Boxes made of corrugated cardboard due to their higher shear resistance will resist being pushed on its side.
This shear stiffness makes it recover its shape on squeezing and makes it an ideal packing material. It is important for any business that packaging costs are kept low to reduce the cost-price of product and there are many ways of achieving this.a.You have to choose the boxes of corrugated cardboard material of correct size according the material being dispatched to reduce the cost of packing. Normally for material protection, a 2" space all around the material is enough and in this space one can put cushioning material such as thermo-coal chips, sponge pieces etc.
Due to the shear stiffness of the box material, lateral and vertical movements of material inside are prevented. Oversized boxes requiring a large amount of cushioning material results in only increasing the cost of packing unnecessarily. The packing material company can supply corrugated cardboard boxes of over 100 odd types of sizes and hence it is not a problem to get the correct size box.b. Corrugated boxes of correct design need to be selected for reducing the packing cost. Generally boxes which open on their smaller dimension and their larger dimension is deepest prove to be cheaper since this design uses less of the corrugated material.
For long narrow product one can use fivefold panel type of corrugated folder.c. Choice of corrugated boxes of correct thickness to withstand the mass of the material being transported is very important. Over weighted material kept in under designed box made of even corrugated cardboard will be a safety risk. In such cases packing cost reduction has to be dovetailed according to the material being transported.d. Gather online or current pulp and paper magazine based information on the price of corrugated cardboard boxes.
You can also consult the packaging professionals. Bulk ordering of cardboard boxes when the prices are low can give a double advantage and really reduce the cost of packing. Apart from surveying local vendors of packing materials one can find out from the vendors in city/town and have a cost comparison to save on packaging cost.
