Corrugated board is the wavy-centered cardboard used for shipping boxes and store displays. The flutes inside make it strong and light at the same time, which is why it’s the default for anything that has to travel or carry weight.
Cardboard display stands and corrugated display boxes put products on the shop floor or counter. More display styles are in display packaging.
For shipping, see custom corrugated boxes, kraft corrugated boxes and mailer boxes, or the full shipping boxes range.
E-flute is thin and prints well, B-flute is a good all-rounder, and double wall handles heavy items. Our guides on what corrugated packaging is, single vs double wall and cardstock vs corrugated explain the options.

For warehouse-to-door shipping, the workhorse is a regular slotted carton. Custom corrugated boxes and custom shipping boxes are both cut to your product’s real size, single, double or triple wall depending on the weight. Color is the main split after that. Kraft corrugated boxes are brown and honest, usually with a one color logo, while white shipping boxes have a bright white outer liner that makes full color print pop (it shows scuffs a little more too, fair warning).
For online brands the opening matters. Mailer shipping boxes fold together with no tape and lift open like a lid, E-flute for lighter items and B-flute once things get heavier. The tab lock roll end box is a close cousin with a roll-over front and locking tabs, and we’d pick it when the box needs to look neat on a shelf as well as survive the trip.
Not everything corrugated ends up on a truck, mind you. Our corrugated display boxes are printed trays that sit near the till holding your product up, and if you need something taller for a launch or a holiday aisle there are the cardboard display stands, which go right on the floor. Both ship flat. Putting one together usually takes a few minutes and no tools.
Not sure about single or double wall? Just send the packed weight and tell us if it goes out on pallets or loose by parcel, and we’ll pick one. It shows on the digital proof. No guessing.
