Packaging is consistently ranked as one of the most significant consumables worldwide, and choosing a packaging provider or vendor may sometimes be difficult and time-consuming. The ability to get your products to market and the end user is significantly impacted by the packaging supplier you choose.

Below we have compiled answers to five of the most commonly asked questions that owners and managers of e-commerce businesses have regarding packaging.

What is the Difference between Cardboard and Corrugated Cardboard?

It is essential to understand that corrugated and cardboard are not the same material, even though some cardboard is used in producing corrugated boxes. Cardboard typically refers to a thick paper stock or hefty paper pulp often used to produce greeting cards or cereal boxes.

On the other hand, corrugated boxes are made up of three layers of paper: the inner liner, the outer liner, and the fluting, which have a ruffled appearance and run between the two liners to enhance the boxes’ durability.

What is the Best Packaging Box to Send in Valuables?

When you ship precious items like jewelry and valuables, you risk having them go missing in the mail, which may leave you feeling anxious. There are methods available to fight this, including possibilities for documented delivery; nonetheless, it is recommended that you invest in some high-quality packing, such as corrugated mailers, made to comply with the requirements for mailers.

Why Are Corrugated Boxes Popular for E-Commerce Packaging?

Corrugated boxes are widely used not only because of their capacity to prevent moisture from penetrating the packaged material but also due to the cushioning effect they offer to the objects packed inside the box. In addition, corrugated boxes are sustainable for the environment. At The Boxery, the high-quality raw materials necessary for the production of corrugated boxes are often obtained locally, and as a result, the costs associated with shipping are kept to a minimum.

What is an Eco-Friendly Packaging?

The term “eco-friendly packaging” refers to any packaging that is not only simple to recycle but also harmless to humans, animals, and the environment. Generally, such packaging is produced out of previously used, recycled materials. At The Boxery, one of our primary objectives is to provide a more sustainable and environmentally friendly solution for all the packaging items.

What Packaging Material is the Best?

It is no surprise that corrugated cardboard and other paper-based packaging are considered among the most sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging options. For example, corrugated cardboard offers tremendous structural stability, making it a perfect choice for storing, transporting, and selling things. In addition, since paper-based materials are simple to print on, it is not difficult to integrate your brand’s identity, logo, or message directly into the packaging front and back.
