What are the characteristics of DHL carton 500x500x500 mm?
The clearly large cardboard box is foldable, square and consists of single-ply and brown corrugated cardboard, which can be further strengthened by a corrugated cardboard blank and ensures a higher load capacity. Stability is already guaranteed by the material. Corrugated cardboard is considered to be extremely robust, while at the same time flexible and reliable for storage and transportation. With the C-flute, the material features the stable middle flute, which uses less paper for fluting and is therefore the common packaging material for single wall cardboard boxes in which light to medium weight goods are shipped.
Corrugated board as common packaging material
Corrugated cardboard as a compact material is suitable for printing, including company logos or warnings, is also suitable for fragile goods, if they are sufficiently padded and do not exceed the possible weight, and provides sufficient protection. They come in several varieties, but the construction concept is always the same. Smooth paper webs are glued together with one or more corrugated webs to provide stability and strength. The paper used for this purpose is waste paper. This makes it particularly environmentally friendly and easy to recycle.
In the production process, the paper is shaped using pressure and steam and then formed into a corrugated shape using a roller. The corrugation is enclosed in smooth paper and the cardboard is then cut to the required size. In this process, the material is adjusted to the weight and size of goods and has properties that provide more resistance and strength. The design also makes unfolding the carton particularly quick and easy, without damaging the sides of the carton.
Square shape with C-flute for greater load capacity
The square shape of the carton when folded offers storage in the smallest possible space, while when unfolded the bulky contents can be optimally lined with cushioning materials to provide protection for the goods. Corrugated board as a packaging material always offers corrugated paper, which is surrounded on both sides by a smooth paper web, between which the corrugated web runs, providing a slight buffer. The strength can be felt just by touching it, so even minor tears or holes are not a problem if some bumps or scratches occur during shipping.
Corrugated cardboard for boxes is a type of material that promises high stability and resilience due to the type of corrugation, thickness and quality. The cardboard 50 x 50 x 50 cm has the same internal and external dimensions due to the thin wall, so that the size of the cardboard and its contents can be easily estimated. The C flute is a true all-rounder for versatile use and, compared to other flute types, the perfect middle ground for light and somewhat heavier goods.
