What are double walled cardboard boxes?
Double walled cardboard boxes are a type of packing box with a double layer of corrugated material, designed to provide twice as much strength and protection as a single walled box.
The layers are securely glued together to offer increased resistance against compression forces that are unavoidable when shipping or transporting items. The advanced construction in a double walled cardboard box guards against damage so that your parcels arrive in the best condition possible.
Types of double wall cardboard boxes
We offer a diverse range of sizes to cater toward most industries and items that need to be dependably packaged. Our 0201 double walled cardboard packing boxes are one of the most popular types of cardboard cartons for shipping goods via a carrier or postal network. As such, we supply an extensive variety of sizes to satisfy the needs of most businesses.
Can a double wall cardboard box be used for fragile items?
Yes, the extra protection granted by the double corrugated layers in a double walled box is ideal for shipping fragile items. Postal services can also safely stack double wall cardboard boxes without crushing any surrounding parcels.
Can double walled packing boxes be used for heavy items?
Double wall packing boxes are well suited to heavier objects that might put a strain on our single walled cartons. This also makes these boxes ideal for companies posting large orders of multiple items.
How much weight can a double walled box hold?
Small to medium-sized double wall boxes have a loading capacity of 18-36kg depending on the size of the box, while the larger sizes can hold between 27-54kg of evenly distributed weight. Please note that these weights are a guide, we advise that you test this with your product first.
When packing items, it is advisable to distribute the weight of items evenly to prevent any one area of the box being strained. If you are shipping particularly heavy items, you may want to consider reinforcing the box with additional packaging materials, such as our foam protection products.

A demonstration on how to measure your product correctly, and choose the right box.
Step 1:
How big is your product? Standard box dimensions are given in the order length x width x height. Measure the length with a tape measure. Next, measure the width. Measure the height/depth.
Step 2:
Select a box that is slightly larger in all 3 dimensions. This will allow for extra padding to protect your product. You will need the INTERNAL dimensions of the box. Depending on the board grade, this could be up to 10mm
less than the external dimensions. To check that your box is the correct size, measure the length, width and height on the INSIDE of the box. All dimensions provided for our boxes are internal.
Step 3:
Wrap your product in a suitable padding material and place inside the box. It should be a snug fit to prevent movement.
Step 4:
Close the box and seal with tape or strapping as required. Consider our custom logo printed tape for a cost-effective branded sealing option.
