The History of Box

The box was first mentioned in 1817 when it was used in the German board game The Game of Siege. During this period, an English industrialist named Malcolm Thornhill believed he made cardboard boxes out of a single sheet of paper, while others attributed him to M. Trevorton & Son. These boxes were made of ordinary cardboard. 

In the 1850s, another invention shaped the cardboard we know today. Reportedly, in 1856, Edward Allen and Edward Healy were looking for a material that could hold the shape of a tall hat. As a result, the couple allegedly invented the corrugated paper used as the lining for hats. In late 1871, Albert Jones of New York, USA, patented an "improvement in wrapping paper", giving birth to the corrugated board as we know it today. 

Twenty years later, Scottish-born paper bag factory owner Robert Gale combined structures and materials to create what is known as a modern cardboard box. He discovered that by adjusting the blades, he was able to both fold and cut the box in one step. And in 1879. he built the first mass-produced box.

Type of Boxes

Corrugated boxes

A carton is commonly known as a box. They are most commonly used as large transport, storage, and shoe boxes. However, the cardboard comes in different strengths and durability depending on the needs of the user. Nevertheless, cardboard is easy to identify. 

Each corrugated box has different properties, strengths, and uses. Cardboard is made by cutting and folding cardboard into various sizes and shapes. Corrugated boxes can be used for retail packaging, shipping boxes, pizza delivery boxes, and more. 

Paperboard boxes

Paperboard containers are products that use light and strong cardboard. Paperboard sheets can be easily shredded and molded into custom textures and shapes. These features make these containers an excellent choice for personalized packaging. 

It can be used for packaging pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, frozen foods, milk, juice, etc. These boxes are a good option for online sellers who prefer eco-friendly packaging options. These boxes are ideal for frozen and grocery items as they are less moisture-resistant. 

Rigid boxes

A rigid or upright box is a type of box used to pack expensive and luxury products such as iPhones and Rolex watches. These boxes are very durable and have a high-quality look. The box uses high-density cardboard that is thicker than a normal folding box. Rigid boxes are most commonly used for jewelry, gadgets, cosmetics, and other luxury items. 

Chipboard packaging

Chipboard packaging is most commonly used for electronic products, medical devices, cosmetics, food, and beverages. These boxes are made from recycled paper and are easy to cut and fold. These boxes are another economical packaging option for our products.

Plywood crates are lightweight, so they are not the ideal choice when handling heavy items. Specially made for food items such as cereals, tissue boxes, and crackers. Also, if stored in a humid environment, the box tends to weaken, causing swelling and discoloration.
