For narrow or slim products
Our single wall flat cardboard boxes are the perfect packaging solution for narrow or slim items. Designed to reduce the need for excess void fill, these flat boxes offer a more cost-effective and efficient way to ship and store your products. Unlike double-wall boxes, which are better suited for heavier, bulkier items requiring additional protection, single wall flat boxes provide ample strength for smaller, lighter products while being more economical in both material and shipping costs.
Made from robust single wall corrugated cardboard, these boxes are available in a versatile range of sizes, ensuring that you can find the perfect fit for your packaging needs. Some of our boxes are multi-depth, allowing you to adjust the height to suit the specific requirements of your items. This feature is particularly useful when you need a secure fit, minimising movement within the box and reducing the need for additional protective materials like void fill.
Ideal for flat products or small batches, these single wall flat boxes are not only sturdy but also convenient. They can be easily sealed with tape, providing extra strength for heavier items. Delivered flat-packed, they save space in storage and are simple to assemble when needed.
Whether you're shipping electronics, books, artwork, or other slim products, these boxes provide excellent protection while optimising your packaging process. Additionally, RAJA’s commitment to sustainability means that our single wall flat boxes are 100% recyclable, made from an average of 75% recycled fibres. This eco-conscious approach, combined with the efficiency of the recycling loop, ensures that these boxes can be reused within just two weeks of recycling, making them a smart choice for both your business and the environment.
How to use single-wall flat boxes:
- Once you've selected the right size flat box, take the flat-packed box and unfold it. Make sure all creases and folds are aligned to ensure easy assembly.
- Fold the bottom flaps inward, starting with the shorter flaps and then folding the longer flaps over them. Secure the bottom of the box by applying strong packaging tape along the centre seam where the flaps meet.
- Carefully place your product inside the assembled box. Ensure that it fits and doesn’t move around too much. If there’s any extra space, consider using void fill, like crumpled paper or bubble wrap, to keep the product secure during transit.
- If you’re using a multi-depth box, you can adjust the height to better fit your product. Locate the pre-scored lines inside the box, and gently fold down to the desired depth.
- Once your product is securely placed inside, fold the top flaps inward in the same manner as you did with the bottom flaps. Apply tape along the centre seam and along the edges for added security.
- After sealing the box, attach any necessary shipping labels or handling instructions. Your box is ready for shipping.
FAQs
What is the difference between single wall and double wall cardboard boxes?
Single wall cardboard boxes are made with one layer of corrugated cardboard, offering sufficient protection for lightweight to medium-weight items. Double wall boxes have an additional layer of corrugated cardboard, providing extra strength and protection for heavier, bulkier items. Single wall boxes are more cost-effective and easier to handle for smaller, lighter shipments.
Can these boxes be stacked?
Yes, these boxes can be easily stacked, making them convenient for storage and shipping. However, ensure that the weight of the items inside and the stacking height do not exceed the box's capacity to prevent crushing or damage. If you intended to stack the boxes, looking into double-wall boxes may be a better option.
