Medium Double Wall Cardboard Boxes Product Details
E-commerce businesses often need to strike a happy medium. The medium double wall cardboard box is the ideal packing solution for those average-size products that just need the middle ground. The medium box size is also a great compromise to keep in store in case of fluctuations in demand.
The double-fluted corrugated cardboard is both durable and versatile, and protects the encased products against drops, shakes, and – most importantly – side impacts while moving on conveyor belts.

How to measure a box?
When measuring a cardboard box, it is important to consider three key dimensions: length, width and height. These measurements provide the internal dimensions of the carton, allowing you to define the space available to pack products and ensure they fit properly.
The dimensions provided on our website are in Millimetres and are following the order LENGTH x WIDTH X HEIGHT.
To measure correctly a cardboard box follow these instructions:
1. Length: start by measuring the longest side of the box base
2. Width: rotate the box 90 degres and measured the other side of the box base
3. Height:measure the distance from the base to the top

What is our Circular Design Metrics?
One of the most important principles of the circular economy is designing for circularity, which involves products and services being designed with their end-of-life in mind, making it easier to recover and regenerate materials.
DS Smith has developed a series of circular design metrics which give us an accurate picture of the degree of implementation of circular design principles in the production of our packaging solutions and provide quantifiable data to show how circular a given packaging solution is and allow quick identification of the areas of improvement required.
Our Circular Design Metrics measure Supply Chain Optimisation, Recyclability, Planet Safety, Material Utilisation, Renewable Sources, Recycled Content, the Carbon Footprint and Design for Reuse.
