Some History About Corrugated Boxes.

GBE Packaging has been a low-price leader on the WEB since 1998 for quality corrugated shipping boxes. First a little history: It's said the first cardboard boxes were invented in England around 1817, by Sir Malcolm Thornhill. The first boxes were made from single sheets of cardboard and eventually became very popular when the food industry started to use them, namely the Kellogg Company started using them to package cereals. Corrugated paper was invented in England in 1856 and was first used as hat liners. The first single-sided corrugated cardboard was patented in 1871, and the first precut cardboard box was invented in 1890. Corrugated boxes, as we know them today were invented in 1895. Today corrugated boxes are one of the most popular of all the product packaging as they not only box your product, but it protects your product from damage, dust, dirt, and moisture. Many vendors will wrap or also encase their products with blister packs, heat seal bags, vacuum heat seal bags, poly bags, or zipper bags but whatever you do to package your products, you still will need a good quality corrugated box to get your products to the end users.

Most Companies Purchase Corrugated Boxes on Price.

Most companies buy cardboard boxes based on their price. They want a quality box for the lowest price to protect their profit margin. If you can save 5 cents on every box all year the savings are obvious. This is where we come in. Since 1998 our only goal has been to save you money on quality corrugated shipping boxes.

Size is Everything if you are Shipping Corrugated Boxes.

Since 1998 GBE Packaging has supplied all kinds of businesses with the stock corrugated boxes they need to package and protect their products or safely move their belongings or valuable merchandise. Stock corrugated boxes are still the most popular product packaging container, but one thing has changed. Dimensional Weight Charges: When packing your products in stock corrugated boxes today, the size footprint of your product now represents real shipping costs if shipping is involved. Every inch will increase the cost of the shipment. If you’re not careful with your choice of box, you can be hit with hefty dimensional weight shipping charges. If you can use a smaller box, you save money on shipping, it’s that simple. Gone are the days of buying one style of over-sized corrugated boxes and attempting to compensate with additional void fill packaging material, well not only are you spending money on additional void fill for your box, but the additional size will cost you in shipping fees. You can cut down larger boxes but using a more expensive box for a smaller product quickly eats into your profit margin. Basically, you want your shipment size to be as small as possible now with the addition of dimensional weights from the shipping carriers.

One of our long-time customers ships a certain popular gift basket and the shipping costs went from $7 to almost $11 overnight due to dimensional weight so we helped them find a smaller carton and method to lighten the gift basket and still show excellent customer value. We stock thousands of sizes of stock corrugated shipping boxes so you can find the right box that fits your requirements, and we can help you find the right void fill for your box that will help you pack or ship your contents safely and still look professional.

Not sure about the size or style of Corrugated Box you need?

In some situations, the packers are unable to get an idea about the depth of the box required to fit the goods. For this specific reason, we have manufactured multi-depth corrugated boxes. Their multi-depth box feature helps get the desired box height to ship or store different sizes of products, just fold the top flaps at the desired height and seal the box. Multiple items or jobs can be stored in a multi-depth box that helps in saving packing and shipping costs, making it an economical packaging option. These boxes can also be reused. Please be sure to protect your box contents with the proper amount of void fill. No corrugated box will protect your delicate products or work alone.

Label Tip for your Corrugated Box.

We can recommend many money saving tips: One is Crack and Peel Label Paper that can be printed at almost any local offset print shop using 1 to 4 colors or even your own laser printer in house and those labels will look great on any stock box and cost you about 1/4 the price of a custom printed cardboard box. The white labels look great on any box, especially the white corrugated boxes giving you a truly unique look. We also stock any pre-printed shipping label you might need for your boxes.
