Don’t Take Chances With Cheap Cardboard Boxes

It’s often said that if it sounds too good to be true it is, and that also applies to cheap cardboard boxes. Often a cheap price tag can indicate cheap quality, to put it another way – just because something’s cheap, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s worth buying!  

 

Cardboard boxes come in many shapes, sizes and board grades, so when you’re purchasing your packaging, you need to be sure that what you’re buying is what you need. It’s no good saving money by purchasing cheap cardboard boxes if they’re not strong enough to protect the contents and then having to pay even more to replace damaged orders. Before you buy your packaging there are a few things you can do to check that you aren’t wasting your money on cheap cardboard boxes:

  • Check that your supplier uses high-quality board for their boxes
  • Ask if you’ll get your money back if you’re not 100% satisfied with your boxes

Here at Davpack, we do both! As one of the UK’s leading packaging specialists, we take pride in offering the best possible value for money – but not at the cost of providing a quality product that will do the job that you need it to do. All our cardboard boxes are manufactured using high-grade corrugated board (find out more about the specifics of cardboard properties here) so they are sturdy and built for commercial use. Many are even made on our own premises so that we know we are supplying high-quality boxes.  

Single, Double or Triple Wall Boxes? 

Deciding which type of box to use is equally as important as making sure that your cardboard boxes are of high quality. Cardboard boxes can generally be broken down into 3 categories, single wall boxes, double wall boxes and triple wall boxes. Below is a summary of each of the types of boxes:     

As you can see, different types of boxes can hold different amounts of weight and the more walls a box has the more protection and shock absorption it can provide your products. This makes it important when considering which cardboard box is most suitable for you as going for cheap cardboard boxes just to save money might end up costing you more in the long run.
