Triple-Wall Corrugated Boxes For B2B Shipping
Nelson Container triple-wall corrugated boxes are designed and manufactured for a variety of applications—from containers for shipping heavy engine parts to produce display bins for grocery stores. Our triple-wall corrugated boxes offer the strength of wood crates at significant cost and weight savings. If you’re shipping or storing large, heavy, or delicate products, consider purchasing triple-wall corrugated boxes in bulk.
Custom Triple-Wall Corrugated Boxes
The strength and cushioning properties of a triple-wall corrugated box are determined by the flute profiles (wave-shaped arches in between the linerboards) used. The combination of differently-sized flutes can be customized to maximize the cushioning properties and/or compression strength of a finished box. The edge crush test and Mullen (burst) test are used to rate the strength of boxes. We perform in-house testing on the boxes to ensure your shipments arrive safely. Triple wall boxes offer more protection than standard single-wall and double-wall boxes
Whatever type of fragile or heavy objects you ship, we can design and build a corrugated box with protective foam inserts to ensure safe transit or storage. Oversized items? No problem. Thanks to “The Beast,” our jumbo corrugated folder/gluer machine, we can create custom packaging for almost any jumbo-sized product you need to ship. Nelson Container designs, manufactures, and ships triple-wall corrugated packaging for all of your unique products.

Nelson Container - Your Partner in Packaging
Vendor Managed Inventory Services Keep You Stocked and In Business
There’s an increasing trend toward Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) services, particularly for businesses that need to respond to varying demand. In tandem with our quick response manufacturing capabilities, vendor managed inventory enables you to meet the often unpredictable seasonal demands for your products.
If the products you ship require the same packaging and/or your packaging needs fluctuate on a seasonal basis, you are a good candidate for VMI. As soon as your inventory of boxes reaches a critically low level, a usage report is automatically generated and we send out a new shipment. You’ll never again be caught off-guard with no triple-wall boxes for shipping. You even have the option of getting your boxes pre-assembled, so there’s no time wasted putting them together.
