Question 4

Q4. What can I do to reduce breakages in transit?

Question 5

Q5. What is "Subscribe & Save" on your packaging supplies?

Accepted Answer

Mailcoms have recently launched a brand new “Subscribe & Save” feature to our website. This allows you to have a subscription or multiple subscriptions for any items that you require on a regular basis. We understand that storing packaging supplies is not easy as the items take up space. So receiving regular deliveries will not only help you save space but it will also give you the comfort of knowing you will never run out of what you need. As a reward for subscribing, we will even give you a 10% discount on your subscription items.

Question 6

Q6. What is corrugated cardboard?

Accepted Answer

A term you may keep seeing on our packaging supplies products is “corrugated cardboard”. Corrugated cardboard is corrugated fiberboard and it is manufactured by gluing a flat sheet of paper to a corrugated fluted sheet of paper. This kind of cardboard can be manufactured to safely transport a wide variety of items of different size, card thickness and colour.

Question 7

Q7. What is the difference between single and double wall cardboard boxes?

Accepted Answer

We can supply both single wall and double wall cardboard boxes – but what is the difference exactly? A single wall cardboard box is the most common type of cardboard box. They consist of one fluted medium piece of cardboard between two sheets of linerboard.

A double wall cardboard box however is thicker and therefore stronger meaning they can hold larger items more securely. They consist of two fluted medium pieces of cardboard sandwiched between three sheets of linerboard.
