrical goods or expensive jewellery, there’s plenty to consider!
What Are Cardboard Boxes?
Cardboard Boxes, or cardboard cartons and cases, are a form of packaging that partners simple appearance with security during transit. They are simple to secure, and built from a strong material.
The strength of a Cardboard Box will depend entirely on the composite of the material it is designed from. Generally speaking a single or double wall box is used. Triple wall cardboard boxes are sometimes used for really bulky items.
Cardboard boxes are incredibly versatile! Not to mention they are an eco-friendly, cost-effective packing material.
Types Of Carboard Box Packaging:
For everyday packaging solutions, the single wall box takes the crown. Low-cost, simple and suitable for most non-fragile products, this classic cardboard box design is used across businesses everywhere.
When it comes to presentation and performance, these boxes can definitely be trusted to deliver. Made from a single sheet of strong rigid flute corrugated board, this cardboard box provides security for more items.
Combining this secure cardboard box with our fantastic range of Protective Packaging offers additional protection.
Double wall boxes are a better solution for tougher packaging jobs. Having a double wall construction means they can bear more weight per box.
They are manufactured from durable Kraft papers and are also available in a large array of sizing options. For long-term storage options, these cardboard boxes are often the more effective solution. As they are more rigid, they can take some knocks!
Pallet cases are fantastic for sending multiple packages at once to a further afield destination. Often, combining packages in one place can end up being cheaper than shipping individual cardboard boxes.
If your package also exceeds regular parcel limitations then a pallet case can be used to bypass these.
Our pallet cases offer a heavy-duty & durable packing solution. We even manufacture them from water-resistant, double wall, corrugated board! The sleeves can be cut down to accommodate varying load heights too.
Book box mailing packs are specifically designed to be sent through the post. They are ideal for mailing books, diaries, catalogues and many other similarly sized items.
Did you know that our range of book boxes don’t require the use of tape? Every pack comes with a self-adhesive strip, which ensures speed and ease of closure. This packaging solution is a fantastic way to ensure your customer gets their product in a neat and professional-looking package.
We stock a wide range of sizes available for next working day delivery too!
