Five Panel Cardboard Wraps

5-panel cardboard wraps

Similar to cardboard book wraps used for eCommerce packaging applications, five panel cardboard wraps are a low-cost, simple way to pack your products.

Available in custom sizes as a single piece of corrugated material, simply place your product or part onto the board and fold the panels around and over to wrap the product completely. Packing staff then easily seal the pack with tape or strapping.

At GWP, we manufacture your panel wraps (and other boxes) to your exact specifications. Not only does this mean improved protection for your products due to a better fit, but it also minimises material usage and additional void-fill requirements. This approach can significantly reduce your shipping costs, as you are not paying for excess materials or to ship empty space.

What are cardboard panel wraps?

Panel wraps – also commonly referred to as 5-panel wraps or wraparound packaging – are essentially a low-cost pack that your staff simply wrap around your product before shipping (rather than placing your items into a pre-assembled box).

Are 5-panel wraps the same as book wraps?

Panel wraps and book wraps are effectively the same. However, book wraps are popular for eCommerce applications and, as such, may have additional features such as tear strips, tamper-evident features, and internal tabs for holding items in place. Panel wraps are primarily for industrial packaging applications.

What material are panel wraps made from?

Panel wraps are manufactured using corrugated cardboard material, but the specific grade depends on several factors. These include the size, fragility, and weight of the items you are packing, as well as the expected handling and storage processes and environments. GWP designers can recommend a suitable single or double-wall box material to ensure the optimum level of performance for your wraps.

How are panel wraps secured before shipping?

Packing staff must secure panel wraps, once assembled around your product, using packing tape, glue, or other forms of adhesive. For larger and/or heavier items, strapping or banding is another option.

Can panel wraps feature printed logos and graphics?

Cardboard panel wraps can be printed to include your company logo and branding, handling instructions, safety messages, part numbers, and any other relevant information. As the wraps are also available in both white and kraft finishes, your packaging can provide a professional or eye-catching appearance as appropriate.
