Why Choose Corrugated
Corrugated Material — Engineering Strength Into Every Shipping and Retail Box
Corrugated board is the engineering material of the packaging world — its fluted inner layer creates a structural system that delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio through geometry rather than mass. The same principle that makes corrugated board strong enough to ship refrigerators also makes it the ideal material for lightweight e-commerce packaging that must survive a carrier network without excessive weight.
We produce corrugated packaging in A, B, C, E, and F-flute configurations, in single-wall, double-wall, and triple-wall constructions. Each combination of flute type and wall count creates a specific structural performance profile matched to the product, shipping environment, and retail application.
Flute Selection Guide
A-flute (5mm, largest) provides the best cushioning for fragile products. B-flute (3mm) is the e-commerce standard — balanced protection and printability. C-flute (4mm) provides more stacking strength for heavier products. E-flute (1.5mm) has the smoothest print surface of any corrugated option, approaching folding carton quality. F-flute (0.8mm) is the thinnest, used for retail-ready packaging close to folding carton dimensions. We select flute based on product weight, protection requirements, and print quality priorities.
ECT Ratings for Stacking Performance
Edge Crush Test (ECT) rating measures how much downward force a corrugated box wall can sustain before buckling — the key predictor of stacking performance in warehouse and retail environments. 32 ECT is the standard for single-wall e-commerce boxes. 44 ECT handles heavier products. Double-wall constructions achieve 48-71 ECT for maximum stacking strength. We calculate the required ECT rating based on your product weight, box dimensions, and maximum pallet stack height.
Corrugated as a Sustainable Material
Corrugated board is one of the most sustainable packaging materials available: over 90% of corrugated board produced in the USA contains recycled fiber; it is recovered and recycled at a higher rate than any other packaging material; and the structural strength of corrugated comes from its geometry rather than material mass, making it inherently material-efficient. FSC-certified corrugated from responsibly managed forest sources is available for brands with specific sustainability certifications.
Custom Packaging for the World's Most Demanding Market
New York City sets the global standard for packaging quality in fashion, luxury goods, cosmetics, and consumer brands. What works on Fifth Avenue and in Barneys must be genuinely premium — not premium-adjacent. The concentration of global luxury brands, independent fashion designers, Michelin-starred food producers, and world-class DTC companies in New York City creates a packaging market where quality is the baseline, not a differentiator. Branded Boxes produces packaging that meets New York's uncompromising standards.
New York City Fashion and Luxury Packaging
New York City is the fashion capital of the Western Hemisphere and a center for luxury retail that rivals Paris, Milan, and Tokyo. Packaging for New York fashion brands, luxury retailers, and prestige consumer products must communicate quality at the highest global standard. Soft-touch lamination, foil stamping, premium rigid boxes, and specialty papers from European mills are the baseline for New York luxury brand packaging. We produce luxury packaging for New York's most demanding brands.
Brooklyn and Downtown NYC Artisan and DTC Packaging
Brooklyn's artisan food scene, Williamsburg's independent fashion brands, and Downtown Manhattan's DTC startup ecosystem have created one of the world's most dynamic markets for premium-but-accessible packaging. Digital printing from 50 units makes premium packaging accessible for Brooklyn's indie brands, while our production quality matches the standards of the New York market's most discerning consumers.

Corrugated Packaging in New York — FAQs
What flute type is best for e-commerce shipping?
B-flute (3mm, 32 ECT) is the standard for most e-commerce applications — it handles products up to 20 lbs in typical carrier network conditions. Fragile or heavy products benefit from C-flute or double-wall BC construction. E-flute is preferred when graphic print quality is the priority on lightweight products.
What is double-wall corrugated and when is it needed?
Double-wall corrugated uses two fluted layers bonded between three liner sheets (e.g., BC double-wall combines B and C flute). The result is approximately double the stacking strength and cushioning of single-wall. It is used for heavy products (over 20 lbs), fragile products, and industrial shipping where maximum protection is required.
Can corrugated boxes be fully branded with color printing?
Yes. Flexographic printing for large runs delivers consistent brand color on corrugated at low cost. Digital printing enables short runs and variable data. E-flute with litho-laminated printing achieves the highest print quality on corrugated — close to folding carton quality.
Is corrugated packaging environmentally sustainable?
Yes. Corrugated is recovered for recycling at approximately 96% in the USA — the highest recovery rate of any packaging material. Most corrugated contains significant post-consumer recycled fiber content. It is one of the most environmentally favorable packaging formats available.

Custom corrugated boxes start at 50 units with digital printing. Flexographic printing is available from 500 units.
