Corrugated Transit Packaging- Outer Cases

Corrugated Transit packaging or cases refers to outer boxes with the primarily purpose of containing and protecting contents during storage and delivery. Although the general “transit packaging” description covers a broad range of packaging styles, most common is the plain or one colour flexo printed glued “Fefco 0201” style boxes (internationally often referred to as a standard “American Box”).

As the primary requirement of transit packaging is containment and protection, they tend to be made from natural brown corrugated with the board grade specified to reflect the size of the box, the weight and characteristics of the product to be packed and the conditions under which it is likely to be transported and stored. There is also a decision as to whether it is necessary to further protect the product will fillers inside the outer box – such as corner protection pieces or fillers such as scrumpled paper, bubblewrap, foam inserts or loose filler chips.
