PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 18x12x6 corrugated boxes strong enough for shipping flat or medium-weight items?
Yes. With a 32 ECT-C edge-crush test rating, these single-wall boxes support up to 40–45 lbs when packed correctly. The shallow, rectangular design makes them ideal for shipping items like printed materials, trays, apparel, boxed electronics, promotional kits, or grouped consumer goods.
Is the 32 ECT-C rating acceptable for FedEx, UPS, and USPS ground services?
Absolutely. These boxes meet the standard strength requirements used by major carriers for ground shipping. To ensure safe delivery, fill void spaces, keep contents below the 45 lb limit, and seal all flaps securely with quality tape.
What does the 32 ECT-C classification mean?
ECT (Edge Crush Test) measures how much pressure the edge of a corrugated board can withstand. A 32 ECT board handles 32 pounds per linear inch. The “C” flute refers to a common corrugation profile that provides good stacking and cushioning performance in single-wall cartons.
How many boxes come in a case, and how are they shipped?
Each case includes 25 boxes, bundled and shipped flat to reduce freight and storage costs. Assembly is simple—just square the box, fold in the flaps, and seal the bottom with carton tape.
Are these cartons made from recycled materials, and are they recyclable?
Yes. These boxes are made from Kraft linerboard containing 30–40% post-consumer recycled content. Once used, simply remove tape or labels and recycle them through standard corrugated waste streams.
Can these shallow boxes be stacked on a pallet?
Yes. Their 6" height allows for multiple layers per pallet. As long as each box remains under the 40–45 lb limit and is packed evenly, you can stack them efficiently. For stability, consider using chipboard or slip-sheets between layers and wrap the pallet to prevent shifting.
Are these boxes suitable for direct food contact?
No. These are not FDA-certified for direct contact with food. If needed for food service or bulk snacks, use a food-grade liner or poly bag inside the box.
Do these boxes require special tools, glue, or staples for assembly?
Not at all. These boxes are pre-scored and easy to fold. All you need is standard 2"–3" wide carton-sealing tape to close them securely—no special equipment required.
