Corrugated Boxes

Match the board to stacked warehouse loads, not just product weight. Single-wall E or B flute suits lighter retail and e-commerce shipping; double-wall BC handles heavy or stack-on-pallet loads. We confirm the board grade with an edge-crush (ECT) target and a stacked load calculation in the quotation.

E-flute (≈1.5 mm) prints finely and suits small retail shippers; B-flute balances cushioning and strength for general shipping; C-flute is the stacking workhorse. Print quality, product fragility, and pallet pattern all influence the choice — share your product and route for a recommendation.

Yes, when the construction uses food-contact compliant board and inks for direct or indirect contact as your market requires. US-bound orders follow FDA food-contact rules; EU orders follow Regulation (EC) 1935/2004. Declare the food type and temperature range so the right board and coating are specified.

RSC is the glued or taped standard shipper — cheapest per cubic volume. Mailers (roll-end tuck, one-piece folders) are self-locking unboxing-friendly shippers. Die-cut styles add inserts, handles, or windows at a higher tooling cost. We recommend based on your fulfillment workflow.

Test the complete pack — product, cushioning, and box together — against a recognized sequence such as ISTA 3A for parcel shipping. Approve a printed sample first, then run pre-shipment checks on compression, moisture, and print registration.

Corrugated is paper-based and widely recyclable, but EU PPWR rules phasing in from 2026 push minimised empty space and recyclability grades. Right-sizing boxes to the product now avoids redesign later.
