Heavy Duty Corrugated Boxes for Export Packaging
How to use heavy-duty corrugated boxes for international export. Specifications, compliance, and protection strategies for sea and air freight.
Heavy-duty corrugated boxes are an increasingly popular alternative to wooden crates for export packaging of medium-weight goods. They offer significant weight savings (reducing freight costs), require no ISPM-15 treatment, and provide excellent protection when properly specified. This guide covers how to select and use heavy-duty corrugated boxes for international export successfully.
Advantages Over Wooden Boxes for Export
When Heavy-Duty Corrugated Works for Export
Corrugated boxes are suitable for export when the product weight is under 50 kg per box, the goods are not exposed to direct weather during transit (containerized), adequate internal cushioning and void-fill is used, and the boxes will not be subjected to fork-through handling. They excel in air freight where weight savings directly reduce costs, and in containerized sea freight where the container provides the primary weather protection.
