Moving Boxes

We at ThePackGuide.com define the moving box as any storage medium solely used for the purposes of moving. Moving boxes are normally more heavy duty. We suggest using double or triple wall corrugated boxes to prevent damage to your goods. Take a look below for UPS Box Strength guidelines.

The Corrugated Box

The corrugated box has two main parts: the linerboard and the medium. Both of these components are constructed from a heavy paper known as containerboard. The linerboard is the flat portion of the box which you can see that adheres to the medium. The medium is the wavy, fluted paper in between the liners. The combination of the parts mentioned above create the corrugated box.

When a single sheet of corrugated is placed on its end, the flutes form rigid columns which can support a great deal of weight. The space in between the flutes acts as a cushion and insulation to protect the box's contents.

Flute Sizes

Flutes come in many sizes and are determined by the distance from the bottom to the top of a single flute or the number of flutes per foot. Larger flute profiles deliver greater strength and cushioning.
