Local Fibre & Cardboard Boxes in Richmond NSW

The different types of cardboard boxes

Cardboard boxes have been around for decades, being used by manufacturers and moving companies alike. Today, we’ll unpack the three most common types of cardboard boxes.

• Folding cartons are simple cardboard packing boxes that suit a majority of basic packing needs. A typical cereal box is an example of a folding carton.
• Rigid boxes are sturdy cardboard storage and shipping boxes that do not fold or collapse. They are very protective and are often used to pack higher end products such as iPhones.
• Corrugated boxes or fibreboard boxes are commonly large cardboard boxes for moving products without getting them damaged. They are typically manufactured with two layers sandwiching a wave-like layer of cardboard. The protective strength of this type of box is derived from this wavy layer.

All these types of cardboard boxes are made of recycled paper and vary in thickness and strength. For custom cardboard boxes local, visit a specialist supplier near you and drop an enquiry using our ‘Request Quote’ button.
