 Corrugated Tray Boxes

Corrugated tray boxes are a great way to organize and store your items. They are available in a wide range of styles and sizes, and come in many different materials. You may choose to have them made of corrugated cardboard, or you might want to consider other materials, such as wood or plastic. Whatever your choice, you can rest assured that they are a reliable and safe option.

Dimensions

Corrugated trays are used to carry small, lightweight loads. They are made from corrugated paperboard. You can find them in both white and kraft. In addition to providing a smooth surface, they are durable and able to withstand punctures.

Corrugated boxes are one of the most popular types of packaging for transporting goods.

A box’s dimensions are determined by three sets of specifications. These include the width, depth, and length. Boxes are often measured from the inside. This provides the most accurate measurements for determining how much space is available for your product.

The first of these is the length, which is the length of the longest side of the box. Measured in inches, it can range from 18″ to over 2 feet long.

Next is the width, which is the width of the two parallel sides. Again, this is always shorter than the length.

The depth is the area between the top and bottom openings of the box. It is also measured from the center of the score line.

Finally, the height is the distance from the opening to the opposite panel. This is the smallest of the three measurements.

Corrugated box sizes are also measured in different ways. This is because the dimensions of a box don’t necessarily relate to the thickness of the box’s walls.

However, the dimensions of a corrugated box do relate to the amount of usable space within the box. Using the right box size ensures that your product is packed and shipped safely. Various sizes of box are available, including single wall, double wall, and triple wall boxes.

Walled vs triple walled

There are two types of corrugated tray boxes, single and double walled. These are available in a wide variety of sizes and constructions. They are also available in many styles, colors, and textures.

Single wall corrugated boxes are designed for light and medium-weight products. They provide ample support for most items. They are economical and easily disposable. However, they are more expensive than double walled options.

Double walled boxes are stronger, more durable, and offer exceptional puncture resistance. In addition, they provide extra protection when they are stacked. They are also used for heavier-duty products. Compared to single-wall boxes, they are more expensive, but they are more useful for long-term storage.

Triple walled shipping boxes are also rigid and sturdy. This type of box can be an excellent alternative to a wooden container for storing and shipping heavy or delicate items.

The strength of a corrugated box depends on the material and its fluting. Traditionally, the strongest option is single wall. But there are newer types of fluting, such as R-Flute. These flutings are smaller and eco-friendly, making them a great choice for any business looking to cut down on manufacturing waste.

For a strong cushioning effect, you can add protective foam inserts to these boxes.

Single walled boxes are designed to provide adequate protection for most items. They are ideal for B2B and retail applications. Some models are also available in partitions for medical and transportation applications.

Single and double walled corrugated boxes are the most popular choices for shipping and storing products. However, not all manufacturers manufacture triple-walled options. If you’re in the market for a corrugated container, you may want to consider a custom manufacturer. Their experts can help you find the right solution for your specific needs.

Tests for puncture resistance

There are various methods for testing the puncture resistance of corrugated tray boxes. One of the most common is the Edge Crush Test (ECT). This test evaluates the strength of the material and stacking ability of a corrugated box.

Another method is the Dart Drop Test. The test involves dropping a weighted dart with a certain profile. Depending on the type of product being tested, the test may be applied to paper, film, non-woven, rigid sheet and foils.

Regardless of the method used, the test provides a useful way to compare the impact resistance of different materials. Some industries, including the pharmaceutical industry, use this test to ensure the quality of their packaging materials.

Another test that manufacturers often use to determine the strength of corrugated boxes is the Mullen test. It was first developed more than a century ago and has since become an industry standard.

These tests are used to determine the strength of a variety of packaging materials, including cardboard and corrugated fiberboard. They also help to determine whether a specific carton is suitable for the products inside.

A box with a high ECT

The ECT is used for smaller to medium-sized packages. A box with a high ECT rating is strong enough to handle 55 pounds of pressure on the edges of the cardboard.

ECT is the most accurate test when determining the strength of a box during shipment. An ECT rated box uses less material than a Burst Test rated box. ECT is especially important for stacking boxes.

The results of the test are printed on a thermal printer. Other features include a 5-inch color touch screen control and a self-tightening clamp.

d.Whether you are producing a carton or packing your own product, the Puncture Resistance Tester is an indispensable tool for quality control and inspection.

Printing method

If you are planning to print corrugated tray boxes, you can choose from a number of different methods. The best method depends on your needs, budget, and preferred results. Among the many types of printing, there are three popular processes: Flexo, Lithographic, and Digital. Each process offers advantages and disadvantages that may affect your choice.

Flexo is a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to produce boxes. It prints on both corrugated boards and other substrates. However, it does have a few limitations, including registration problems.

Another option is digital printing, which uses inkjet technology to deliver coatings directly to the corrugated board. This technique allows for variable data printing, a faster turnaround, and a higher resolution. Although it is a relatively new method, it is quite effective and affordable.

Lithographic printing

Lithographic printing is another option for printing on corrugated boxes. It involves breaking up a design into a series of plates.

There are a few differences between litho and flexo, but mainly it comes down to budget and volume. With litho, you need a high volume order to produce the highest quality label. In addition, there are more set up costs for litho lamination. For these reasons, litho may not be the best choice for low volume runs.

Digital printing is a more expensive option, but it does have several advantages. One of these advantages is that it can produce graphics on corrugated boxes quickly. You can also print on combined boards with a four-color process.

However, if you have an extremely large quantity to print, direct printing may be the best choice. You will need a separate label for every color you want to print. Additionally, it requires more laminating runs, and its size limits aren’t as flexible as those of digital or flexo.

Regardless of which printing method you choose, it is important to ensure that your box prints well. By choosing the right process, you can create eye-catching designs that stand out and drive sales.
