Corrugated plastic boxes
If you use single-trip packaging at your business, you should strongly consider whether reusable Correx® boxes would be a more cost-effective and sustainable option.
Correx® boxes, made from corrugated plastic, are a durable alternative to cardboard packaging. They are available in the same styles and designs as cardboard boxes, but with added strength and water resistance. As such, Correx® boxes are reusable, easy to clean, and offer excellent longevity to reduce overall costs.
At GWP, we are the UK’s largest independent designer and manufacturer of Correx® packaging, bins, totes and boxes. Our in-house team, with specific knowledge of the nuances of Correx® material, can create custom corrugated plastic boxes tailored precisely to your requirements.

FAQs
Are Correx® boxes better than cardboard packaging?
Whilst Correx® allows the manufacture of many of the same products as cardboard (particularly die-cut packaging), it has several inherent advantages. These benefits include a much longer lifespan, greater strength, smooth surfaces that are easy to clean, and resistance to water, grease, and chemicals. However, cardboard boxes are lower-cost and better suited to single-trip applications.
Are Correx® boxes recyclable?
Being manufactured from polypropylene, you can typically recycle Correx® boxes at the end of their usable lifespan. However, the material is not commonly accepted in kerbside recycling and instead requires processing at specialist recycling centres.
Are Correx® boxes reusable?
One of the main benefits of Correx® boxes is that you can reuse them hundreds of times. This durability – and often the ability to fold flat for the return journey – can mean that plastic corrugated boxes frequently have a lower environmental impact and overall cost than single-trip corrugated packaging.
Can Correx® boxes be printed?
You can print Correx® boxes in several ways, including simple screen printing (for one- or two-colour logos) and full-colour digital print. Using a printed Correx® box allows you to add your branding, safety information, and other instructions.
Are Correx® boxes waterproof?
Correx® material is water-resistant, making Correx® boxes “weatherproof”. However, your box’s style and design can affect whether it keeps the contents fully protected from water ingress. Fully waterproof containers are available if required.
