Corrugated Shipping Boxes

Corrugated shipping boxes from Thy Custom Boxes are the workhorses of the shipping world. They're the reliable containers that get your stuff from point A to point B safely and securely. Think of them as the armored trucks of the postal service, protecting your precious cargo from bumps, bruises, and everything in between.

What are Corrugated Boxes?

So, what exactly *is* a corrugated box? It’s basically a sandwich of paper. The outer layers are flat, smooth sheets called linerboard. But the real secret is the middle layer. This layer is wavy, like a series of arches all lined up. This wavy layer is called the corrugation, and it's what gives the boxes their strength. It’s similar to how the arches in a bridge help it hold a lot of weight. The corrugation acts like tiny supports, spreading the weight evenly across the box and making it really resistant to crushing.

Why Use Corrugated Boxes?

There are lots of reasons why corrugated boxes are a great choice for shipping. First and foremost, they’re strong! That wavy layer in the middle makes a huge difference. They can handle being stacked, dropped, and generally tossed around during shipping without falling apart. This means your items are less likely to get damaged.

Second, they’re lightweight. Even though they’re strong, corrugated boxes don’t add a lot of extra weight to your packages. This is important because shipping companies charge by weight. The lighter the package, the less you pay! You want to protect your stuff without breaking the bank.

Third, they're recyclable. Thy Custom Boxes cares about the environment. Corrugated boxes are made from a renewable resource: trees! And most corrugated boxes are made with a significant amount of recycled material. When you're done with the box, you can recycle it again, helping to keep our planet healthy.

Fourth, they're customizable. We can print logos, warnings, or anything else you need right on the box. This helps you build your brand and make sure your packages are handled correctly. It's like having a little billboard traveling around the country.

Finally, they’re affordable. Compared to other types of packaging, corrugated boxes are a very economical option. You get a lot of protection for your money.

Types of Corrugation

Not all corrugated boxes are created equal. The size of the waves in the corrugation affects the box's strength and thickness. Here are some common types:

A Flute: This is the original and thickest type of corrugation. It provides excellent cushioning and stacking strength. Think of it as the heavyweight champion of corrugated boxes.

B Flute: This is thinner than A flute and offers good crush resistance and printability. It’s a good all around choice.

C Flute: This is the most common type of corrugation. It provides a good balance of stacking strength, crush resistance, and printability. It's the jack of all trades for corrugated boxes.

E Flute: This is a thinner corrugation used for smaller boxes and retail packaging. It offers excellent printability and a smooth surface.

F Flute: This is the thinnest type of corrugation, used for specialized packaging applications.

Thy Custom Boxes can help you choose the right type of corrugation for your specific needs.

Choosing the Right Size Box

Picking the right size box is really important. If the box is too big, your items will bounce around inside and could get damaged. If the box is too small, you might not be able to fit everything in, or you’ll risk damaging the items when you try to force them in. Measure your items carefully and add a little extra space for padding. It’s always better to have a little extra room than not enough.

Packing Your Box Properly

Even the strongest corrugated box can’t protect your items if you don’t pack them correctly. Use plenty of packing material, like bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or crumpled paper, to cushion your items and prevent them from moving around during shipping. Make sure to fill any empty spaces in the box. Seal the box securely with strong packing tape. Don't skimp on the tape! Use several strips to make sure the box stays closed during shipping. A well packed box is a happy box.
