Double Wall Boxes & Cartons

How do I measure a box?

Box measurements are always show as the internal dimensions, so that you can easily calculate whether your items will fit within it.

Box dimensions are shown as : Length x Width x Height

Measurements are shown in millimetres (mm) for greater accuracy.
Length = this is the longest side when looking at the base of the box.
Width (or Breadth) = this is the shortest side when looking at the base of the box.
Height (or Depth) = this is the measurement from the base to the top.

What size will I need for my items?

Firstly, we recommend using a tape measure for accuracy.
Arrange the items or items as if you were putting them in a box and then measure the length, width, and height of the items together. This will help give you the internal dimensions need to box the items.

Don’t forget to allow space for as much protective packaging (ie void fill, paper, bubble wrap etc) to surround and protect your items. This protective packaging will help keep your items more secure in transit or storage and help protect against damage.

Also, don’t forget to note which way you are placing the items, so that you can judge the length, width and height in the right order.

What type of box do I need?

There is a wide range of box types available and your choice should be made by considering what fits your items most appropriately, the weight of the product and what the box will be used for eg storage, posting, shipping, transportation, stacking etc.

Single, double, and triple wall boxes are some of the most common types of box and provide a range of strength, durability and rigidity that will help you decide what’s best for your items.

What is a double wall box?

Double wall boxes provide greater strength or rigidity in the cardboard and are ideal choices when you need to box heavier items. They can be used for longer term storage, house removals, longer shipping or transportation journeys, and have a greater strength for stacking.

Double wall boxes are made using two layers of corrugated fluted cardboard, with a lining piece between the fluting (wavy) sections – thus having five layers of paper in total. This combination gives added stability and strength to the cardboard, making it more robust and durable.

The double wall feature also provides greater protection and shock absorption in the box.
