PRODUCT FEATURES
Are these 9x6x3 corrugated boxes strong enough for shipping small items like jewelry, cosmetics, or spare parts?
Yes. With a 32 ECT edge-crush test rating, these single-wall boxes offer reliable strength for lightweight items. When properly packed with cushioning materials like bubble wrap or paper void fill, they can safely handle up to 30 lbs, making them ideal for shipping accessories, electronics components, supplements, and other small, moderately fragile goods.
Is the 32 ECT rating acceptable for FedEx, UPS, and USPS ground services?
Absolutely. A 32 ECT single-wall box meets the minimum strength standards required by major parcel carriers for ground shipments. To ensure safe delivery, stay within the weight limits, fill any void space, and seal all flaps securely using pressure-sensitive carton tape.
What does the 32 ECT classification actually mean?
ECT (Edge Crush Test) indicates how much pressure a corrugated board can withstand along its edge. A 32 ECT board resists up to 32 pounds of force per linear inch before collapsing. This rating reflects durability for standard shipping conditions. The flute profile used offers a balance of cushioning and compression strength in compact packaging.
How many boxes are included, and how are they shipped?
Each case includes 25 flat-packed boxes. They ship bundled and flattened to save space and reduce freight costs. Assembly is fast and easy—simply square the box, fold in the flaps, and tape the bottom.
Are these cartons made from recycled material, and can they be recycled after use?
Yes. These boxes are typically made with 30–40% post-consumer recycled content and can be fully recycled. After unpacking, remove any tape or labels and place the carton in standard corrugated recycling streams.
Can these small 9x6x3 boxes be stacked on a pallet for bulk shipping?
Yes, but due to their smaller footprint and lighter load capacity, they are best stacked in columns or nested inside larger master cartons for efficient palletization. When stacking directly, limit vertical height and secure the load with stretch wrap or slip-sheets to avoid shifting.
Are these corrugated cartons suitable for direct food contact?
No, they are not FDA-certified for direct food contact. If using for food-related purposes, insert a food-grade liner or poly bag to ensure regulatory compliance.
Do the boxes require any special tools or staples for assembly?
Not at all. Each box is pre-scored for easy folding, and all you need is standard carton-sealing tape (2"–3" wide). No glue, staples, or equipment is necessary.
