Whatever the nature of your needs, the cardboard box remains the most interesting type of packaging, both for the storage and the transport of goods. You can use a stretch film machine if you want to protect your cardboard boxes from moisture and dust.
This practical, fast and economical system helps you improve your brand image and satisfy your customers at a lower cost. Discover the following recommendations for choosing the right cardboard box.
Boxes with a different thickness for each product
Before buying your stretch film in order to properly protect your shipments or your boxes to be stored, it is recommended to discover the different criteria that will help you choose the type of cardboard box you need.
Before ordering a model of cardboard box and stretch film machine, you must consider the thickness and the most suitable format for the products to be packaged. The thickness of the cardboard depends on the number of flutes:
• Opt for a model with a flute if the weight of the articles to be packed does not exceed 30 kg. Be careful, these objects must not be fragile;
• A double corrugated cardboard box will be more suitable if your products weigh between 30 and 70 kg or if they are breakable items;
• If you need to pack very heavy goods weighing between 70 and 150 kg, take a cardboard box with triple corrugation.
As far as the format is concerned, you must base yourself on the size of the items to be packed, but also on the conditions imposed by the carrier and the shipping costs which may vary depending on the dimensions of the cardboard boxes used.
The different types of cardboard boxes available on the market
Considering the needs of the users, cardboard box manufacturers offer a wide variety of cardboard box which differs in dimensions, thickness and utility. The American box is undoubtedly the most standard packaging: available in a single flute version, it can be ordered as a double flute model. PO boxes are also very popular because they are very practical containers for sending parcels.

If you opt for cardboard boxes with a plastic bag, your goods will be protected from humidity and dust. Alternatively, you can use a stretch wrap machine to achieve the same results with simple cardboard boxes. No matter what type of cardboard box you order, you will always enjoy the benefits it offers. Light, compact, robust and resistant, but above all ecological, the cardboard box remains the most economical solution for packaging goods to be stored or transported. Quickly choose the models that suit you online, with or without a machine.
