Cardboard packaging is very versatile as it can be made very strong, and yet remains very light. Cardboard packaging is generally shipped flat packed and assembled in to a box after delivery. In general only very fancy custom made cardboard boxes are sent already built, as they take up much more space on a lorry one assembled.
The advantage of shipping them flat packed to customers is that you can fit several thousand in one lorry, yet probably only a fraction of that number if they were already put together! The same benefit applies when storing them in your warehouse un-assembled, as they take up less space.
It is also in general one hundred percent recyclable, and indeed this is now a key factor, with many product distributors switching to using it for just this reason.
Cardboard can also be easily coated in a variety of other coatings that can do such things as make it virtually waterproof, hence the use of cardboard packaging as milk cartons.
Cardboards other great advantage is the way it can be shaped into numerous forms of other packaging such as cardboard tubes to protect glass items or documents. It can also be made into corrugated card, which can be placed inside a box to use as environmentally friendly packing rather than having to use bubble wrap or foam packing.
In its corrugated form it can take heavy loads and is very shock resistant in the event of the box being dropped.
Cardboard packaging will undoubtedly evolve even more in the years to come, and prove to have yet more novel new uses for it.
