What Are Long Cardboard Boxes and When Should You Use Them?
Everything you need to know about long cardboard boxes and when your business should use them.
What are long cardboard boxes?
Long cardboard boxes are corrugated packaging designed for items too long to fit in standard box sizes. They typically range from 50cm to over 2m in length with a narrow cross-section. Made from single or double-wall corrugated board, they are the standard packaging solution for elongated products across retail, industrial, and e-commerce sectors.
Quick answer
Long cardboard boxes are corrugated packaging for items over 50cm that do not fit in standard boxes. Common uses include blinds, curtain poles, artwork, golf clubs, lighting, fishing rods, and industrial parts. Choose single-wall for short, light items and double-wall for anything over 80cm or 3kg. They store flat, assemble quickly, and are fully recyclable.

Sizes and materials
Long boxes are available in standard sizes from most packaging suppliers, but custom dimensions are common because product lengths vary so widely. Materials range from lightweight E-flute for short, light items to heavy-duty BC double-wall for industrial applications. Most suppliers offer both stock and custom sizes.
