Different types of shipping boxes are suitable for different products. Next, JS Packaging will tell you how to choose the right shipping box for your product through material, thickness, and size tests.
I. Common Types of Airplane Box Materials
- Plain cardboard: 250-350g, non-corrugated, thin , suitable for lightweight products .
- Hard cardboard: 350-500g, thicker and with a better texture than ordinary cardboard , suitable for products with certain aesthetic requirements for packaging .
Corrugated paper: It is divided into single-wall and double-wall corrugated paper . It has a built-in cushioning structure and strong resistance to drop, pressure and puncture. It is suitable for high-value and heavy products .
II . Corrugated paper thickness
Corrugated type | gram | Advantages | Adapted scenarios |
Single corrugated (E-flute/B-flute) | 150-200g | Lightweight and adaptable, meeting basic protection requirements | Lightweight packaging |
Double corrugated (BC/BE) | 175-250g | Moderate strength, suitable for most scenarios | Medium packaging |
Three-wall corrugated (ABA corrugated/BAA corrugated) | 200-300g | High load-bearing capacity and good protective effect | Heavy Packaging |
High-strength core paper corrugated | Compatible with corresponding weight class and paper size | Moisture-proof and damage-resistant , with a good texture | Packaging suitable for high humidity environments |
E-flute/F-flute + coated white cardstock | Compatible with corresponding weight class and paper size | Clear printing, exquisite appearance | Packaging suitable for fine printing |
F-shaped | 150-250g | Slim and portable, with a high-end feel | Packaging for ultra-thin, high-end feel |
III . Size and Proportion Design of the Airplane Box
JS Packaging offers boxes in various sizes and materials, all customizable to your product needs, ensuring a balance between packaging quality and cost.
- Box height: For boxes with the same base area , excessive height will reduce stability and decrease load-bearing capacity; excessive height will limit the box space and indirectly affect the actual load-bearing capacity.
- Length-to-width ratio: A near-square base area is more stable than a narrow and long shape , and it distributes pressure better.
- Wall thickness and folded edge: The wider the folded edge , the stronger it is, usually 1-3cm . The more uniform the wall thickness, the less likely it is to deform when the edge is under load.
IV . JS Packaging provides QC testing.
JS Packaging’s greatest advantage, built over 27 years in the packaging industry, lies in prioritizing customer needs and quality. They consistently provide comprehensive QC testing to help businesses reduce waste costs and improve product quality, thus gaining many repeat customers and new clients. Below, we will introduce their QC testing services in detail.
- Edge crush strength ( ECT) measures the ability of corrugated cardboard to withstand vertical pressure. Simply put, it tells us how well the cardboard can withstand compression during transport and stacking, preventing cartons from collapsing .
- Process inspection: Ensure that the printed colors are free from color deviation and fading; the pattern is accurate without ghosting or misalignment; the box is sturdy and not easily delaminated .
- Load-bearing test : Paper bags and tote bags are tested for maximum load-bearing capacity to prevent breakage when handled.
- High and low temperature testing : For packaging intended for outdoor use or long-distance transportation, this test assesses its stability under extreme conditions .
