Custom Shape & Size
Whether it’s food or industrial lighting fixtures, when deciding what corrugated cardboard box you will go with for your business, it’s worth considering its shape and size. Most box manufacturing companies in the Vancouver Area will only offer a standard set of shapes and sizes; however, Racer Boxes is a local Vancouver box manufacturing company that will cater to your individual business needs by offering custom box shapes, sizes, designs, and other custom services.

Re-using Cardboard Boxes
Corrugated cardboard boxes (or stock cartons) are great for packing and storing goods. Most of the time though, they are only used once! With still ample life in your cardboard boxes before they head to the recycling bin, consider these 10 things you can do with your cardboard boxes:
10 Ways to Make Use of Old Cardboard Boxes
- A small cutout of cardboard can act as a sturdy writing surface or makeshift clipboard. Its surface is also easy to write on as a substitute for paper
- You can also use cardboard to protect from the sun, or alternatively use it to increase your sun exposure by making a tin foil wrapped sun tanning shield
- Particularly corrugated cardboard boxes can be extra handy shelter, and used as a temporary umbrella for rain

Pros & Cons Of Corrugated Cardboard Boxes for Packing & Moving
Corrugated cardboard boxes have become the popular choice when it comes to packing and storing goods. There are many benefits of using corrugated cardboard boxes; below is a comprehensive list of why choosing a corrugated cardboard box over another style of box is the best choice for moving or shipping.
Benefits Of Corrugated Cardboard Boxes
- Light: Cardboard corrugated boxes are light weight, therefore more convenient for handling
- Affordable: They are also relatively inexpensive compared to other box alternatives due to the raw materials used to make the product
- Box Printing: For companies looking to increase their marketing, they are great for the ease of printing directly onto the box during production.
- Labeling: Cardboard corrugated boxes are also easy to write on after production
- Customizable: Cardboard corrugated boxes are available in custom shapes, sizes, designs and can even be dyed to colour, meeting the demands of the particular need
- When done, cardboard corrugated boxes can be recycled completely making them an eco-friendly product choice
Of course, there are a few drawbacks to consider, as well.
Drawbacks Of Corrugated Cardboard Boxes
- They are not as durable as boxes made from materials such as plastic or wood. Especially for heavy items or for use under extreme pressure, cardboard corrugated boxes may not be the ideal choice to withstand the pressure
- They are generally used for shorter-term purpose, as such they are not ideally a long-term investment that can be used over and over again

Save Storage Space: Boxes Delivered Weekly
Some food distributors and manufacturers can save valuable warehouse space and reduce fixed overhead expenses by converting from buying boxes in bulk to weekly box deliveries, as our recent case study demonstrates.
Buying Bulk vs Prearranged Weekly Deliveries
This study comes from the help of one of Racer Boxes customers who recently switched to using our weekly box delivery service in order to cut costs and save on space.
The findings show that while buying boxes in bulk provides a bulk discount to the initial price, the increased cost of storing bulk orders of boxes can in some cases outweigh the savings. In this case study, the manufacturer’s dedicated inventory space for boxes added up to a monthly loss of $1,120 so at the end of the month he was coming out at a loss.
Weekly deliveries of his boxes were effectively a bigger discount than buying bulk box orders.

See if receiving weekly deliveries works for you, contact Racer Boxes – a Vancouver Boxes and Packaging Manufacturer at (604) 270 – 8205. Through a reduction in box inventory, you may even be able to convert your inventory square footage into revenue generating space.
Saving on Wholesale Boxes: China vs Vancouver Canada
We recently wrote a case study featuring Munching and Crunching, a seafood distributor in Vancouver Canada. In this case, their seafood products were packed and shipped in corrugated cardboard boxes made by a local box manufacturer. In an effort to lower the cost of their wholesale box orders, they decided to try out a chinese box manufacturer. But did they end up saving money and was there a better option?
Importing Boxes: Risk vs Benefits
In this case, the Chinese box manufacturer required 30% in advance before they would build their boxes and then full payment before shipment of the completed boxes. After shipping, the total savings worked out to a little under 2% on their seafood packing boxes expenses.
Expensive Lesson
The trouble for Munching and Crunching turned out two fold: (1) the logo was incorrectly printed: it read “Punching and Crunching.” And (2), the quality of the boxes was inferior: as soon as their stackable boxes were stacked 4 high, the bottom boxes would crumple and become unusable.
Better Way to Save on Vancouver Wholesale Boxes
In the end, Munching and Crunching discovered Racer Boxes — a local Vancouver Boxes and Packaging Manufacturer — and successfully reduced their costs without skimping on the box manufacturing and printing standards. Racer Boxes even created a print plate that can be repeatedly used on their future box orders.

Humanitarian Aid with Corrugated Boxes?
Earlier this month, we published an article on how our corrugated boxes were made in Vancouver, B.C. (see: “Corrugated Boxes: Local, Sustainable Vancouver Box Manufacturer”). Corrugated cardboard is the most common type of cardboard and it is known for its light-weight but extreme durability in stiffness and in strength. It is made up from three layers, including a wavy middle layer created during the manufacturing process. As such, corrugated cardboard is a material not only excellent for packing boxes or stacking boxes, but it is also ideal for insulation and even shelter.
Cardboard Insulation & Shelter
Japanese architect Shigeru Ban is known for literally thinking outside the box. He is most famous for his innovative work with paper to quickly and efficiently house disaster victims. His favourite material is in fact the recycled corrugated box, which he has used to build houses and churches, among various other projects around the world.
Shigeru Ban’s modern design as applied to humanitarian projects has inspired many to think about cardboard boxes in more than just one way. They have certainly provided as shelter for individuals in one way or another. In other instances, other creative individuals have repurposed the incredible material for ecological projects, like building a cardboard bicycle. The possibilities are endless; what else can you think about doing with a cardboard box?

How to Organize with Corrugated Cardboard
It’s easy to accumulate stuff. What’s worse is that when you actually need that stuff, it’s nowhere to be found. It’s time to get organized.
Tones of home renovation shows and do-it-yourself blogs will teach you how to be creative. They will also teach you how to spend lots of money on what’s essentially more stuff. Although massive home renovation and DIY projects can offer more options to show off your inner designer, sometimes less is more. Not to mention, we all tend to get sidetracked if it’ll take more than a few hours. When it comes to saving money and time, all you really need for simple organization of your space is a couple dozen cardboard boxes.
Standard Folding Boxes
Our standard folding boxes are great for storing out-of-season clothing to hide away in the cross-space. They are also great for keeping winter blankets and Christmas decorations out of sight in the summer. Our cardboard boxes are also great for day-to-day storage: Keep sports equipment or your party hosting extras out of the way.
Cardboard Boxes Made-in-Vancouver
When all is said and done, your now organized stuff in boxes is ready to go, anywhere! Our made-in-Vancouver cardboard boxes are all built durable to last as a reliable packing box for any move. Should you one-day need to pick up and move in a hurry, consider yourself already packed.
Of course you can recycle any old box, but Racer Boxes, a Vancouver Box Manufacturer offers undamaged and uniformed brown boxes to go with your new tidy theme.
