Collection: Single Wall Cardboard Boxes

Single wall cardboard boxes use one layer of corrugated fluting (B or C flute) between two flat liner sheets. Lightweight and cost-effective, they are suitable for the majority of e-commerce and postal applications up to 20–30kg. The range covers over 15 products across over 75 sizes.

Benefits of Single Wall Cardboard Boxes

• Lightweight — less material than double or triple wall; lower shipping weight.
• Cost-effective — the most economical box format for standard e-commerce dispatch.
• Recyclable — corrugated board is fully kerbside recyclable through paper and card collection.
• Up to 20–30kg capacity — suitable for most standard postal and courier applications.
• over 75 sizes — full range from small parcels to large shipping formats.

Frequently Asked Questions

What weight can a single wall cardboard box hold?
Single wall boxes (B or C flute) are rated for approximately 20–30kg gross weight depending on box dimensions and stacking conditions. Larger boxes at the same wall specification have lower effective load ratings — a small box can hold proportionally more weight than a large box of equivalent construction. For items above 20kg, or for stacked pallet applications, double wall (BC flute) construction is recommended.

Are single wall boxes suitable for fragile items?
Single wall boxes provide adequate protection for most standard e-commerce items when combined with appropriate void fill. For genuinely fragile items (glass, ceramics, electronics), double wall provides significantly better crush resistance and impact protection. Always use sufficient void fill to prevent movement of the item within the box during transit.

Are single wall cardboard boxes recyclable?
Yes — corrugated cardboard is one of the most recycled materials in the UK, with a recycling rate above 85%. Single wall boxes are fully recyclable through standard kerbside paper and card collection. Remove tape and labels where possible before recycling.
