We’re here to help you get the packaging you need

As the UK’s largest distributor of protective packaging materials, we can help you with double wall cartons to suit any business.


A box’s ‘wall’ is the corrugated cardboard from which it is made. A single wall is made from three layers of board; a central fluted layer sandwiched between two smooth outer layers. It is the fluted layer that gives the board its strength.


Double walled boxes have two fluted layers, with a smooth layer between them and two smooth outer layers. Due to this, double wall boxes are stronger and more rigid.



As a rough guideline, our standard double walled cardboard boxes can typically handle weights ranging from 5 to 30 kilograms. However, it’s important to note that these weight limits are approximate and can vary based on the specific construction of the box.


If you have specific weight requirements, talk to us about the specification of your product and we will source the right box for you.



The double wall cardboard is incorporated by using two rows of specialised fluting.


This adds all the protection you need to ensure safe transit and lasting storage for heavier or bulky items. This is a much stronger box than using a single wall cardboard box. 



The double wall cardboard is incorporated by using two rows of specialised fluting.


If you examine the edges or flaps of the box, you will see the two rows in a wave formation, sandwiched together by a cardboard sheet. The amount of fluting indicated the number of walls.



Yes, all corrugated cardboard cartons can be recycled. Boxes made from cardboard are largely recycled at kerbside and can be recycled in home collections. 



Double wall cardboard boxes offer several advantages, particularly when extra strength, durability and protection are required. Here are the key benefits:


  • Increased strength and durability
  • Enhanced product protection
  • Increased impact absorption
  • Higher weight capacity
  • Versatility

As double wall cartons are so versatile, they can be utilised across many industries. These include:


  • eCommerce and Retail
  • Manufacturing
  • Automotive
  • Food and Beverage
  • Furniture and Home Goods
  • Pharmaceuticals

Unparalleled range of double wall boxes

With hundreds of boxes on hand, you can be confident that whatever you need, Macfarlane Packaging can supply the double walled cardboard you need.

With over 30 sizes available, we offer one of the largest ranges of double wall boxes in the UK and Ireland. Double walled boxes have enhanced strength and durability, making them an excellent choice for handling heavier loads. As they are constructed from double wall cardboard, these heavy-duty boxes are more robust and capable of withstanding greater pressures. 

With the majority of our core range containing 100% recycled content and manufactured using FSC® certified materials, our double wall boxes are a sustainable packaging option. The additional layer of corrugated cardboard in our double wall cartons provides greater structural integrity, allowing them to support heavier weights and resist external forces like impacts, compression and stacking pressure. Making them great choices for warehouse boxes or moving boxes.

Our double wall cardboard boxes are not only stronger and more durable than ever before but also an eco-friendly choice. We are committed to using recycled and recyclable materials in all our corrugated cardboard products. So, if you’re looking to buy high-quality double wall cardboard boxes, we’ve got you covered.
