Double Wall Cardboard Boxes

The folding carton 2 corrugated made of high-quality cardboard for even greater stability during transport.

In the world of cardboard packaging, everything revolves around packaging, i.e. products that are used for the outer packaging of other products or shipping goods. Packaging can be made of paper, cardboard, plastic, wood, glass, metals or textiles, for example.

One of the most commonly used packaging materials in the world is corrugated board, used for example for double wall boxes. Corrugated board consists of a paper flute and at least one smooth paper web. The latter is supposed to fulfil various functions: Resistance to possible damage, absorbing external influences and increasing stackability. For even greater stability, the walls of folding cartons often also consist of several layers, these are then called double wall cartons. If a folding carton is 2 corrugated, it consists of two cardboard corrugations and three paper webs. Several factors improve when a package is double wall carton Stability and durability are just two examples. A double wall carton can also transport heavier goods.

Things to know about corrugated - double wall cartons and their high load capacity

There are three types of corrugated board: 1 corrugated, 2 corrugated and 3 corrugated. The more corrugated layers are glued together, the more load-bearing capacity the corrugated board can withstand. Two values provide information about the size of the corrugation and thus its stability, load capacity and resistance: the corrugation and the height of the corrugation. The separation between the two flutes also plays a decisive role.

If folding cartons are double corrugated, the shipping carton is created by gluing together smooth and corrugated paper webs. The folding carton gains additional strength from the corrugation of the paper. This type of lightweight paper construction creates a stable packaging material, such as the double wall carton. The secret of stability lies in the corrugated shape. Complex or folded paper does not achieve the same quality/stiffness. A 2 flute board can therefore absorb shocks better.

The quality of corrugated board types - How the point system works

The different qualities of corrugated board grades for 2 flute and 1 flute boxes differ as follows: The 1 flute version has a quality score from 1.10 to 1.40, the 2 flute version from 2.30 to 2.95 and the 3 flute version from 2.90 to 2.92.

The first number before the dot indicates how many layers of corrugated board are involved. If the quality number is 2.30, for example, it is 2 layers, i.e. 2 flutes, as in the case of a 2 flute cardboard box. An exception is the 3 flute version. The second digit indicates the load capacity or stability. In the example 2,30: 30 means a load capacity of up to 30 kg. You can find the right shipping cartons for your requirements, for example a 2 flute carton, cheap and stable, in our online shop.

Corrugated board qualities from 1.10 to 1.50 and 2.20 to 2.70 are designed for storage and for medium and high transport loads. The corrugated board qualities from 2.90 to 2.95 contain particularly strong cardboard boxes and are designed for very high loads. They withstand very high forces and have a stable edge. A 2 corrugated cardboard box with a high corrugated cardboard quality is therefore particularly suitable for heavy and delicate items.

Shipping cartons 2 corrugated for more protection and stability with the deck technique

Corrugated board consists of corrugated paper between two sheets of paper, the so-called cover papers. This "cover technique" is the reason for the high protection and stability of corrugated board. If shipping boxes are 2 corrugated, they also offer additional protection for your goods.

Whether it is single flute or double flute corrugated paper, fibrous materials are washed with water and filled with glue, filler and dyes. This mixture reaches the wire, where it is dried and pressed. What sounds so simple, of course, requires a lot of know-how, knowledge of the exact quantities and the right use of modern technology to produce high quality 2 flute boxes.

To provide the same high quality of both corrugated board and finished boxes, testing is important. For this purpose, the industry has identified uniform standards. They form the basis for tests according to DIN 55468. Regardless of whether a shipping carton is double-fluted or single-fluted, each model must meet the standardised requirements. However, the requirements for stability and load-bearing capacity of double-wall cardboard and folding boxes are higher, as they are also supposed to be suitable for heavy products.

How to find the right folding box for your requirements

Here, retailers are often faced with the challenge of choosing large shipping cartons for infinitesimally small items. If a box is double-walled, even small loads can be shipped easily and in a space-saving manner. The box itself is very stable and benefits from the fact that the loads are distributed inside.

In the field of transport packaging, four types of corrugations or suitable combinations are used. All of them are standardised according to DIN 55 468. With these two adaptations, the properties and strength of the B-shafts are retained. Thus, the pallets can be better used, which ensures significant savings in transport costs as well as CO2 emissions.

The task of the folding carton is to protect products inside and out. Thickness and quality should always be adapted to the corresponding contents. For many products, there is already a perfectly suitable full packaging. They are characterised by the fact that they combine padding, fixation and material in addition to the cover.

Single or double wall folding cartons - The difference between single and double wall cartons

Single ply cardboard, as the name suggests, consists of corrugated cardboard coated on both sides (outer and inner liner). Double wall corrugated board, on the other hand, is a combination of different types of corrugated board separated by another paper web, the so-called interlayer. As a rule, a smaller corrugation is combined with a larger one, with the fine or extra-fine corrugation projecting outwards to protect against mechanical influences. At the same time, printed images can also be optimally displayed.

You can recognise corrugated board, single or double wall, by the number combination under the keyword "quality" in the product description. The first number before the decimal point always refers to single (1) or double (2) wall cardboard.

If a folding carton is double wall, it consists of an outer shell, corrugated board and inner shell. A folding carton made of corrugated board not only owes its name and characteristic appearance to the packaging material, but also determines its functional properties. The type of corrugation determines the stability of the Welpappe folding carton at a relatively low weight compared to, for example, plastic or wooden packaging. The corrugation is created in the so-called corrugated cardboard factories. The paper webs are moistened, heated and passed through heated corrugating rolls which finally give the paper its characteristic character.

Double wall folding cartons are also available in special sizes and in square form

Square folding cartons double flute have the same length and width and are ideal for transporting cubic or spherical goods. A strapping band helps with secure outer packaging.

Most boxes are double-wall or single-wall, have an elongated shape and are suitable for the most common shipping purposes. But for example, plates, coffee pots or other sensitive material is best packed in a shipping carton with enough padding, which has at least a square basic shape, better still a cubic shape, i.e. with a length ratio of 1:1:1 (L:S:H).

How do I recognise good quality corrugated board?

1 or 2 flute corrugated board Corrugated board must have the following properties according to DIN 55468.  They are based on different test methods for tensile strength, puncture resistance and edge crush resistance. Tensile strength is the resistance that the corrugated board must withstand under constant pressure. Impact resistance indicates the force required to penetrate the corrugated board. A specially standardised puncture body is used in this test.

The edge crush resistance indicates the standing wave resistance. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about the stackability of corrugated cardboard boxes. The quality of corrugated board can be judged by the combination of numbers given in the product description in the column "Quality". The second number always indicates the type and thus the associated properties, in short the load capacity. Regardless of whether a corrugated board folding box is 2 flutes or 1 flute, Verpacking.com always uses high-quality and resilient materials.
