Various Box Types for Businesses

Stronger, more bulk-friendly box options are needed for a company's shipping needs as opposed to residential shipping or packing. The majority of product or shipping companies handle one or more of the following categories of boxes:

Corrugated: Although they resemble regular cardboard boxes, corrugated boxes are made of multiple layers of varying thicknesses of material. They are therefore a roomy, strong, and recyclable shipping option. Corrugated boxes are one of the most affordable shipping options available and come in a variety of styles, such as easy-fold or custom printed designs. They are simple to store and arrange once disassembled and laid flat.

Rigid: Due to their svelte, sturdy design that enhances presentation, rigid boxes offer a more opulent experience for the user than other box types. When recipients open a box, such as a shoe box or a box containing a new smartphone, all eyes are drawn to the item. They are a well-liked option for pricey and delicate goods, and because they can be customised, they are ideal for branding.

Folding: Folding cartons or boxes are lighter and thinner than corrugated boxes, but they are still very versatile. If you've ever bought a box of frozen food or a lipstick tube from the grocery store, you are probably familiar with folding boxes. Certain boxes, such as packaging boxes, are specific to a particular product, such as the branded boxes that come with fried rice takeaway. These boxes come in a variety of sizes and shapes and are easily branded and customised. They are lightweight, which makes them convenient to ship and store.

Mailers: In the shipping industry, mailer envelopes and mailer boxes are the two types of containers referred to as mailers. Thick, padded mailer envelopes are used for shipping light-weight or delicate paper goods. Mailer boxes, more especially those in the C-series, open like a pizza box thanks to a self-locking fold design.

You can add your company logo and personalise any part of a box, which is what sets Bolt Boxes apart. RSC shipping boxes, C-series mailers, and end loading boxes are just a few of the options available for our custom-sized boxes.

1. Shipping boxes from RSC

Typically, standard corrugated cardboard boxes with foldable flaps that you can seal with shipping tape, staples, or other similar adhesives are referred to as regular slotted container boxes, or RSC shipping boxes. They can be tailored to meet different weight requirements or space constraints, making them a popular option for product shipping, particularly when dealing with larger quantities. RSC shipping boxes are most likely what come to mind when you think of traditional shipping methods.

Even though these boxes are shipping-ready, you might want to avoid stacking them after they are assembled because they might not be able to support each other's weight without collapsing or bending at the flaps or corners. These boxes typically lay flat when unfolded, making it simpler to store and arrange them throughout your store or warehouse. Bolt Boxes provides RSC boxes in the lengths, widths, and customised designs required by your business.

2. Mailers from the C-Series

C-Series mailer boxes are ideal for e-commerce businesses. Because of their tapeless design, clothing and subscription box companies frequently choose these boxes. Self-locking C-series boxes ensure safe and secure packaging. These sturdy corrugated cardboard containers are incredibly adaptable. Because they have a higher quality design and appearance than other box types, C-series mailer boxes are usually more expensive.

Bolt Boxes engineers C-series mailer boxes to handle your heavy shipping demands, and you can customise the box to better present your brand and facilitate a smoother unboxing experience for your customer. To see how to fold C-Series Mailer boxes so they are ready for shipping, watch this video.

3. Finish packing the boxes.

End loading boxes, which feature overlapping flaps on both ends to provide additional protection during product transportation, are excellent for larger and heavier items. The desire for user experiences and sustainability has led to a trend towards these boxes.

Because end loading boxes are one of several box types made from sturdy corrugated materials, frequently sourced from other recycled boxes and packaging, they are frequently the best option for the environment and eco-conscious businesses. Cardboard side load boxes keep your goods safe and uphold the standing of your business as a provider of high-quality, sustainable services. They are still very durable and only require a small amount of packing material.

Because of their extreme versatility, these boxes can be used to ship a wide range of goods, such as:

1- artwork, including paintings

2- significant files or documents

3- Wall or floor panels that are attachable

4- Mirrors

5- Image frames

6- pieces of decor

7- producing supplies

For the right products, end loading boxes can be the perfect combination of stability, durability, and protection. The extra strength of end loading boxes might be the perfect answer if you're searching for a box that can withstand the strain of transportation or if you want to reduce the amount of filler and packing material you need.
