Packaging guides & corrugated resources
Clear, practical guides for merchandisers and packaging buyers — written by a corrugated box and garments-accessories maker inside Chittagong EPZ. Understand board grades, flutes, box strength and carton selection before you finalise a spec or ask for a quote.
The corrugated packaging knowledge base
Four short guides that cover the questions buyers ask most when specifying export packaging. Read in any order, then size your carton with our free tools.
Board grades & GSM explained
What GSM and board grades mean, how liner and medium weights combine, and how to read a board-grade callout.
Flute types A, B, E & AB
How flute profiles change thickness, cushioning, printability and stacking — and which one fits your product.
Bursting strength vs ECT
The two ways box strength is specified, when each matters, and how to pick the right test for your shipment.
Choosing the right export carton
A step-by-step method to spec a master carton: construction, board, size, print and pallet fit.
Spec it right, ship it safely
A carton that is over-engineered wastes board, weight and money on every shipment. One that is under-specified fails drop tests, crushes in the stack or gets rejected at the buyer's DC. These guides help you find the balance — matching board grade, flute and strength to your product weight, stack height and transit mode.
- Cut cost — avoid paying for board you do not need.
- Pass tests — meet buyer compression and drop requirements.
- Protect goods — the right cushioning for sea, air and road freight.
