Product type
5-ply boxes are a type of corrugated packaging made from five layers of paperboard, providing enhanced strength and durability compared to standard 3-ply boxes. The construction typically includes an outer liner, inner liner, and three fluted layers in between, which create air pockets that add cushioning and resistance to impacts. These boxes are commonly used for shipping heavy or fragile items, as they offer superior protection during transport and storage.
