The perfect size box should be just slightly bigger than the item being shipped, just enough to accommodate some protective material around the product, to prevent it from getting damaged during storage or transportation. Keep in mind it is best to use the smallest box you can work with to ensure shipping costs are kept to a minimum.

The most common double wall carton material is 42ECT with BC fluting, this board grade can be used to create many different box styles, generally being used for larger and heavier parts. However if the box is going to be exposed to extreme handling conditions heavier board grades are available in double wall materials without having to step up to a triple wall box.

Edge crush test (ECT) describes the weight capacity the corrugated cardboard can safely withstand during stacking and palletization without deforming.  Double wall cartons are available in 42ECT, 48ECT and 51ECT.

The flute is the layer in between the cardboard liners. There are various sizes of flutes. Larger flute provides more protection as it has the ability to absorb more shock. Short flutes have a greater crush resistance. B and C flutes are the most commonly used flutes in double wall cartons. For more heavy-duty boxes or containers flutes can be combined, for example A/C, B/C, B/E.
