3 Ply vs 5 Ply vs 7 Ply: Which Box Should You Choose?
Understand board layers, handling loads and how to discuss the right box specification with a manufacturer.
What does ply mean?
Ply refers to the number of paper layers in a corrugated board. Three-ply typically includes two flat liners and one corrugated flute. Five-ply typically uses three liners and two flute layers.
Choosing the right strength
The required construction depends on product weight, packing configuration, stacking conditions, transport and humidity. Ply count alone does not specify strength. Ask for flute profile, GSM, burst strength or edge crush test as relevant.
How to order
Share product weight, inner dimensions, packing method, order quantity and whether printing is required. The Yamuna team can then discuss a suitable construction.
