The Huge Variety of Cardboard Boxes
by Dillon Patterson Article PublisherCardboard boxes used to come in just one format, thin single skinned brown boxes in only a few set sizes, yet now you can buy then in any size that you want and in just about any colour that you want. You can have them printed with any logo or colour writing that you want.
They our also now made in a variety of thicknesses, from thin boxes used to package sandwiches up in supermarkets, through to very strong double walled cardboard boxes that feature glued and stapled seams, making them suitable for shipping even heavy machine parts from one country to another.
Boxes now can be bought with air pack linings making them ideal for shipping delicate parts in total security.

Cardboard boxes are now also widely used for transporting hot food in as it keeps the food warm, and is also very durable for shipping food in transit such as pizza deliveries.
