What Makes Corrugated Boxes Good for Gift Packing?

A corrugated cardboard box makes an ideal packing material due to its properties. It is protective in addition to being strong and also suitable in addition to being accommodative. Gift boxes depending on their size are used for packaging and transporting finished goods and also for packing gift items.

Paperboard boxes of all sizes are available on leading online stores including Amazon and Walmart. They are sold as retail units and also buyers can contact the manufacturers for bulk supplies. Reliability and availability are the two factors that considered the driving force behind popularity of cardboard packing boxes but the reality is that people have no choice other than using corrugated boxes for packing finished goods and gifts.

A steel container is stronger than cardboard box but it isn’t protective. If you pack a glass bottle in a steel container and push the packing, you will hear sound of glass colliding with steel and this collision can crack the bottle. Similarly, plastic box also can’t protect the glass bottle from collision with plastic body. But there is no such fear or apprehension with cardboard packing. 

Corrugated box is protective as it can keep the bottle firm as its place and if the bottle collides with the cardboard, it will bounce back to its position. The cardboard will act as a shock absorber for the bottle.

Plastic is quite sensitive towards temperature changes. Plastic molecules expand on heating and contract on cooling. It isn’t suitable for packing food materials as it releases toxic gases during high heat. Similarly, steel containers aren’t suitable for packing food items as steel can pass on the heat to the food. Steel and plastic containers can’t protect their contents from extreme temperature.

Corrugated cardboard boxes are suitable for packing food items as cardboard is a bad conductor of heat. It is only box packing that can prevent the food items from coming into contact with outside temperature.

It is easier to mold corrugated cardboard sheets into any shape than molding a plastic or metal sheet. It is for this reason that making extra-large boxes doesn’t cost dearly to manufacturers and buyers. But for molding plastic, you need a dye. Metal sheet can be used like paperboard but it is difficult to handle large metal sheets due to their weight.

Businesses can print their names, logos, signs and product information on cardboard packing. Also individuals can decorate their gift packs with messages, flowers, ribbons and bows. On the contrary, plastic and metal can neither be printed nor be colored. Cardboard manufacturers produce packing boxes in attractive colors and with eye-catchy designs.
