Logistics cartons are durable cardboard containers designed for the safe and efficient transport, storage, and distribution of goods. They form the backbone of the e-commerce, logistics, and freight forwarding industries, serving to transport products at every stage of the supply chain.
Key features of logistics cartons
- High durability: Typically made of corrugated cardboard (3-ply or 5-ply), providing resistance to crushing, shocks, and mechanical damage during transport.
- Standard dimensions: Often manufactured in sizes tailored to standard pallets (e.g., Euro pallets) and courier company requirements, facilitating cargo space optimization.
- Ease of assembly: Most models are designed for quick assembly and securing with tape or interlocking tabs, without the need for complex tools.
- Eco-friendliness: They are fully biodegradable and recyclable, meeting the growing demand for sustainability.
Most popular types
- Flap cartons (RSC): The most versatile and cost-effective boxes; the top and bottom flaps are sealed with packing tape.
- Die-cut cartons: Folded without the use of tape (in accordance with the FEFCO catalog); ideal for shipping smaller goods, clothing, or cosmetics.
- Telescopic cartons (two-piece): Consisting of a base and a lid; often used for packaging items with non-standard heights.
