Single walled boxes

What are single walled boxes?

As the name suggests a single walled box is one that comprises of a single layer of corrugate material. They are typically used to transport light and medium weight goods and can be configured into any style or design. They are constructed from three layers of paper that have then been bonded into one single sheet or board using starch. This helps to give the box its shape and definition, and the overall strength is primarily determined by the interior layer, which is called the fluting. Additional strength can be obtained by increasing the grammage of the liner papers.

Single walled cardboard boxes are one of the most effective and affordable solutions for storing and transporting light to medium weight products such as clothing, food, apparel and e-commerce items. With a typical load weighting of up to 10kg, single walled boxes are perfect for businesses looking for a short-term method of transporting goods or a secure short-term storage solution.

Single walled boxes can be created from a range of materials, but the two main types of paper used for the corrugated section is either Kraft paper or Test paper. Of these two, Kraft paper, which is manufactured from softwood trees, is the most common for the outside liner thanks to the exceptional strength that it offers. The inner liner is commonly made of recycled materials know as test paper. The fluting can be further strengthen with semi chemical fluting - made of 80% hardwood fibres and 20% softwood fibres that offers higher performance and excellent crush resistance.
