What Makes an Export Carton Different
An export carton travels further and is stacked higher than a local shipping box. It must hold its strength in humid containers and keep products safe when pallets are stacked in warehouses. That is why our printed export boxes use 5-ply board, a double-wall construction that gives more stacking strength than a single-wall box.
For lighter goods, a Corrugated Carton Boxes 5-Ply Double Wall Wholesale may be enough. For very heavy or bulk loads, the Corrugated Carton Boxes Die-Cut Mailer Wholesale adds a third wall.
5 Best Ways Printed Export Boxes Protect Your Goods
- Double-wall strength: 5-ply board resists crushing when cartons are stacked on pallets.
- Tested batches: every batch is tested for edge crush (ECT) and burst strength.
- Right flute choice: B, C, E, BC or EB flutes match the board to your load and print needs.
- Clear marking: 1 to 4 colour flexo printing carries your brand, product codes and handling symbols.
- Correct sizing: boxes are made to your inner dimensions so products do not move inside.
How to Specify Printed Export Boxes
- Inner dimensions (length x width x height in mm).
- Contents weight and how high the cartons will be stacked.
- Style: RSC, die-cut, half-slotted or telescope.
- Print: plain or 1 to 4 colour flexo, with vector artwork.
- Certification: FSC board on request.
Most export cartons use the regular slotted container (RSC) style, which is the most material-efficient design. The European FEFCO code is the common way to name box styles with suppliers.
Shipping Flat Boxes When You Buy Corrugated Carton Boxes Printed Export Wholesale in Europe
Boxes are delivered flat. They are bundled 20 to 50 pieces, strapped, stacked on 120 x 100 cm pallets up to 150 cm high and stretch-wrapped. A pallet weighs about 420 kg, and because the boxes are flat, one container holds a very large number of cartons.
The minimum order is 1 x 20ft container, with at least 5,000 boxes per size. You can combine several sizes, or add other items from our corrugated carton boxes range such as the Corrugated Carton Boxes 3-Ply Single Wall Wholesale, in the same container.
Price Drivers and EU Rules
Box prices follow paper prices, so each offer is written for your order. The board area, board grade, number of print colours, any new cutting die, the Incoterm and the total volume decide the price per thousand boxes. Compare offers on a CIF basis using the ICC Incoterms rules.
Corrugated boxes are declared under HS code 4819.10; check your duty in the EU TARIC database. The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40 applies from August 2026 and encourages packaging that is sized to the product, which a made-to-measure export carton supports.
