The 6 Benefits of Custom Corrugated Boxes

1. Environmentally Sound: Corrugated is a curbside-recyclable and biodegradable product made from a sustainable crop.

1. Local: The paper used to create corrugated is primarily produced on the west coast and the corrugated material is produced in the Puget Sound region.

1. Versatile: Three sheets of paper and a little starch creates a rigid material that does so much – protects, transports, holds, displays, communicates a message, and sells a brand.

1. Custom-Driven: Our plant runs with you in mind. Every order we produce is made to the exact specifications for our clients so you can receive exactly what you need, in the quantity you desire, when you need it. Whether it is a counter display or a pallet-sized tote, we have you covered.

1. On Demand: No need to re-order and wait weeks for your custom corrugated product. Our lean operation allows us to deliver custom packaging to you within 5-10 business days of receiving your purchase order. We also have JIT programs to ensure that your supply chain is a well-oiled machine, so you don’t waste valuable resources tracking inventory and wondering when you need to reorder.

1. Universal: Corrugated speaks to all industries and is a medium used in virtually every vertical: from specialty foods markets to medical device companies to aerospace. We offer a consultative approach specific to your business sector, all the way from design to delivery.

The BoxMaker’s capacity to meet the most demanding specifications and schedules makes us uniquely qualified to handle the growing needs of clients in any industry.

ECT vs. Mullen

We can produce packaging to ECT or Mullen specifications, and anything in between. Both the Edge Crush Test (ECT) and the Mullen Test are methods of measuring the strength of corrugated material. ECT measures the stacking strength of a particular corrugated grade by stacking multiple boxes on a pallet. The Mullen Test focuses on a single box’s ability to withstand rough handling. You can often upgrade a liner or medium to provide the strength necessary for you’re your project without jumping to the next full grade, saving you both money and resources.
