Business and commercial enterprises spend a lot on shipping goods across the town or across the country. Shipping like Worldwide Shipping, Overseas Shipping, Container Shipping and International Shipping Cargo is very common now days. One way of saving money is by opting for cheap shipping boxes, which are strong and functional. Shipping boxes of different capacities and materials are plentiful in the market.

We are one of the well renowned names who are involved in supplying different types of Shipping Boxes. These shipping boxes are very well used for moving goods between countries and wooden containers or crates, for transporting heavy, awkwardly shaped goods.

The base material used in the manufacturing of these boxes is paperboard, which is similar in shape and composition to paper, but generally thicker than paper perchance with a grammage of over 600 g/m², which is made from plant fiber, rags or wood. The usage of paperboard is not restricted to the manufacture of boxes alone. It is used in coasters, insulators and advertising display. Layers of paper pasted together or pressing layers of wet paper pulp together makes pasteboard.

Shipping boxes and cartons are normally made using different types of paperboard, card stock and pasteboard. A heavy-duty paper based box goes by the generic name of cardboard box. The shipping boxes, which we have, are usually made of corrugated fiberboard and may be referred to as corrugated cardboard or plain cardboard or made of paperboard, which also goes by the name of solid board or poster board.

Corrugated cardboard boxes are stronger and more durable than flat paperboard boxes, the difference being the presence of a wavy paperboard layer called a fluted or arched paper, between two flat paperboards known as linerboards in the corrugated boxes.

Shipping boxes are made up of different combination such as the fluted layer is glued between two linerboards. At times glue and large stapler pins are used in grouping, for greater strength. A box fashioned in this way is the single wall cardboard shipping box.

A double walled box has three linerboards and two fluted papers and there is a yet another, triple walled box with four linerboards and three fluted layers for maximum strength. The box manufacturer’s certificate (BMC) printed on the bottom flap indicates the size, thickness of the cardboard and the weight it can carry. This is indicated by the ECT, the edge crush test measured in lbs per square inch or the mullen test, which measures resistance to rupture in pounds per square inch.

Besides the C-flute corrugates, which are the most commonly used shipping boxes, also available are the white corrugated mailers and boxes, cube boxes, heavy duty single walled and double walled corrugated boxes, cargo containers and wardrobe boxes. These corrugated shipping boxes are usually available in bundles of 25 and multiples thereof.

Corrugated packaging

offers a host of advantages unmatched by any other packing medium. Being collapsible and lightweight, they are easy to store and can be stacked up to heights of 30 ft, saving valuable floor space. The structural rigidity combined with the cushioning provided by the flute paper makes it a versatile packing medium. Printing product description, company logos and other required specifications on the corrugated boxes is easy. Old corrugated containers or OCC as the recyclers call the used corrugated boxes, is the most recycled, eco-friendly product.
