Corrugated Boxes

Corrugated boxes are the standard packaging for items sent through the mail. The corrugated cardboard uses fluted sheets to protect your items from impact in transit. Your products arrive safe and sound in a custom box design. Create a fresh minimalist look on the white corrugated cardboard or stick to the classic Kraft (brown) option. You can preview the overall look and modify it in real-time with our online design tool.

Types of Corrugated Boxes

Are you an e-commerce company or subscription-based brand that sends out items regularly? 

Mailer boxes can fit several items of different shapes and sizes. They come in the standard roll end front tuck with dust flaps. No glue or tape needed for the box’s assembly. 

Shipping boxes offer a larger capacity for large deliveries. The sturdy cardboard protects your items in transit, while also keeping your brand presentable upon receipt. 

School boxes let you reach out to students despite the distance. Customize their graduation boxes or create prom boxes that can bring the celebration to their home.

• Premium white has a brighter finish that suits luxury brands. The smooth surface elevates the high-end experience your items have to offer. 
• Kraft (brown) has the familiar, classic color of most corrugated cardboard boxes. Perfect for organic products and other nature-based items.

What is the difference between corrugated and non-corrugated boxes? 

Corrugated cardboard is composed of a fluting medium sandwiched between two paper liners. Unlike non-corrugated boxes, it is composed of three layers that are still lightweight yet resilient. The layered material allows it to absorb impact, shock, temperature change, and moisture while it’s on transit.  

Non-corrugated cardboard offers less rigidity compared to its corrugated counterpart. Although they come in different levels of thickness, you’ll have to protect items inside with other materials like bubble wrap if they’re delivered in transit.
