Cartons

An extensive range of corrugated cartons – with more than 125,000 in stock – in standard sizes and strengths, so our customers can benefit from the many applications of this flexible and cost-effective packing material.

Utilization
Corrugated cartons are used to protect a wide variety of products during shipping and storage. It is important to choose the right strength. Generally speaking, 32 ECT (Edge Crush Test) cartons are acceptable for most contents, up to 65 lbs., and 44 ECT cartons are acceptable for up to 95 lbs. To choose the appropriate carton size, measure the size of the item you want to pack, and then calculate extra space on each side of the item, so that cushioning materials, if needed, may be added to protect the contents from damage.

Carton Sizes

Usage Advice
You can gain a lot of flexibility by using cartons. For example, cartons containing smaller items can be consolidated into one larger carton, for cost savings in shipping, as long as the larger carton can easily support the weight.

Common Mistakes
Some packers use a large box to pack many smaller items. However, even though the combined weight of the items may be within the limits of the box’s strength rating, this practice can make the carton excessively heavy and difficult to handle.

Specifications
Our cartons are available in regular-slotted, half-slotted, and full telescoping styles. All cartons are made from corrugated fiberboard, which is recyclable. The cartons can also be made in single wall or double wall. Cartons are available in 200-lb., 275-lb. and 300-lb. test, as well as the newer Edge Crush Equivalents (ECT).
