If you have ever needed to move goods from A to B, i.e. moving house, moving offices etc. then you will have had the need for packaging solutions. There are two main types of cardboard box, single wall and double wall.
Single wall boxes are built up of one layer of cardboard and one layer of fluting. They are perfect for transporting goods, particularly when the weight of the objects isn’t too great.
Double wall is one layer of cardboard, one of fluting, followed by another layer of cardboard, then another of fluting, finishing with another layer of cardboard. They’re ideal for heavier, bulky items for moving, storage or posting/courier transportation. They provide extra durability and protection for heavier more fragile items.
Although double walled boxes do cost more in the short term, they are able to support far more weight and are therefore far more durable than single walled boxes and will last much longer.
If you need to package light items then after choosing a suitable box, they can then be supported inside that box using loosefill or as they’re more commonly known wotsits (but they dont taste nearly as good and are white!) Loosefill is ideal for protection of items that do not weight too much, heavier items however should be wrapped with bubble wrap before boxing and loosefilling.
