Shipping boxes are enclosed containers used to securely ship products from one location to another without damage.
These are typically manufactured from corrugated cardboard.
This is a stronger type of paper that consists of flat sheets with fluted paper in between.
The strength of the shipping box depends on the style of flute used.
The flute is an interior rib structure designed to absorb shocks.
The most common flute styles are:
- A-Flute: thick and cushioning, best for delicate or weighty items
- B-Flute: flat and solid, for canned foods or packaging at the retail level
- C-Flute: the most common flute style; its balanced strength makes it suitable for most e-commerce items
- E-Flute: flat and slim, appropriate for printed materials or the packaging of retail goods
- Double/Triple Wall: multi-layered boxes designed for the shipment of heavy goods, like industrial machinery
The style of shipping box construction varies depending on the items being shipped. Some of the common structural styles include regular slotted cartons (RSC), mailer boxes, and die-cut boxes.

Important Quick Tip
Select a shipping box or letterbox packaging that has at least 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) of space.
Around the packaged product (e.g., for bubble wrap, kraft paper, packing peanuts).
Anything smaller risks damage; much larger adds unnecessary shipping costs.
Internal Packaging Materials That Prevent Shipping Damage
No matter how strong the box or personalised parcel box itself is.
The poor internal protection cannot ensure the arrival of items in the condition that was expected.
This makes protection equally important as box dimensions and material.
Product protection offers stability to the item, helps to absorb impacts, and prevents it from moving.
Below are some commonly use protective packaging options:
- Bubble wrap
- Foam inserts
- Air pillows
- Moulded Inserts/Dividers
