The best solution often uses both: a rigid primary box inside a corrugated outer shipper for maximum protection.

How much more do rigid boxes cost compared with standard folding cartons?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Industry sources indicate that rigid boxes are significantly more expensive per unit than folding cartons due to thicker materials, more complex manufacturing, and higher shipping weight. However, when you factor in reduced damage, stronger brand perception, and reusability, many brands still see a positive return.
