Paperboard Materials

Paperboard is one of the most commonly used materials for package boxes. It is lightweight, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. Our Package Box made from paperboard can include coatings for water resistance or glossy finishes to enhance presentation. Paperboard thickness varies according to the weight and fragility of the contents, and our factory ensures consistent quality to maintain the structural integrity of the packaging.

Paperboard options include:

  • Solid bleached sulfate (SBS)
  • Coated unbleached kraft (CUK)
  • Folding boxboard (FBB)



Corrugated Cardboard

Corrugated cardboard is preferred for heavier or bulk shipments. At Wenzhou Rugui Packaging Co., Ltd., our factory produces Package Box products with single-wall, double-wall, and triple-wall corrugated options. These provide excellent protection during transportation, reducing the risk of damage. Rugui ensures that the corrugated layers are consistent, which contributes to strength and durability while maintaining lightweight properties for shipping efficiency.

Advantages of corrugated cardboard include:

  • High strength-to-weight ratio
  • Shock absorption for fragile items
  • Customizable printing surfaces for branding



Plastic Materials

Plastic is a versatile material often used for reusable and waterproof Package Box solutions. Our factory works with various plastic types including polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and PET. Rugui focuses on ensuring that the plastic used is durable, resistant to impact, and safe for food or medical products if required. Our factory can also apply anti-static and UV-resistant coatings depending on the product application.

Plastic Package Box benefits include:

  • Long-lasting durability
  • Water and moisture resistance
  • Reusable for multiple cycles



Metal and Specialty Materials

For high-end packaging, metal and specialty materials provide premium aesthetics and extra protection. Our factory manufactures Package Box products using tinplate, aluminum, and composite materials. Rugui ensures precise fabrication to maintain safety, design integrity, and weight efficiency. Specialty coatings and finishes can also be applied to metal surfaces to prevent corrosion and enhance visual appeal.
