Buying corrugated boxes looks simple, but many buyers face problems like wrong strength or ply, poor paper quality, incorrect sizing, moisture damage, delayed deliveries, and hidden costs. Oversized boxes raise freight charges, while weak ones risk product damage and returns.
To avoid these issues, buyers should test samples, choose the right strength and flute type, clarify full costs, ensure timely supply, and check for certifications and sustainability. The cheapest option isn’t always the most cost-effective — reliable suppliers and proper specifications protect both products and reputation.
