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 are manufactured using double- or triple-wall corrugated material. Depending on the size and specification, they are suitable for loads in excess of 40kg. They are also crush-resistant, making them ideal for stacking and bulk shipping on pallets.
At Suttons Performance Packaging, we design and manufacture custom heavy-duty cardboard boxes 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.
At Suttons Performance Packaging, we specialist in designing and manufacturing custom heavy-duty packaging that offers superior protection. Choosing custom-sized packaging instead of off-the-shelf options can help reduce product damage, minimise the need for secondary packaging, and lower your transport costs.
Using custom-sized heavy-duty cardboard boxes rather than stock, off-the-shelf sizes offers a range of benefits.
To start with, custom-size 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).


Our packaging designers can advise and recommend a wide range of double- and triple-wall materials. By analysing the products you are shipping and the likely conditions experienced in the supply chain, we can select an option that provides optimum 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 opt to add logos, handling instructions, and other information via several printing methods.
Finally, by manufacturing your heavy-duty packaging in-house, we can cost-effectively supply low (50 units) and high (3000+) volume requirements.

Taking a different approach from many packaging suppliers, in that custom-designed packaging is almost always more cost-effective overall than standard options, also provides several other benefits.
