For any single-trip shipping requirements you have, corrugated packaging is a flexible, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective option.
Corrugated packaging is any box, tray, or carton made using corrugated cardboard. This material allows the manufacture of corrugated packaging in a wide range of sizes and styles, including with print and various finishes. Corrugated packaging is also fully recyclable and environmentally friendly.
At Suttons Performance Packaging, we can design and manufacture a corrugated box to your exact size, strength, and requirements. Operating as a conventional sheet plant, we convert (and print) a range of materials, from micro-flute to triple-wall heavy-duty corrugated. Our in-house corrugated box manufacturing capability also allows you to source low volumes (generally 50 units or more) and higher volumes of 3,000+ as required.
At Suttons Performance Packaging, we manufacture corrugated boxes in volumes from as low as 50 units in the exact size, style, and strength you need.
Corrugated packaging is any box, carton, sleeve or other container manufactured from cardboard. Typically, corrugated cardboard material consists of three layers, the two outer liners and the internal fluting, but can feature additional layers of fluting for double and triple-wall grades. Corrugated packaging is incredibly versatile in terms of sizes and styles, provides good levels of protection in transit, is sustainable and easily recycled, and is cost-effective.
Corrugated and cardboard are essentially two different terms for the same material (often called corrugated cardboard packaging). It refers to the paper-based material that consists of at least two outer liners and at least one layer of fluting in the middle. The term “cardboard,” however, is often used to describe solid fibreboard and cardstock materials.
Corrugated packaging is easy to print on, thanks to its paper-based construction. Digital, flexographic and litho lamination printing techniques mean that designs from a single colour to full CMYK graphics are possible. As a result, corrugated packaging is suitable for retail, eCommerce and other applications where appearance is important.
Corrugated packaging is ideally suited to single-trip applications. Its low cost and recyclability lend it particularly well to applications where end users will not return the packaging. However, businesses can often use corrugated boxes over multiple trips, particularly where they are not subjected to poor handling or moisture.
At Suttons Performance Packaging, we have been corrugated packaging manufacturers for over 60 years. In this time, we have designed and supplied high-performance, cost-effective, and commercially successful corrugated packaging for a huge number of businesses.
To maintain our competitive edge, we continue to invest in state-of-the-art conversion machinery. In addition, our flexible manufacturing capability enables us to offer short-run, low-volume, and high-volume automated production within the same facility.
We also offer in-house design services and can process CAD drawings from concept to a working prototype using our automated sample-making table for pre-production assessment and drop-test analysis.
Optional printing can accommodate your graphic designs using flexographic, silk screen or lithographic six-colour processes.
Ultimately, our team will design and manufacture your corrugated packaging to the exact specification required, including additional inserts and features to reduce packing times, minimise material use, and guarantee protection during transit.
