1 - The cardboard is solid
Contrary to popular belief, cardboard is a resistant material that, once transformed into a crate, can withstand loads of several tens of kilos. It is for this reason that it is used to transport your belongings during a move.
This is due to its composition: the wall of the cardboard, called "groove", determines the thickness of the cardboard packaging. It consists of one or more corrugated paper(s) located between two plan papers. When there is a single corrugated paper between the two plan papers, it is called "single-groove cardboard". When there are two, it is called "double-groove cardboard". When there are three, we speak of "triple-groove cardboard". And we stop here for the number of grooves!
Of course, the more grooves a cardboard has, the stronger it is and will withstand heavy loads. Thus, if you want to pack fragile and / or heavy objects, it is better to use a double or even triple groove cardboard. For light or not very fragile objects, you can settle for a single-groove cardboard.
2 - Cardboard is versatile
If there is one packaging that can be used for many uses, it is cardboard! It can very well serve:
*transport box for a move or for a delivery
*shipping packaging for postal items of small parcels
*packaging packaging for products of all kinds (perfume, food, computers, toys, medicines, etc.)
*storage and storage boxes for your archives and other objects that you do not use often
*It is therefore used in all aspects of modern life, which is not likely to make it fall into oblivion!
3 - Cardboard is convenient
Indeed, cardboard packaging is convenient because it takes up little space when not in use. You just need to put it flat and store it in a corner of your home. You can even decide to store several dozen boxes flat next to each other, this storage will be very space-saving! This is an asset compared to rigid plastic or wooden bins.
But that's not all: even when it is mounted in the crate and contains objects, its storage remains simple and practical thanks to its rectangular shape! Simply stack the boxes on one on the other. As they are closed by solid flaps, the upper part of the cardboard remains flat, which allows a pile of the boxes without difficulty.
