Cardboard Boxes

Find the answers you need below. If you have any additional questions, our customer service team is always here to support you.

Question 1: Which cardboard boxes are best for shipping heavy items?
For shipping heavy items, double-wall cardboard boxes are the optimal choice. These robust shipping boxes can safely handle loads up to 30 kg and beyond, providing superior protection during transport. Double-wall corrugated cardboard features two layers of fluting, making it significantly more durable than single-wall alternatives. At karton.eu, our double-wall cardboard boxes are available in all standard sizes and can be ordered with fast European delivery. For items weighing up to 20 kg, our single-wall cardboard boxes offer excellent value and sufficient stability for most shipping needs.

Question 2: What is the difference between single-wall and double-wall cardboard boxes?
Single-wall cardboard boxes consist of one layer of corrugated fluting between two flat liner boards, making them ideal for light to medium-weight items up to 20 kg. They are cost-effective and suitable for most e-commerce shipping needs. Double-wall cardboard boxes feature two layers of fluting, providing enhanced strength and rigidity for heavy loads up to 30 kg and beyond. Double-wall construction offers superior stacking strength and better protection against impacts. Choose single-wall for everyday shipping and double-wall when maximum durability is required for valuable or heavy goods.

Question 3: Can I order custom-sized cardboard boxes at karton.eu?
Yes, karton.eu offers custom cardboard boxes and made-to-measure packaging solutions tailored to your exact specifications. Using our cardboard configurator, you can design bespoke folding boxes with precise dimensions to perfectly fit your products.

Whether you need unique dimensions, printable surfaces with your logo, or specialized features, our team delivers custom cardboard packaging at competitive prices. Standard sizes are available from stock with fast delivery, while custom orders are produced to meet your specific requirements.

Question 4: How do auto-bottom boxes save time when packing shipments?
Auto-bottom boxes feature a pre-glued base that automatically forms when the box is opened, eliminating manual folding and taping of the bottom. This innovative design significantly speeds up the packing process, making them ideal for high-volume shipping operations. Simply pop open the flat cardboard box, and the bottom locks into place instantly – no adhesive tape required. Auto-bottom boxes are particularly popular in e-commerce and fulfillment centers where efficiency is critical. At karton.eu, our auto-bottom cardboard boxes are available in various sizes, helping you optimize your packaging workflow while maintaining professional quality and stability.

Question 7: Are your cardboard boxes eco-friendly and suitable for sustainable packaging?
Yes, our cardboard boxes are produced from eco-friendly corrugated cardboard and support sustainable packaging practices. The corrugated material is recyclable, biodegradable, and sourced from responsible forestry. Many of our shipping boxes are available as climate-neutral options, allowing you to reduce your environmental footprint. Cardboard packaging is one of the most sustainable choices for shipping and storage, as it can be recycled multiple times and breaks down naturally. At karton.eu, we are committed to offering high-quality folding cartons that meet both your performance requirements and environmental responsibility goals, without compromising on strength or protection.
