Double Wall Cardboard Boxes | Heavy-Duty Protection

Double Wall Cardboard Boxes

Choose double wall cardboard boxes when your products need more protection during shipping or storage. These strong cardboard boxes suit heavy, fragile and bulky goods. Pack Exact offers a wide range of sizes for ecommerce, warehousing, distribution and industrial use.

What are double wall boxes?

Double wall boxes use two fluted layers between three paper liners. Each layer of corrugated material adds strength and helps the carton resist crushing, punctures and stacking pressure.

These boxes are also known as double walled packing boxes or double wall cardboard packing boxes. Their stronger construction makes them more suitable for demanding journeys than single walled boxes.

Why double wall is the right choice

Choose double wall for heavier loads, fragile products and longer supply chains. The added rigidity reduces transit damage, helps with pallet stacking and protects multi-item orders packed in one carton.

Their stronger twin-flute construction also provides extra protection when parcels pass through warehouses, couriers and distribution centres.

What can double wall boxes be used for?

Heavy or fragile ecommerce orders: extra protection for products moving through courier and fulfilment networks.

Tools, machinery parts and components: suitable for denser products that require a stronger outer carton.

Glassware, electronics and small appliances: pair with protective void fill and bubble wrap.

Multi-item orders and returns: stronger board helps cartons withstand repeated handling and re-packing.

Warehouse stacking and pallet loads: improved crush resistance for storage, pallet transport and courier hubs.

National distribution and longer routes: better performance across courier and 3PL networks.

Long term storage: suitable when cartons are stored in dry conditions and are not overloaded.

Export packing: added durability for multi-leg shipments and repeated handling.

Benefits of double wall cardboard

Extra protection

The twin-flute design provides extra protection against knocks and pressure. This helps reduce damage when parcels pass through warehouses, couriers and distribution centres.

Better crush resistance

Improved crush resistance makes double wall boxes useful for stacking and pallet transport. Always check the total weight and avoid stacking beyond the carton’s safe limit.

Suitable for heavier products

Heavy duty cardboard boxes can hold denser products than standard single wall cartons. Common uses include tools, components, kitchenware, electronics and multi-item orders.

Supplied flat

The cartons arrive flat for cost effective storage. They are quick to assemble and take up less space before use.

Recyclable material

Many boxes contain recycled material and can enter normal cardboard recycling after use. Remove tape and non-paper parts where possible.

Cost-effective protection

Despite their durability, double wall boxes remain affordable and can help reduce breakages and returns when shipping heavier or more fragile consignments.

Choosing the right double wall box

Measure the internal length, width and height of your product. Choose a close fit while leaving enough room for suitable protective materials.

Use paper void fill, bubble wrap or inserts to prevent movement. Fragile goods may need cushioning around every side. Seal the top and base with strong packing tape.

The correct board grade depends on the product’s weight, shape, route and storage conditions. Extra large products may need pallet boxes or another specialist format.

For more demanding loads, check whether extra heavy duty cardboard boxes or triple wall boxes would provide a safer option.
