Custom shipping corrugated boxes are made from corrugated cardboard that are designed to the specific needs of a business or product. Can be customized in any size, shape, and thickness, and can be printed with a company’s logo or other branding elements. Alternatively, you can also browse our mailer boxes (made from thin corrugated cardboard) for shipping lighter items.

Corrugation
Corrugations, those wavy lines in cardboard (also called flutes), are key to its strength. Glued between flat sheets of paperboard, they create a sturdy structure that protects your packages.
E-flute
Frequently chosen, it features a flute thickness ranging from 1.2 to 2mm.
B-flute
Perfect for bulky boxes and weighty objects, offering a flute thickness between 2.5 and 3mm.

Printed designs are applied to these foundational materials, which are subsequently adhered to corrugated board. Each material comprises a minimum of 50% post-consumer content (recycled substances).
White
High-quality printing results from using Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS) paper.
Brown kraft

Varnish
A water-based coating that’s environmentally friendly, though not as protective as lamination.
