Why Choose Our Corrugated Boxes
Custom Corrugated Boxes That Protect Products and Build Brands
When your products need to survive warehousing, freight, last-mile delivery, and the customer's doorstep — corrugated boxes are the engineering solution. Branded Boxes manufactures custom corrugated packaging using A, B, C, E, and F-flute board in single, double, and triple-wall configurations. Each specification is selected based on your product's weight, fragility, and stacking requirements.
Corrugated That Markets as Hard as It Protects
The biggest shift in corrugated packaging over the last decade has been the rise of brand-printed shipping boxes. Today's brands understand that the corrugated box is the first physical touchpoint with an online customer — and they're investing in print quality to match. Our high-definition flexographic and digital printing brings your brand to life on corrugated board with crisp lines and accurate colors.
Construction Options
- Single-wall B-flute: Standard e-commerce and retail shipping
- Single-wall C-flute: Heavier consumer products
- Double-wall BC-flute: Industrial and fragile goods
- E-flute: Retail-ready corrugated with superior print surface
- Triple-wall: Bulk industrial shipping applications
Flute Selection: The Foundation of Corrugated Performance
Choosing the right flute is the most important corrugated decision you'll make. B-flute (3mm) is the e-commerce standard — strong, light, and cost-efficient. C-flute (4mm) handles heavier products with superior stacking strength. E-flute (1.5mm) delivers the smoothest print surface for retail-quality graphics on corrugated. Double-wall BC-flute combines both for maximum protection. Our packaging engineers help you identify the right specification for your product and shipping environment.
Printing Technologies for Corrugated Packaging
Corrugated printing has evolved dramatically. Our flexographic presses deliver consistent color across large runs at speed, while our digital corrugated press handles short-run and variable data jobs without tooling costs. Both produce sharp, vibrant results that turn your shipping box into a marketing asset. Water-based inks are standard across our corrugated production, keeping your supply chain sustainable.
RSC, Die-Cut, and Mailer Box Styles
Regular Slotted Containers (RSC) are the cost-efficient workhorse for shipping. Die-cut boxes enable custom shapes, auto-lock bottoms, and display configurations. Mailer boxes with self-locking designs eliminate tape at the packing station while creating a premium unboxing experience. We produce all three — and engineer the right style for your fulfillment workflow.

Corrugated Boxes in Illinois — FAQs
What ECT rating do I need for my corrugated boxes?
ECT (Edge Crush Test) measures stacking strength. A 32 ECT single-wall box handles most standard e-commerce applications. Heavier or stackable products benefit from 44 ECT or double-wall construction. We'll recommend the right rating based on your product weight and pallet configuration.
Can you print full color on corrugated boxes?
Yes. We offer high-definition flexographic printing for large runs and digital printing for short runs. E-flute provides the smoothest surface for photographic-quality printing. B-flute and C-flute deliver solid color and line graphics with excellent results.
What is the minimum order for custom corrugated boxes?
Minimum orders start at 50 units for standard sizes with digital printing. Flexographic printing runs typically start at 500 units due to plate costs. We'll recommend the right process based on your quantity.
Do corrugated boxes qualify as sustainable packaging?
Yes. Corrugated is one of the most sustainable packaging formats — over 90% of corrugated produced in the USA contains recycled fiber, and it's recovered for recycling at a higher rate than any other packaging material.
Can corrugated boxes be used for retail display?
Absolutely. E-flute corrugated with litho-laminated printing is a popular choice for point-of-purchase displays and shelf-ready packaging. The rigid structure holds its shape on retail floors and shelves without bowing or collapsing.

Yes. We ship to all Illinois cities. Ground delivery to Chicago is 2-3 business days from production.
