Single Wall vs. Double Wall Boxes: Cost and Benefits
Single Wall vs. Double Wall Boxes: Cost and Benefits
Choosing between single wall and double wall boxes impacts your shipping costs and protection levels. We’ve compiled information to help you balance durability with budget for your warehouse or ecommerce needs.
Single Wall Boxes
Single wall boxes have one layer of corrugated fluting, making them lightweight and cost-effective for lighter items. They’re ideal for small, non-fragile goods like clothing or books.
Double Wall Boxes
Double wall boxes feature two layers of fluting, offering greater strength for heavier or fragile items like electronics or glassware. They cost more but provide superior protection.
Cost Factors
Prices for boxes are impacted by the cost of raw materials and supply chain availability. To maximize your cost savings, use the right box for your items. Costs depend on:
- Box size and material quality.
- Single wall boxes are cheaper, but double wall reduces damage claims.
- Buying in bulk may help you cut your costs further.
