Product type
3-ply boxes are a type of corrugated packaging made from three layers of paperboard, which typically consist of an inner liner, an outer liner, and a fluted medium sandwiched between them. This construction provides strength and durability, making them suitable for various shipping and storage needs. They are commonly used to protect products during transit and to provide a lightweight yet sturdy packaging solution.
