Why You Should Use Chipboard Boxes

Businesses that use boxes to store and ship their products may not think much about the type of product they use to accomplish this. They may think that all boxes are the same. They will accept that they can use any box to ship their products, but they will be making a mistake that could be costing them money and could cause their business to be less successful than it should be. The bottom line is that not all boxes are the same.

Boxes can come in different sizes and they can come in different levels of strength. There is no such thing as a simple cardboard box. Many businesses are learning about the advantages of using chipboard boxes for their products.

What Are They?

Chipboard boxes are made with recycled materials. The recycled paper is compressed together. It uses a pressure heating process in combination with a resin glue. The end result is a piece of chipboard that can be made in varying thickness and varying sizes. It is a strong material that is also environmentally friendly. Once the chipboard has been made, it can be cut into the boxes that are needed by business.

The boxes can be coated with a clay based mixture that is on one side of the chipboard and cause the chipboard to have a white appearance instead of a brown color. The coating can be used to offer more protection for the materials that end up in the chipboard containers.

Just like any cardboard boxes, the boxes made from chipboard can be custom made. They can be formed into different shapes to fit a wide range of objects. They can have flaps that make it easy to close or they can be turned into other less conventional types of boxes. All of this is done using a product that is less expensive than cardboard and is also better for the environment because of the use of recycled paper.

Where Are They Used?

Chipboard containers are used in many different places. Business can use them to hold many differ products including frozen dinners, toothpaste containers and the boxes that these products and others are shipped in. They can be used by an individual to store household items in the garage or attic. The versatility of this material allows people to use it in many ways. The ability to add graphics and to change the color of the boxes make them even more useful for businesses and individuals.
