Storing and organizing things have always been a tedious and challenging task. But, to make the transportation easier and protection of essential belongings, we use boxes.
It is critical to choose the right size of the box as then it will either take up much space or your item won’t fit inside the box. There are varied types of boxes which are suited for different purposes. Let us see the different kinds of boxes and when to use them.
1. Right Boxes for Storage and Organizing
Storing and organizing things
have always been a tedious and
challenging task. But, to make
the transportation easier and
protection of essential
belongings, we use boxes.
The cardboard boxes are primarily used to
move objects from one place to another. You
can also store the items in these boxes and
open and use them when required.
It is critical to choose the right size of the box
as then it will either take up much space or
your item won’t fit inside the box.
There are varied types of boxes which are
suited for different purposes. Let us see the
different kinds of boxes and when to use
them.
2. Different Types of Cardboard Boxes
Corrugated Boxes
The most commonly used boxes. These
are the brown cardboard boxes which we
use for storing materials.
These are used for shipping as they can
be of any size which can fit most of the
materials.
If you are looking for boxes to move
materials from one place to the other,
you can use them.
You can use the double ply boxes instead
of single ply box, as they are sturdier
than the latter.
3. Rigid Boxes
When any material of higher value is shipped, a rigid plate is used. They
don’t collapse easily and the material used is pretty thick and strong.
Folding cartons may collapse under pressure, but these boxes are very
sturdy. When we order for any phone or watches, they are shipped via
these boxes.
4. Folding Cartons
These cheap storage boxes are made from paperboard and are usually used for
storing retail items. They are not very sturdy and can collapse.
They are typically used for organizing smaller things in it, which can be kept in a
larger box further before storing. Any material which weighs much can’t be
stored in it.
5. Size of Boxes
Smaller Boxes
They have a height of less than 400 mm. If you are looking for
boxes for carrying small sized but bulky items like books, you
can use them. They are also perfect for carrying fragile things
like any glass vessels or decorative items.
Medium Boxes
Their height is usually around 430 mm. They are useful for
storing light-weight items like toys, clothes, vessels, etc. Don’t
put a lot of heavy stuff in these boxes as it will become
inconvenient to carry them.
Large Boxes
They have a height of about 550 mm or even more. You can
store very big items which are not heavy like blankets,
pillows, kitchen appliances, winter garments etc.
