Double Wall Cardboard Boxes
Double wall cardboard boxes use two layers of corrugated board for serious strength, ideal for heavier, valuable or fragile items that need extra protection in transit.
When to use double wall
Choose double wall for heavy loads, fragile goods or anything you want to ship with confidence. The extra layer resists crushing and impacts better than single wall.

Frequently asked questions
What is a double wall box?
A double wall cardboard box is a packaging solution that is manufactured from double wall cardboard instead of single wall cardboard. This means that there are 2 layers of corrugated cardboard instead of 1, increasing the strength and resistance of the box.
What are double wall boxes used for?
Double walled cardboard boxes are a popular mailing box type that is often used for shipping goods via a carrier or postal network. Double walled cardboard boxes are perfectly suited to protect much heavier items & objects and when stacking may be required. Double walled packing boxes are also perfect for any large-scale transport, storage or shipping operation where protection of items is key. You may need them for short or long term storage boxes, for apartment packing or for cross-country shipping operations.
What is the difference between single and double wall cardboard boxes?
We can supply both single wall and double wall cardboard boxes – but what is the difference exactly? A single wall cardboard box is the most common type of cardboard box. They consist of one fluted medium piece of cardboard between two sheets of linerboard.A double wall cardboard box however is thicker and therefore stronger meaning they can hold larger items more securely. They consist of two fluted medium pieces of cardboard sandwiched between three sheets of linerboard.
Should I use a single wall or double wall cardboard box?
The answer to this is both! We know that sounds confusing so bear with us. Both types of cardboard box are manufactured from high quality cardboard and perform the job they are intended for. However, the type of box you require will vary package to package based on the content you are sending. If your items are heavier than normal items (such as dumbbells), then a double wall cardboard box is what you need. But if your items are quite light (such as trainers), save the money and get a single wall cardboard box that will do the job just as well. Our best advice is do research into your items and base the decision on this information. Or for further help and assistance please do not hesitate to contact Mailcoms where we will be happy to assist.
