Cardboard boxes and packaging
If you need sustainable, cost-effective, visually appealing packaging that reliably protects in transit, then there is only one choice: corrugated packaging.
Corrugated packaging is any box, tray, carton, or container made using corrugated cardboard. Its strength, light weight, print options, and flexibility in terms of size and style make corrugated cardboard boxes and packaging popular for eCommerce, industrial, and retail applications. It is also easy to recycle and biodegradable.
As experienced corrugated box manufacturers, we can offer your business a wide range of benefits. Our designers allow you to choose a specific size, strength, print type, and pack design that is precisely tailored to your industry, product, and application. We can also help you prevent damage in transit, speed up packing times, grow sales, and even reduce warehousing requirements.

Corrugated packaging FAQs
What is meant by the term corrugated packaging?
Corrugated packaging is commonly used to describe boxes and packaging manufactured from cardboard. The “corrugated” part of this comes from the corrugated paper that gives the material its strength and properties.
What types of corrugated packaging are there?
There is a wide range of corrugated packaging types. These include everything from simple mailers and cartons through printed eCommerce and retail packaging to highly engineered protective transit packaging. For most applications, there will be a suitable form of corrugated packaging.
Can my corrugated packaging be enhanced in any way?
You can choose to enhance your business’ corrugated packaging in several ways. Options include adding a range of inserts and dividers, tamper-evident features, and even specialist coatings to provide water-resistant or anti-static (amongst other) properties.
Can my corrugated boxes be printed?
All corrugated boxes that GWP Packaging manufactures can be custom-printed to your requirements. This includes anything from simple, one-colour logos to full-colour, photographic-quality imagery. We can also accurately match Pantone colours.
How is corrugated packaging manufactured?
At GWP, we use several different manufacturing techniques, all of which involve highly skilled staff and cutting-edge equipment. These include die-cutting, case-making, multi-point glueing, hand-finishing, and more.
Are these corrugated boxes suitable for eCommerce?
GWP manufactures a wide range of boxes that are perfect for any business selling online. Our eCommerce packaging protects your items in transit and helps you impress your customers.
Can I purchase a single cardboard box?
GWP are business/trade suppliers of packaging. This means that we regrettably cannot supply one-off or very low volumes of packaging to individuals. For requirements such as this, we recommend searching for an online shop. If you are in any doubt, however, please do not hesitate to ask, as we will be happy to advise on the best solution for you.
Can I choose custom corrugated packaging?
As a manufacturer, all of the packaging that GWP supplies is tailored to your exact requirements. We create the sizes, style, design, print and any inserts entirely bespoke to ensure the optimum performance levels for your specific application.
