Double Wall Boxes

It is not uncommon for businesses and industrial users to become frustrated with their double wall boxes.

Frequently this is because they source from a packaging merchant or online seller offering corrugated packaging in a range of stock sizes.

While this is certainly a low-cost way of sourcing your transit packaging, it has several inherent problems. These issues increase your ongoing costs (particularly when compared with custom-sized packaging).

Firstly, using a stock-sized double wall carton means selecting a slightly larger size than you require. This requirement is so your products/parts fit. You then pay to ship this excess, wasted space. You are also likely to fill this with secondary packaging such as paper void fill (at further cost).

Levels of transit protection are also likely to be lower. Plus, space within the boxes can also affect load stability and stacking performance.

GWP take a different approach. You can source custom double wall boxes designed and optimally sized for your product or application. Your bespoke packaging can also include calculating the optimum material grade, tailoring the size, and analysing stacking strength requirements. You can, of course, even enhance your packaging with print and additional coatings.

Even if you can see the advantages of custom transit packaging, why should you consider double wall boxes specifically?

The durable material means provides considerably higher protection for your products in transit. Double wall boxes for shipping maintain their rigidity and shape much better – even after poor handling – protecting their contents.

It also ensures your packaging looks much better on arrival with your customers. This improved presentation, in turn, reflects well on your business and brand reputation.

Double wall packaging can also be stacked more safely, protecting your items. However, this improved stacking performance also improves safety for your packing or warehouse staff. These cartons are perfect for use as pallet optimised boxes for export/bulk shipping.

The material’s strength also allows the manufacture of extra-large double wall boxes. These are ideal for oversized products or equipment, particularly in industrial sectors.

Your double wall cardboard boxes can be supplied flat for minimised transit and storage costs. Alternatively, they can be delivered fully assembled to improve packing times. This latter point is beneficial if your packs contain foam end caps, dividers or other inserts.

Ultimately, their use is widespread for industrial packaging applications. Their ability to safely transport up to 30 kg in weight (or more, depending on the box design and specific corrugated grade) makes them ideal for transit packaging.

They are also a great choice – and rapidly growing in popularity for – eCommerce packaging applications.
