How to Choose the Right Corrugated Boxes
Measure your longest, widest, and deepest dimensions. Add 1.5–2 inches on each side for protective cushioning (bubble, foam, or kraft paper). Order boxes that allow a snug but not tight fit.
For heavy or tall loads choose higher ECT ratings (44 ECT minimum recommended). Double-wall or triple-wall boxes provide superior column strength for warehousing stacks.
Standard flap closure (RSC) is fastest for hand packing. For automated lines or tamper evidence, consider full-overlap flap or tapeless self-seal mailers.
When shipping hazmat or liquids use the correct UN specification packaging and consult our hazmat box selection or call our specialist team.

Types of Corrugated Board & Flute Profiles
Single-wall (one layer of fluted medium between two liners) is the workhorse for most packages under 65–70 lbs.
Double-wall adds a second fluted layer and can handle 80–150+ lb loads when combined with higher ECT liners.
Triple-wall is reserved for export, bulk chemical drums, or exceptionally heavy equipment where maximum protection is mandatory.
B-flute offers strength and good print surface. C-flute is the most common for shipping. E-flute gives a smooth finish ideal for retail display packaging.
Popular Box Styles We Stock
Regular Slotted Carton (RSC): Most versatile everyday box. All flaps same length, meet in center when folded.
Full Overlap Slotted Carton (FOL): Flaps fully overlap for extra top/bottom strength and stacking rigidity.
Die-Cut Mailers & Easy-Fold: One-piece designs with tuck tabs or auto-lock bottoms. Great for e-commerce subscription boxes and apparel.
Cube, Long & Tall: Special aspect ratios for lamps, artwork, golf clubs, and awkward shapes.
Multi-Depth Boxes: Scored lines so one SKU can serve as multiple heights — reduces your box inventory SKUs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most common corrugated box used for shipping?
The most commonly used shipping box is a standard single-wall Regular Slotted Carton (RSC) rated at 32 ECT. These are ideal for packages under 65 lbs and are accepted by all major carriers including UPS, FedEx, and USPS.
What's the difference between ECT and burst strength ratings?
ECT (Edge Crush Test) measures how much top-to-bottom stacking pressure a box can withstand. Burst strength (Mullen test) measures how much puncture pressure the box wall can resist. Most modern shipping specs use ECT; 32 ECT is standard, 44 ECT is heavy duty.
Can I order corrugated boxes in bulk?
Yes — Material Handling USA specializes in bulk orders. Pricing breaks apply at case, pallet, and truckload quantities. Contact us at (800) 326-4403 or request a quote online for volume pricing.
Do you carry double-wall and triple-wall boxes?
Yes. We stock double-wall (DW) boxes rated up to 48 ECT and triple-wall (TW) heavy-duty cartons for the most demanding industrial applications. SKUs are available for same-day or next-day shipping.
How do I choose the right box size?
Measure your product at its widest points and add 2–3 inches on each dimension for void fill. For multiple items, add the combined dimensions plus 2–3 inches of packing material on all sides. Our team can help with sizing recommendations — call (800) 326-4403.
Do you offer white or printed corrugated boxes?
Yes. We carry white outward-facing liner boxes for improved appearance and branding. One-color or multi-color custom printing is available on most sizes with volume minimums.
Are your boxes made from recycled material?
A large percentage of our standard corrugated inventory contains high recycled fiber content. Many sizes are 100% recyclable and meet major retailer sustainability scorecards. Ask us for specific recycled content certifications.
