Tips for Choosing the Right Type of Cardboard Box for Packing
jenis kardus yang tepat

In the world of shipping and logistics, choosing the right packaging is just as important as the item being shipped. Cardboard boxes are among the most commonly used packaging materials because they are practical, lightweight, and cost-effective. However, not all cardboard boxes are created equal. Each type offers different levels of strength and protection, depending on your packing needs.

Here’s a breakdown of the most commonly used types of cardboard boxes and when to use each one:

1. Single Wall Corrugated Box

Features:

  • Made with one layer of fluted paper sandwiched between two flat linerboards.
  • Commonly used for lightweight or non-fragile items.

Best for:

  • Items like clothing, accessories, cosmetics, or documents.
  • Short-distance deliveries or shipments that don’t require heavy handling.

2. Double Wall Corrugated Box

Features:

  • Contains two layers of fluted paper and three linerboards.
  • Stronger and more resistant to pressure than single wall boxes.

Best for:

  • Heavier items or those needing extra protection, such as electronics, glassware, or bulk products.
  • Long-distance shipping or inter-island deliveries.

3. Heavy-Duty Box

Features:

  • Often made from double or triple wall corrugated board.
  • Designed to withstand heavy loads and extreme handling conditions.

Best for:

  • Industrial goods, small machinery, or high-value items that must be protected from pressure and impact.
  • Ideal for sea freight or air freight where packages may experience rough handling.

Additional Tips When Choosing a Box:

  • Consider item weight: Heavier items require thicker, stronger boxes.
  • Think about the shipping method: Boxes for ocean freight should be more moisture-resistant.
  • Use extra protection: Bubble wrap or foam is essential for fragile goods.
