Boxes

WHAT ARE SHIPPING BOXES MADE OF?

Most shipping boxes—including heavy-duty boxes, cube boxes, and flat boxes—are made from corrugated cardboard, a material designed to provide strength and durability.

• Standard boxes are typically 32 ECT (Edge Crush Test), ideal for light to medium loads.
• Heavy-duty options are measured by burst strength, like 275 lbs, or are constructed with double—or triple-wall corrugation for extra protection.

While heavy-duty double-walled boxes are more robust, they also come at a higher cost. They should be used only when necessary for heavier or more fragile items. If you're unsure which type fits your needs, our StarBoxes shipping experts help you choose the correct box for your product type, weight, and handling needs.

TYPES OF BOXES USED IN SHIPPING GOODS

At StarBoxes, we provide a wide selection of box types to accommodate all your shipping requirements. Here are some of the most popular types of shipping boxes:

Corrugated Boxes

Widely used in offices and retail businesses, corrugated boxes are highly durable and ideal for shipping because they resist impact and protect against crushing. They're perfect for transporting a variety of items over long distances—including snacks, food products, electronics, detergents, and more.

Corrugated boxes provide excellent protection during transit or storage when paired with the right packing materials, like packing paper, cardboard dividers, air pillows, or packing peanuts.

Heavy-Duty Boxes

These are the go-to options for fragile or heavy items. Made with enhanced corrugated layers and stronger coatings, heavy-duty boxes offer superior puncture resistance and shock absorption. They're perfect for shipping bulky or sensitive items like:

• Computers and laptops
• Printers and office machines
• Kitchen appliances
• TVs and monitors

Cube Boxes

Cube shipping boxes have equal length, width, and height. They're perfect for oddly shaped or multi-piece items and offer even weight distribution. Cube boxes are commonly used in retail, warehousing, and e-commerce.

Multi-Depth Boxes

Save space and reduce inventory with multi-depth boxes! These adjustable-height boxes allow you to easily cut down to the needed size, making them versatile for various item dimensions and minimizing the need for void fill.

Flat Boxes

Flat shipping boxes are ideal for thin or flat items such as books, picture frames, documents, and electronics. They provide a snug fit and reduce movement during transit.

Long Boxes

Long shipping boxes are designed for narrow and lengthy products like posters, rods, golf clubs, or tripods. Their shape makes them easy to handle and cost-effective to ship.

White Mailer Boxes

Perfect for subscription boxes, promotional kits, and eCommerce packaging, white mailer boxes are lightweight yet durable. Their clean, professional appearance makes a strong impression on customers while providing ample protection.
