PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 16x10x6 corrugated boxes strong enough for shipping flat or lightweight items like electronics, apparel, or small kits?
Yes. These boxes carry a 32 ECT-C edge-crush test rating and can support up to 40–45 lbs when properly packed. The long, shallow design is perfect for low-profile items such as printed materials, clothing, small electronics, auto parts, or bundled product kits.
Is the 32 ECT-C rating acceptable for FedEx, UPS, and USPS ground services?
Definitely. A 32 ECT single-wall box meets or exceeds the edge-crush standards set by all major carriers for ground shipping. Be sure to pack contents snugly, fill empty space with cushioning, and seal all flaps securely with high-quality carton-sealing tape.
What does the 32 ECT-C classification mean?
ECT (Edge Crush Test) measures the board’s ability to resist crushing at its edges. A 32 ECT rating indicates the board withstands 32 pounds of pressure per linear inch. The “C” flute provides a good balance of stacking strength and cushioning, which is ideal for most single-wall shipping applications.
How many boxes are in a case, and how are they shipped?
Each case includes 25 boxes, shipped flat and bundled to reduce shipping costs and storage space. To assemble, square up the box, fold the bottom flaps, and tape it closed—no tools or glue needed.
Are these boxes made from recycled material, and are they recyclable after use?
Yes. These boxes are made with Kraft linerboard that typically includes 30–40% post-consumer recycled content. They are 100% recyclable—just remove any labels or tape before placing them in the recycling bin.
Can these shallow boxes be stacked on a pallet?
Yes. These boxes can be safely palletized when packed within the 40–45 lb weight limit. Due to their shorter 6" height, more layers can be stacked per pallet. For improved stability, especially with lighter loads, use slip-sheets or chipboard between layers and wrap the stack tightly.
Are these boxes safe for direct food contact?
No. While the material is non-toxic, it is not certified for direct food contact. If you're packaging consumables, use a food-grade liner or poly bag inside the box for compliance.
Do the boxes require special tools or adhesives for assembly?
No. These boxes are pre-scored for easy folding and require only standard 2"–3" carton-sealing tape to close. No glue, staples, or special equipment is necessary.
