Heavy-duty cardboard boxes for shipping and distribution
Tertiary packaging plays a vital role in protecting products during storage, handling, and transport. It’s the last line of defence between your goods and the outside world, so strength and consistency are essential.
Our tertiary boxes are designed for large-scale commercial and industrial use, offering superior protection for palletised or bulk shipments. Built from high-strength cardboard, they help prevent damage in transit, improve stack stability, and reduce reliance on plastic-based outer packaging.
Cardboard packaging built for logistics performance
Our tertiary packaging gives commercial operators a reliable way to ship and store goods safely while meeting sustainability requirements.
Reliable cardboard for bulk and export packaging
We supply tertiary packaging boxes for manufacturers, distributors, and logistics providers handling heavy or high-value loads.
- Formats: large outer cartons, pallet boxes, and reinforced shipping boxes
- Materials: double or triple-walled corrugated, kraft-lined, or laminated greyboard
- Applications: export packaging, warehousing, pallet transport, and long-distance shipping
Each box is built for endurance, offering the compression strength and dimensional stability needed for demanding supply chains.
