FAQs about Correx® boxes
Can I use Correx® as an alternative to cardboard?
Correx® is frequently underestimated as a packaging material, yet it stands as a superb substitute for corrugated cardboard. Renowned for its durability, longevity, and ability to accommodate printing, Correx® proves itself indispensable not only in returnable packaging scenarios but also in DIY markets, delivery box applications, and enhancing the appeal of consumer packs.
Can I choose a colour for my Correx® packaging?
Correx® is available in a variety of standard colours: white, black, yellow, green, red, and blue. While custom hues are an option, they typically require much higher minimum order quantities (MOQs).
What is returnable packaging?
Returnable transit packaging, commonly abbreviated as RTP, encompasses plastic containers designed for repeated use over hundreds of trips. In contrast, it differs from “single trip” or expendable packaging, like corrugated boxes, which are discarded or recycled after a single use.
Can Correx® be recycled?
Yes, Correx® can typically be recycled. Correx® is commonly made from polypropylene, a type of recyclable plastic. However, the ability to recycle Correx® can depend on local recycling facilities and their capabilities. It’s essential to check with local recycling guidelines and facilities to determine the specific recycling options available for Correx® in your area.
