4 Creative Ways To Re-Use or Repurpose Cardboard Boxes

Monday, March 26th, 2012

You can never underestimate the utility of a cardboard box. Children love them, adults have plenty of uses for them. After a big move, most people find themselves overrun with their leftover, gently-used cardboard boxes.

Here are six ways to reuse or re-purpose them, so they don’t just end up back in a landfill.

1. Organized Storage
Most people already make use of cardboard shipping boxes to store their belongings. Since items can be categorized based on use or season, the cardboard box can be labeled for easy identification, so you can retrieve things quickly. This way if you have things you don’t want to throw away, but don’t want hanging around, you can put them away for the season, or until you need them.

2. Chemical Waste Bins
With the addition of a plastic liner, small to medium sized boxes can be reused as trash cans. Since most chemical packaging such as paint and industrial cleaners, will leave spots and stains on your shelves or the floor of your garage, boxes add one more layer of protection to keep your garage nice and clean.

3. Composting
Cardboard is fully biodegradable. After letting your compost’s microbes chew on the cardboard for a few months, it can easily be turned into a great addition to the soil in your lawn or garden.

4. Mailing Packages
If the cardboard is not heavily used, it can easily be reused to send gifts to faraway friends and relatives during the holidays. Even if the box has some blemishes or small defects, usually packing tape can cover it up and make it good as new.

By reusing cardboard in one of these four ways, you help keep it out of landfills and reduce your carbon footprint. We’re all struggling to survive on this planet, so we each need to do our part to protect it as much as we can.

Corrugated Cardbord Packaging Supply Benefits

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

While corrugated cardboard isn’t usually perceived to be a pinnacle of high technology, the material is one of the most specially engineered based on an arched paper design known as fluting. This is the if you rip off the topmost piece of paper you can clearly see the fluting in cardboard. This fluting provides increased compression strength making the material extremely durable, easily producible, space-effective due to it’s folding design. There are three benefits to using corrugated cardboard as your packaging supply of choice.

Protective Qualities
In addition to the compression strength, fluting provides the contents of any box with superior cushioning. During shipping if objects inside move around, the fluting compresses slightly to absorb the impact. Corrugated boxes can vary in sizes, thickness, and layers of fluting for greater cushioning and durability. Finally corrugated material has tear resistant properties to keep the packaging pristine and protect products during the shipping cycle.

Custom Packaging
Machines used to make corrugated cardboard can be calibrated fairly easily to produce boxes of different dimensions. There are many different cardboard types, weights, adhesives and treatments. You can pick and choose among these qualities depending on the design of your packaging. Options range for simple inexpensive solutions to complex packaging for ample protection or visual appeal. You can also choose to have cardboard printed with your company logo, and even treated with flame resistant chemicals. Pretty much anything you can imagine you can achieve through all of the options corrugated cardboard provides.

Cost-Effective
Cardboard boxes usually rank on the bottom in terms of shipping packaging prices. This is because cardboard is easy to produce and lightweight, reducing shipping costs to a minimum. Cardboard can be used to achieve multiple purposes such as shipping, storage, and even advertising and brand-building.
