How do export boxes compare to other packaging?

Export boxes are specifically designed for international and long-distance shipping. Compared to standard boxes, they offer:

• Higher durability – reinforced materials and extra layers to handle rough handling.
• Moisture resistance – essential for sea freight and variable climates.
• Space efficiency – foldable and stackable formats reduce storage and shipping volume.

Looking for even lighter alternatives? Explore our double wall boxes for domestic shipping or choose postal boxes suited to ecommerce and courier services such as DHL or Evri. For bulkier shipments, our pallet boxes are designed for forklift and container use.

Cardboard vs Plywood Export Boxes

Choosing the right export packaging depends on your product and shipping conditions:

Cardboard Export Boxes

Our cardboard export boxes offer a lightweight yet highly durable packaging solution, combining cost-effectiveness with reliable protection. These boxes are ideal for shipping a wide range of products, including industrial components, retail stock, machinery parts, and other items that require strong but lighter-weight packaging for efficient handling and transport.

Manufactured from high-quality, heavy-duty cardboard; often featuring triple-wall construction - these export boxes provide excellent crush resistance and impact protection during long-distance shipping. They are designed to withstand stacking, vibrations, and rough handling, making them suitable for both domestic and international freight.

Available in a wide variety of sizes, many cardboard export boxes are optimised to fit standard pallet dimensions, facilitating smooth logistics and efficient warehouse storage.

Plywood Export Boxes

RAJA’s plywood export boxes are built to deliver maximum protection for your most valuable or sensitive cargo. These heavy-duty boxes are ideal for shipping large, heavy, or fragile items internationally; whether by sea freight, air freight, or overland transport.

Constructed with strong timber and moisture-resistant materials, they offer excellent durability and low water absorption, helping to keep products safe from humidity or condensation during long transits. This makes them especially well-suited for air-freight shipments or overseas exports where conditions can be harsh and unpredictable.

All our plywood export boxes are designed to meet international shipping standards, making them suitable for export to any destination worldwide. For added efficiency, try our foldable plywood boxes - a compact, space-saving solution that reduces storage volume while delivering unmatched structural integrity. These boxes are trusted across industries for their ability to withstand rough handling, stacking, and extended journeys without compromising the safety of the contents inside.

Protective packaging for international shipping

Enhance your packaging with essential protection to minimise transit damage:

• Bubble wrap – absorbs shocks and vibrations.
• Edge and corner protectors – reinforce box integrity during stacking and strapping.
• Void fill – prevents internal movement of goods.
• Silica gel desiccants – reduce humidity and condensation during ocean freight.
• Pallet stretch wrap – stabilises large loads for safe transportation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is export packaging?

Export packaging is designed to protect goods during international shipping. It includes strong, moisture-resistant materials like triple wall cardboard and plywood, often with added reinforcements to prevent damage in transit.

What is classed as an export box?

Export boxes are high-strength packaging formats - either heavy-duty cardboard or plywood; made for long-distance or overseas shipments. They offer superior stacking strength and resistance to handling stress.

Do export boxes include extra protection features?

Many come with reinforced corners, internal supports, and strapping slots. You can also customise protection with void fill, edge protectors, or silica gel – also stocked by RAJA.

Which is better: plywood or cardboard for export?

Plywood is better for heavy, moisture-sensitive shipments due to its strength and resistance to water damage. Cardboard is lighter and more economical for less demanding exports.

Are these boxes reusable?

Yes. Many RAJA export boxes are reusable and recyclable, making them ideal for sustainable shipping practices. Use corner protectors and stretch film to extend their lifespan.
