When it comes to shipping food and beverages, businesses need a packaging solution that’s reliable, protective and cost-effective. That’s why corrugated cardboard is the industry’s number one material for bulk shipping.
But why is this material the go-to choice for food and beverage transportation? Let’s think inside the box.
Cardboard, particularly corrugated cardboard, is a favourite in the food industry for many reasons:
So, why is corrugated cardboard ideal for food and beverage shipping? It offers:
Food and beverages are often delicate and need protection during transit. Corrugated boxes act as a much needed cushion, absorbing shocks and preventing damage from impacts. The layered structure of corrugated cardboard provides exceptional strength, making it a reliable choice for bulk shipping of fragile items like glass bottles, canned goods and even fresh produce.
Moisture is the enemy of many food products, and thankfully, corrugated cardboard can be fantastic at keeping water out. Additionally, its insulating properties help regulate temperature, making it suitable for items that need to stay cool or dry. When paired with ice packs or liners, corrugated boxes help preserve the quality of perishable goods during transit.
Food packaging must meet strict safety regulations,and corrugated cardboard is up to the task. Not only are we certified to BRCGS food grade standards. Our corrugated cardboard is manufactured using food-safe adhesives and inks, ensuring no harmful chemicals contaminate the products. Plus, corrugated boxes are often single-use in the food industry, reducing the risk of cross-contamination, which is a key consideration in food safety compliance.
Beyond protection, corrugated cardboard offers incredible branding opportunities. Our bespoke design services allow you to create packaging that reflects your brand identity, with custom printing for logos, handling instructions and engaging visuals that elevate the unboxing experience. Custom-fit boxes reduce wasted space, making logistics more efficient and reducing overall shipping costs. Plus, with sustainable design options, you can minimise material waste and support your eco-friendly initiatives.
Corrugated cardboard isn’t just a box, it’s a game-changer for the food and beverage industry. It protects, insulates, complies with safety regulations and even supports sustainable business practices. Whether you’re shipping fresh produce, delicate pastries or even bottles of craft beer, corrugated boxes are the tried-and-tested solution that keeps products safe and customers even happier.
