Single wall boxes have one layer of corrugated cardboard and are best for lightweight items, while double wall boxes have two layers and offer greater strength and protection for heavier or fragile goods.
Here’s a detailed comparison to help you choose the right type for your packaging needs:

- Industrial packaging
- Fragile goods (glassware, electronics)
- Long-distance or international shipping
