Did you know: The quickest way to measure a box is by looking at the opening of the box and measuring the longest panel first? Using a tape measure, place it in the bottom of the box (approximately one inch from the back wall) and measure from left to right. Repeat the process on the shorter panel. Do measure the depth, fold a side flap inward (until it is perpendicular to its vertical side wall) place the tape measure at the end of the flap and extend it downward until it rests on the inner flap at the bottom of the box.

Did you know: that box sizes are measured using the inner dimensions unless otherwise specified? The size of what needs to be contained determines the inner box dimensions. Those dimensions are usually listed in the following sequence: Length (L) x Width (W) x Depth (D). Box dimensions are based on the opening of an assembled box. Looking at the opening, the longer of the two sides is considered the “length.” The shorter of the two sides is the “width.” The side perpendicular to the  Wlength and width is the “depth” of the box. While this is true for most boxes, there are some exceptions (bookfolds, bin boxes, and divider bins) where the “width” precedes “length” and “depth” in the measurement sequence.

Did you know: What the difference is between Corrugated or Cardboard boxes? Folks think they’re the same, but any packaging engineer would cringe to hear these terms being used interchangeably. Corrugated boxes are easily identified by their layers (usually three): An inside liner, an outside liner, and a “fluting,” which is sandwiched between. It’s the fluting that gives corrugated boxes their strength. Cardboard boxes on the other hand are simply a thick paper stock known as paperboard. Now you know the difference, and knowing is half of the (packing) battle. Custom boxes are available to build now. Click the button below to get started.

Did you know: that corrugated board is a combination of at least three sheets of paper, collectively called containerboard? The paper layers on the outside are known as the liners, or linerboard, while the fluted or wave-shaped material in the middle layer is called corrugating medium. Corrugated board comes in different thicknesses, depending on the height of the flutes, and number of flutes per foot. Ready to build a box?

Mullens VS ECT

I see a lot of the manufacturers on the west coast switching to ect as opposed to mullens tested boxes. This was a problem about 10 years ago with a lot of the end users as the main complaint with ect boxes were the actual thickness of the corrugated. It seems that is the first thing they noticed and for that reason they were rejected often.

I have noticed that most manufacturers on the east coast and in the south primarily stock ect board. It looks like the corrugated industry is aimed to move towards ect as the initial source of corrugated testing…. but will the end users adapt?
