Large and Small Cardboard Boxes: Advantages

The advantages of packaging in a suitably sized box are clear: your products will fit perfectly, remain well protected and be ready for storage, transport or archiving. In this article, we discuss the types of cardboard boxes available, their dimensions, how to choose the right ones for our products when storing, shipping or archiving them, and the advantages of large and small boxes.

Advantages of Large and Small Boxes

The main benefit of large cardboard boxes is that you can place several small boxes inside them, allowing you to ship multiple small items in bulk.

Cardboard boxes are available in different sizes and formats, providing the perfect storage and transport solution depending on the products being packaged.

For large and bulky items, of course, you need to use the largest possible cardboard boxes with triple walls to protect heavier products. Triple-wall boxes are generally used for stacking on pallets (standard Euro size).

How do you safely store items in archive boxes?

Safely storing documents in archive boxes is necessary in every company. Even in the digital age, it is essential to keep records of documents relating to taxation, human resources, publications and much more, and this specific form of storage requires a specific type of box: the archive box.

Archive boxes are designed to fit the standard types of paper used in modern offices, making them ideal for protecting documents from moisture, dirt, dust and damage caused by sunlight.

To store documents safely, you should choose an archive box that meets your needs, allowing folders to be accessed easily. They are ideal for storage on shelves.

For documents that are no longer current and do not require constant access, there is a range of archive boxes that can support a weight of 20 kg. They are equipped with a closing lid and handles for storage.

For all other types of archiving—loose documents, files, magazines and much more—there are two-piece archive boxes designed to provide maximum storage capacity and easy access. They have handles and a strong base with a robust protective lid.

What are the best boxes for shipping?

Cardboard boxes are the most practical and widely used packaging solution for online purchases. The best shipping boxes should provide strength and protection for the goods inside. They must be durable enough to withstand handling and transit and have sufficient space for labelling.

If you want to ship delicate items such as mugs or electronic devices, glass or ceramic objects, you should choose from Emba-Vento, Emba-Quick and Emba-Flex boxes. They are suitable for fragile products and provide enhanced protection.

One of the disadvantages of e-commerce is that items sometimes need to be returned—and quick boxes with returnable adhesive strips are ideal for this purpose. They are quick and easy to assemble by simply pushing the opposite corners towards each other. These strong and secure boxes close with an adhesive strip, so no additional tape or glue is required.

Advantages of Cardboard Boxes with Lids

While lids are essential for the overall strength of a postal tube, cardboard boxes with lids also offer many advantages for those who want to transport and store items. Cardboard boxes with lids are ideal for storage, shipping and transit because the lid protects the items inside from impact, moisture, dust and dirt, while keeping the products safely inside the box without the risk of them falling out.

A lidded box offers another advantage: the boxes can be stacked on top of one another, saving space.

Storing Items in Very Large Cardboard Boxes

Large cardboard boxes must be strong enough to support and withstand the heavy loads you want to store or transport in them. For this reason, large cardboard boxes are made from triple-wall corrugated cardboard and can support loads of up to 500 kg—the weight of a small cow.

It is best to choose large cardboard boxes with Euro pallet dimensions, as this makes them much easier to store and transport in bulk. They are also strong enough to secure the boxes required for palletisation.

These boxes are ideal for transporting large goods such as car parts, household appliances, builders’ tools and construction products.
