Full details
These single wall cardboard boxes, specifically the 7x5x5" size, are ideal for individuals and small businesses needing reliable packaging for mailing, posting, picking, packing, and shipping. Their lightweight design helps reduce postage costs while the quality stock cardboard offers robust protection for items during transit. A minor limitation is their single wall construction, which may not be suitable for extremely heavy or fragile items without additional padding.

FAQs
Are these boxes suitable for very fragile items?
While these boxes offer good protection for general shipping, they are single-walled. For very fragile items, we recommend adding ample internal cushioning like bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or foam inserts, or considering a double-walled box for superior protection.
How many boxes come in a pack?
This product listing is for a pack of 10 boxes in your chosen size, including the 7x5x5" option.
Can these boxes be used for international shipping?
Yes, these boxes are suitable for both domestic and international shipping, provided they are packed appropriately for the rigors of transit.
What is the weight limit for these boxes?
The product description does not specify a precise weight limit. However, for single-walled boxes, it is generally recommended to keep contents under 20-30 lbs to ensure structural integrity during shipping. Always test with your specific contents and shipping method.
How do I assemble the boxes?
The boxes ship flat. Simply fold along the pre-scored lines to form the box shape and secure the bottom flaps with packing tape. Close and tape the top flaps after filling.
Are these boxes recyclable?
Yes, these boxes are made from quality stock cardboard and are 100% reusable and recyclable.
What does 'single wall' mean?
Single wall construction means the cardboard has one layer of fluting (the wavy layer) sandwiched between two flat layers of paper. This provides a good balance of strength and cost-effectiveness for general use.
Troubleshooting
Box flaps won't stay closed.
Ensure you are using adequate packing tape and applying it firmly to all seams, especially the center seam of the bottom flaps.
Box feels flimsy during packing.
Verify all creases are sharp and the box is fully formed. Consider reinforcing the bottom and top seams with extra tape or using a slightly larger, double-walled box for heavier contents.
Box arrived damaged.
Inspect the packaging immediately. If damaged, document the condition before use. Consider using a different box size or type for the item if the damage compromises its integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boxes are shipped flat and require simple folding to assemble. Align the pre-scored creases and tuck in the flaps to form a sturdy rectangular shape. Secure the bottom flaps with packing tape for optimal strength. The top flaps can then be closed and secured similarly once the item is packed.
Compatibility: Compatible with standard shipping carriers and tape. The kraft exterior accepts labels, stamps, and markers clearly. Ensure the item being packed fits comfortably within the 7x5x5" internal dimensions.
Care: Store boxes in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain their integrity. Avoid stacking excessively heavy items on top of them when stored flat. Clean any scuffs or dirt with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid saturation.
