Corrugated Box Types

Also known as a Regular Slotted Carton, all flaps have the same length  and the two outer flaps (normally the lengthwise flaps) are one-half the container's width, so that they meet at the center of the box when folded. this is highly efficient design for many applications and there is very little manufacturing waste.

FOL - Full Overlap



The full overlap slotted container has flaps which are all the same length and are also equal to the width of the box. This style is very resistant to rough handling.

Die Cut

Moving Boxes and Moving Supplies


Moving Boxes and Packing Supplies: Cheap, Easy and Online



When you're busy planning a move, they're the sort of thing that it's easy to leave until the last minute: boxes. Though you might not give them much thought, getting the right kind of moving boxes, and getting enough of them, can make all the difference. Order online from the web's finest packing supply distributors and you'll have one less thing to worry about.

Sure, when you're in a hurry, it might seem cheap and easy to go scrounging for leftover cardboard boxes behind supermarkets and liquor stores. But when you start unpacking and find that your dress shirts smell like sour milk and your antique china has been chipped because it fell out of its box, it'll be too late to reconsider.

A few points to remember:

  • When you're looking for moving boxes, keep in mind that boxes made from corrugated cardboard are stronger than regular boxes and are better suited to handle both heavier and more delicate items.
  • Make sure you order enough cardboard moving boxes to handle your job. Also remember to order them in a variety of sizes. Too little box space, or too much, can be a problem.
  • Strong tape is the key to holding your boxes, and your belongings, together. Duct tape is the strongest, but high quality masking and scotch tape will also do the job.
  • Bubble wrap and packing peanuts aren't just for the professionals; they can cushion your valuables too.
  • Keep in mind that many moving companies will not be held liable for damaged items that were not packed by them.
  • Here are some packing tips.
