Heavy duty boxes

Heavy-duty cardboard boxes are vital if you ship heavy items, export products, need a high degree of transit protection, or operate in specific markets.

Heavy-duty cardboard boxes typically use double– or triple-wall corrugated material. Depending on size and specification, they are suitable for loads exceeding 40kg. Industrial cardboard boxes are also crush-resistant, making them ideal for stacking and palletised bulk shipping.

At Suttons Performance Packaging, we design and manufacture custom heavy-duty corrugated packaging in-house. We are also a Tri-Wall® Europe-approved fabricator for converting heavy-duty corrugated, allowing us to offer both double-wall and triple-wall boxes cost-effectively.

FAQs

Using custom heavy-duty cartons rather than stock, off-the-shelf sizes offers a range of benefits. To start with, custom-sized packaging helps reduce costly damage caused by products moving around inside a pack that is too large. Custom heavy-duty packs also minimise your requirement for secondary packaging, such as void fill, and reduce transport costs (you can fit more products per load and don’t pay to ship empty space).

An experienced packaging designer can advise and recommend a wide range of double- and triple-wall materials. By analysing the products you are shipping and the likely conditions in the supply chain, you can select an option that provides optimal protection while using the minimum amount of material.

Besides custom sizing and material selection, you can also benefit from various custom inserts, such as foam end caps and lining, which further enhance protection. You can even add logos, handling instructions, and other information via several printing methods to your heavy-duty packaging.

Heavy-duty packaging boxes can feature simple printing, including logos and branding that provide free advertising as your packages move through the supply chain. In addition, the inclusion of handling and safety instructions can play a surprisingly significant role in preventing transit damage.
