Common Wall Mistakes
- Wrong wall for weight — Single wall for a 30 kg product = box crushes
- Over-specifying — Triple wall for light products = wasted money
- No sample approval — Wall strength doesn’t match product
- Ignoring stacking — Single wall on a high pallet = bottom boxes crush
- Wrong flute grade — Light flute for heavy load = weak box
