Heavy Duty Cardboard Boxes

Heavy duty corrugated packaging boxes are designed to give extreme levels of protection in transit and is often used for heavy, fragile, bulky or high value products in UK.

Predominantly made from double or triple wall corrugated board, heavy duty cardboard packaging boxes can also incorporate a range of additional materials to support the supply chain requirements including foam, plastics, polystyrene, plywood and timber.

Heavy-duty corrugated packaging is designed to provide the required amount of strength, stability and insulation to meet the physical requirements of your supply chain whether by road or air. The design of the pack, in combination with the selection of the most appropriate materials, ensures your products arrive at their destination in optimal condition.

Heavy-duty packaging provides a cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional timber or metal packaging.

What’s the difference between a single-wall, double-wall and triple-wall box?

The main difference between single-wall, double-wall and triple-wall boxes is their construction and strength. A single-wall box is the standard box type, strengthened with two sheets of glued liner board.

A double-wall box is slightly stronger and is a heavy-duty option, strengthened with three sheets of glued liner board.

A triple-wall box is an industrial-weight box, strengthened with four sheets of liner board.
