Corrugated packaging for building products
Businesses that ship building products can request a corrugated box quote from Ontario Box Quotes. Your request is passed to a packaging supplier, who contacts you with a quote. This page lists the box types that usually fit and what to include.
What building products businesses usually ship
Building materials and products such as boards, fixtures, tools and fittings, which are often long, dense or heavy.
The right box depends on weight, fragility, stacking, print and storage. The suggestions below are a starting point, and a supplier will confirm the best match for your product.
Box types that fit building products
Bulk packs
Large boxes hold heavy or awkward products moving in volume.
Corrugated pads and sheets
Sheets protect surfaces and edges between layers on a pallet.
HSC boxes
An open-top box suits long or irregular products loaded from above.
FOL boxes
Full overlap flaps add stiffness for heavier loads.
What to include in your quote request
Length and weight
The longest dimension and the weight of one unit or one filled box.
Storage conditions
Whether product sits outdoors or in damp places, since moisture weakens corrugated board.

How packs are palletized and how high they are stacked.
