Read on to learn all about some of the most common types of cardboard storage boxes and what they are used for.

1. Single Wall Boxes

Single wall boxes are one of the most basic types of boxes for packaging used for transporting and storing a number of products.

Simple and durable, these cardboard boxes usually come in classic box brown kraft colours and come with one layer of fluting in the middle of two flat layers. With their thin but strong layers, these cardboard storage boxes are perfect for light to mid-weight items like toys, surgical masks, small electricals and office supplies.

2. Double Wall Boxes

As the name suggests, double wall cardboard boxes come with an extra layer of fluting in order to ensure better durability, strength and protection.

These storage boxes come with three flat layers with two layers of fluting between them for extra cushioning and protection from damage. They are suitable for items that are a little too fragile and heavy to be stored and shipped in a single wall box.

3. BDCM Boxes

Bulk Distribution Carton Metric (BDCM) cardboard storage boxes are usually used for distributing clothing-based products in bulk.

They are most commonly used by the fashion industry and retail businesses to ship a large number of relatively lightweight products like packets of crisps or undergarments. BDCM boxes are large in size which allows their users to store and ship a greater amount of products using fewer boxes.

4. Postal Boxes

Often used by eCommerce businesses to ship their products, postal boxes are one of the most elegant types of cardboard storage boxes.

Available in different sizes and shapes to suit your needs best, these boxes are generally made to carry a smaller number of products. They are typically used for consumer delivery purposes and aren’t usually used while storing wholesale products. With easy assembly, these boxes can be quickly constructed from flatpack without the need for taping joins for stability and closing.

5. Pallet Boxes

Pallet boxes are fully enclosed, sturdy, pallet sized cardboard boxes with lids. They help to protect the contents of a pallet from damage during transit and storage. Made with strong cardboard, these are ideal for maximum protection of your items.

We supply quality pallet boxes in a variety of sizes, sent flat-packed, either with or without the pallet.
