A corrugated box is often referred to as a cardboard box. In reality, a corrugated box is a totally different animal. Here are some facts about corrugated boxes you may not have known about.
What a Corrugated Box is
A corrugated box is made of multiple layers. These layers provide extra strength and durability. Strength and durability help to protect items during shipment and ensure the boxes can withstand moisture and extreme weather conditions.
Who Uses Corrugated Boxes
Many industries use corrugated shipping boxes, partly because they can be easily branded. Online retailers and the electronics, healthcare, industrial supply, and food industries commonly use them.
Single-Wall Corrugated Boxes
Single-wall corrugated boxes are made of two-linerboard sheets with a fluted fiberboard between them. You would use these boxes to ship lightweight items that weigh up to 25 pounds.
Double-Wall Corrugated Boxes
Double-wall corrugated boxes are made with two fluted fiberboards sandwiched between three linerboard sheets. These are used to ship things that weigh at least 25 pounds but aren’t heavy.
Triple-Wall Corrugated Boxes
Triple-wall corrugated boxes are made with three fluted fiberboards set among four linerboard sheets. These sturdy boxes suit shipments weighing up to 300 pounds. Obviously, the triple-wall corrugated boxes are less flexible than the other two options.
