Cardboard boxes form the backbone of most of the world’s logistical supply chains. They’re inexpensive, eco-friendly and they can pack a lot in to their paper-based construction. This blog will serve as a quick and easy guide to the different types of boxes and their various uses – from commercial to home use and beyond.
Single wall vs double wall
Looking to buy cardboard boxes but unsure which type is best for your needs? We stock both single wall and double wall boxes, the latter twice as strong as the former. Single wall boxes are best used for moving documents – so consider investing in a large amount of single wall small cardboard boxes if you’re a company in the midst of a tricky office move – as they’re lightweight and are easy to store, meaning they can come in handy at a later date.
Large cardboard boxes tend to be double walled – these are used for moving slightly more heavy duty items such as computer equipment or weighty books. Think of the second corrugated paper wall as an insurance policy, as there’s nothing worse than a box breaking and its valuable cargo smashing on the floor. With twice the protection, you can have peace of mind that you have the best box for the job. These boxes are also very hardy, so you can be sure that if you place something into long-term storage, it’ll be safe and secure when you might need it again.
Custom boxes: a great option
A customised box can make the difference between your product sticking in the memories of your customers and it slipping out of mind. For businesses that primarily interact with their customers on the doorstep, such as meal kit suppliers and other subscription services, an eye-catching box is absolutely essential – as not only does it look great for the consumer, but it’ll look inviting and aesthetically appealing to whoever sees it.
Consider combining custom cardboard packing boxes with coloured tape to make whatever’s inside seem even more exciting!
Buy in bulk for a business
Once you’ve settled on where to buy cardboard boxes for your business, make sure you order plenty in bulk to insure yourself against a situation where you run out of these vital components in any business. They arrive flat, so they’re super easy to store if not needed immediately, and only require the most basic of assembly involving packing tape, so upon delivery, you can be packing up and moving very quickly.
