Whether you are a manufacturer, shipper or someone moving across town
, you could need boxes in Chicago. Boxes made of corrugated cardboard are lightweight but sturdy. They can keep the items packed inside safe whether they are being shipped across town or around the globe.
When moving, boxes in several sizes are needed. The smaller boxes are great for heavy items like books. The larger boxes will allow bulky light weight items to be contained in one box. You will also find specialty boxes that allow you to move clothing on hangers or to protect a mattress from dirt when being moved.
At the manufacturing business, shipping is made easier when you use cardboard boxes. Boxes readily accept your labels or printing before they are assembled. You can order stock sizes or custom sizes that fit specialty packaging for items that might get broken.
Many boxes are shipped flat to you. They pop open and each end has four flaps that fold in to be taped or glued. The bottom is assembled, your items are placed inside with padding and then the top is closed. You can also purchase boxes that have a separate lid, like those used for apples and bananas. A box can be built onto a pallet for easy loading with a forklift.
When shipping food products, wax coated boxes prevent the spills from the food from soaking the cardboard causing smells or weakening its integrity. Wet produce such as lettuce or meats such as chicken are often shipped in these boxes that allow spills to drain away while retaining moisture in the product.
Boxes in Chicago may be used for many different purposes. Moving boxes are often sold through both self move and professional moving companies. Manufacturers, distributors and other suppliers usually purchase boxes through wholesalers and use them to prevent damage to products being shipped.
