How to choose the best corrugated box size
Choosing the right corrugated box size is paramount when deciding how to safely package and deliver your products.

When choosing the right corrugated box size, you must measure all the dimensions of your product and add an extra margin that will accommodate for protective wrapping.
This means that you will have to measure the length, width and height of your product, which should fit snuggly into the corrugated box. This will help to avoid unnecessary movement and prevent your product from getting damaged, which can happen if your corrugated box is too big.
What box strength do I need?

Corrugated cardboard boxes can be made to varying degrees of strength. The strength of a corrugated box is determined by the number of walls in each corrugated cardboard sheet.
Single faced corrugated cardboard is the weakest form of cardboard sheet. For transporting valuable products, it is not a viable option to use a corrugated box that’s made out of single faced sheets.
Single walled corrugated sheets are the next step up in strength. For more information on how corrugated cardboard is made, read our ‘What is Corrugated Cardboard’ blog post.
One of the best options for choosing the right corrugated box is to opt for double walled cardboard. Double walled cardboard has two layers of corrugated sheets, which offer a good level of protection yet are lightweight and flexible enough to satisfy a number of requirements.
If your products are very valuable, you could even use triple walled corrugated sheets or speak to a manufacturer, like us here at Caps Cases, to see how they can develop a unique design to match your needs.
We are more than happy to create bespoke products and offer a consultative approach to helping our customers achieve their packaging goals.
