Common Mistakes to Avoid When Ordering Heavy-Duty Boxes
Avoid these costly double wall box ordering mistakes.
Common mistakes
Quick answer
The biggest mistakes are under-specifying (box collapses) and over-specifying (money wasted). Use double wall for items over 15kg, stacking 4+ high, or fragile heavy goods. Use single wall for everything else. Specify BC flute for standard heavy-duty. AB for maximum cushioning. Always test with real products and stacking scenarios before bulk ordering. Verify board thickness and crush strength on samples.
