Why Choose Long Narrow Boxes?
Standard square or rectangular boxes aren't efficient for long, narrow items. They waste space, require excessive void fill, and increase shipping costs. Long boxes solve these problems by matching the shape of your product.
Common Uses for Long Boxes
- Sports Equipment: Golf clubs, hockey sticks, baseball bats, fishing rods
- Home Improvement: Curtain rods, closet rods, blinds, dowels, trim
- Arts & Graphics: Poster tubes, architectural prints, blueprints, canvas rolls
- Retail Products: Umbrellas, gift wrap rolls, long-handled tools
- Industrial: Tubing, pipes, rods, long hardware
Construction Specifications
Our long boxes are manufactured from 200#/ECT-32 kraft corrugated, a standard strength grade that provides excellent protection for most shipping applications. ECT-32 (Edge Crush Test) means the corrugated board can withstand 32 pounds per lineal inch of load, making it suitable for stacking and freight handling.
How to Choose the Right Size
Measure your product at its longest point, then add 1-2 inches for cushioning. Consider the width and depth needed—the box should hold your item snugly without excessive movement. If you're shipping multiple items together, account for bundling space.
Packing Tips for Long Boxes
- Use bubble wrap or foam sleeves on ends to prevent punctures
- Fill voids with crumpled paper or air pillows to prevent shifting
- Seal all openings with strong packing tape (2-inch minimum width)
- Mark "FRAGILE" or "LONG PACKAGE" if needed for carrier handling
