In this post, we will introduce a few corrugated carton boxes with partitions. Below are the specifications required by the client.
PART ONE – CORRUGATED BOXES
Materials
We would preferably like to have the recycled fibers for the corrugated board. Otherwise, virgin fibers are an alternative if they are the only way to deliver the minimum required mechanical properties.
Total Carton Weight
Each corrugated carton box should not exceed 25 lbs once filled with products.
Carton Content
The products will be sent to different countries. The shipping cartons will be varied by the export countries.
TRADE products for USA must be bundled by 3, then 4 bundles must be placed in each corrugated printed box.
TRADE products for other countries can be packed unbundled in corrugated cartons (no need for bundles of 3, not need for a given number of 12 units per carton box).
Corrugated Box Dimensions
Shipping carton dimensions must be preferably selected so that it allows an efficient pallet pattern on US (40”x48”) pallets and/or European (800x1200mm) pallets.
Ideally also, if the corrugated shipping boxes allow pallet patterns with interlocked layers, this is a preferable choice.”
Corrugated Carton Dieline
Regular Slotted Container (RSC), as per FEFCO definition.
Standard corrugated carton box with the most common closing of lids – with a wide range of applications. Option for cases with full color plus solid pantone color prints, 3- or 5-layer cardboard, brown or white cover.

PART TWO – PARTITIONS
Scope and Application
The partitions are required for TRADE products when tye are not individually packed in folding carton, tray and when not bundled by 3.
Partition Materials
SBS carton board, coated on its two sides (C2S). It can be clay coated or made of milk board also coated on both sides.
Clay coat is more expensive than chipboard. But it provides a clean and aesthetically pleasing look while being a great choice for protecting cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
Milk board is coated on both sides, providing all-around protection from spills, breaks, and scratches on our products. It is FDA approved for direct contact with the food products themselves.
Do not use coating made of any plastic or resin (PE, PU…).
Thickness
0.018” (18pts) to 0.024” (24pts).
Partition Structure
As per this example; each cavity should be surrounded with partition walls.
