About Cardboard Sleeve Printing

Cardboard Sleeve Printing is a type of cardboard used for heavy duty packaging boxes. Designed for maximum strength, you'll normally find corrugated cardboard in the form of single, double or triple wall. As you can probably guess, triple wall corrugated board is the strongest of the lot and is occasionally favoured over real timber board when it comes to shipping or posting large or heavy items.

The structure of Corrugated Cardboard

Corrugated board is not the same as ordinary cardboard. As a complex material, Corrugated cardboard consists of three different parts:

Outer liner: The outer liner is what we all know as the exterior. In the form of a cardboard box it may feature printing such as a company name or logo.
Inner liner: The inner liner is much more hardcore than the outer liner. It must be strong and able to come into contact with food products or any other product that may cause damage to the box.
Fluting medium: The fluting medium is essentially what makes corrugated cardboard boxes so strong and able. It is a piece of specially made paper that can crinkle when experiencing pressure and heat. It is the ingredient that separates the inner and outer liners, ensuring protection of both.

The benefits of using Corrugated Cardboard Boxes

There are many benefits when it comes to using corrugated board over other heavy duty packaging materials such as timber. Some of the benefits are:

Environmentally friendly: Cardboard is typically made from recycled materials and can be used over and over again, whereas timber is not as eco-friendly.
Cost effective: Corrugated cardboard will always be cheaper than other heavy duty packaging containers. This includes saving money on the lower weight when shipping.
Safety: There is no danger of sharp edges or splinters.
Printing: It's easy to get your company name, logo and other details printed onto a cardboard box. You may not be so lucky with other materials.

Consider your item before deciding on which level of strength you'll need. For extra heavy items you'll probably need a triple wall corrugated box, but if it's not to weighty you could get away with a double wall box, or even single!
