Materials Used in Corrugated Box Production
The foundation of quality corrugated box production starts with superior materials. We exclusively use FSC-certified paper options that meets international sustainability standards.
Our standard corrugated boxes feature three-layer construction with fluting between two linerboards, providing excellent compression strength and cushioning properties. The materials we use range from 125 GSM to 350 GSM depending on your product weight and protection requirements.
For lighter products under 5 pounds, we recommend 125-200 GSM corrugated material that offers adequate protection while minimizing shipping costs. Medium-duty applications benefit from 200-275 GSM construction, ideal for most e-commerce and retail shipping needs. Heavy-duty corrugated box production uses 275-350 GSM materials capable of supporting products up to 50 pounds. All our corrugated materials feature soy-based inks for printing, ensuring your branding looks sharp while remaining environmentally responsible.
The fluting profile significantly impacts performance in corrugated box production.
We offer B-flute (3mm thick) for retail packaging and lighter items, C-flute (4mm thick) for general shipping applications, and double-wall construction combining multiple flute profiles for maximum strength. Each material option provides different stacking strength, crush resistance, and cushioning characteristics.
Our team helps you select the optimal material configuration based on your specific product dimensions, weight, and shipping conditions.
Customization Options for Your Production Run
Modern your packaging offers extensive customization possibilities beyond basic brown boxes. We provide full-color digital printing using soy-based inks that reproduce your brand colors accurately across the entire box surface. Lithographic printing is available for larger production runs requiring photographic-quality images and complex designs. Your boxes can feature your logo, product information, handling instructions, and marketing messages that turn shipping containers into brand ambassadors.
Structural customization in your packaging includes various closure styles, insert options, and specialty features. Choose from tuck-top closures, self-locking bottoms, die-cut windows with clear film, carrying handles, and reinforced corners. We can incorporate interior dividers, protective inserts, and custom foam padding directly into the production process. Specialty finishes like matte or gloss lamination, spot UV coating, embossing, and foil stamping add premium touches that elevate perceived value.
Our design support team assists throughout the these boxes process, providing free consultation on structural design, graphics layout, and material selection. We create 3D mockups and physical samples before full production begins, ensuring the final product matches your vision exactly. Whether you need standard RSC (Regular Slotted Container) boxes or completely custom die-cut designs, our production capabilities adapt to your requirements.

Custom dimensions are integral to our this packaging solution services. We make boxes to precise specifications with tolerances within 1/8 inch. This precision ensures optimal product fit, reducing material waste and shipping costs while maximizing protection.
Our production equipment handles virtually any rectangular dimension, plus specialty shapes like triangular boxes, hexagonal containers, and geometric designs. For products requiring specific internal dimensions, we calculate external measurements accounting for material thickness and closure mechanisms.
Production efficiency improves when dimensions align with standard corrugate sheet sizes, but we never compromise functionality for manufacturing convenience.
Our team analyzes your product dimensions and recommends the most cost-effective box size that provides adequate clearance for protective materials. We also produce telescoping boxes with separate top and bottom sections, allowing you to adjust internal capacity while maintaining consistent external dimensions across your packaging runs.
Sustainability in Corrugated Box Production
Environmental responsibility drives every aspect of our your packaging process. We source exclusively FSC-certified corrugated materials from responsibly managed forests where trees are replanted to maintain ecological balance. Unlike plastic packaging that persists in landfills for centuries, corrugated boxes are 100% recyclable and biodegradable. The paperboard we use contains high percentages of post-consumer recycled content, reducing demand for virgin materials while maintaining structural integrity.
Our commitment to sustainable your packaging extends to the inks and coatings we use. Soy-based inks replace petroleum-based alternatives, offering vibrant colors without harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These vegetable-based inks break down naturally during the recycling process, unlike synthetic inks that contaminate paper fibers. Water-based coatings and adhesives further reduce environmental impact while providing excellent moisture resistance and adhesion strength.
The your packaging process itself generates minimal waste compared to other packaging materials. Offcuts and trimmings from die-cutting operations are collected and returned to paper mills for reprocessing into new corrugated materials.
Our manufacturing partners implement energy-efficient production equipment and renewable energy sources where available. By choosing corrugated boxes from Teal, you're selecting packaging that aligns with circular economy principles and reduces your carbon footprint.
Corrugated packaging's lightweight nature compared to rigid alternatives like wood or heavy-duty plastics significantly reduces transportation emissions during shipping. A single truckload carries more corrugated boxes than equivalent rigid containers, improving logistics efficiency across your supply chain. After use, consumers can easily recycle corrugated boxes through curbside programs or composting systems, closing the sustainability loop.

Frequently Asked Questions About Corrugated Box Production
What is the difference between corrugated and cardboard in box production?
Corrugated material features a fluted layer sandwiched between two flat linerboards, creating superior strength and cushioning compared to single-layer cardboard. This three-dimensional structure provides much better crush resistance and impact protection. Cardboard typically refers to thicker paperboard without the corrugated fluting, suitable for lighter applications like cereal boxes or folders. In box production for shipping and product protection, corrugated construction significantly outperforms standard cardboard, making it the preferred choice for e-commerce, retail distribution, and industrial applications.

Lithographic printing delivers photographic quality for larger production runs, offering the most vibrant colors and finest detail reproduction. Both methods support full CMYK color plus spot colors, allowing precise brand color matching across your this packaging solution.
Are corrugated boxes suitable for food product packaging?
Corrugated boxes work excellently for food packaging when manufactured with food-safe materials and coatings.
Our these boxes uses paperboard that complies with FDA regulations for indirect food contact. For direct food contact applications like pizza boxes or bakery containers, we apply food-grade coatings that create moisture and grease barriers. The natural breathability of corrugated material helps regulate humidity for items like fresh produce, while moisture-resistant treatments protect against condensation for frozen foods. We recommend discussing your specific food product requirements with our team to ensure proper material selection during the these boxes process.
