Single Wall Cartons 287x175x145mm

Our Single Wall Cartons 287x175x145mm offer a compact rectangular format for everyday packing. They provide an alternative to cube-shaped cartons when your wrapped goods need more width than height.

A box that closely matches your protected contents can help avoid unnecessary empty space. Consequently, you may need less void fill than you would with a much larger carton.

The cardboard outer package forms one part of the complete packing system. Wrapping, cushioning, separation and secure closure also contribute to protecting your goods.

For repeat orders, establish a packing method using your actual products. This helps your team assess the fit and prepare consistent packages.

We can discuss carton sizes and complementary materials with you. However, always test the finished pack against the handling conditions it will face.

Single Wall Cartons 287x175x145mm Dimensions and Specifications

• Product type: Corrugated cardboard carton.
• Construction: Single wall.
• Metric dimensions: 287mm x 175mm x 145mm.
• Approximate imperial dimensions: 11.30 x 6.89 x 5.71 inches.
• Dimension order: Width x depth x height.
• Applications: Packing, dispatch and indoor storage of suitable goods.

The imperial measurements are approximate conversions of the supplied metric dimensions. Therefore, use the metric size when comparing this carton with your product measurements.

Allow for cushioning beneath, above and around the contents. In addition, account for dividers or retail packaging that will remain inside the box.

For a close-fitting product, check the usable internal dimensions with us before ordering. The nominal carton size should not replace a practical fit test.

Avoid selecting a carton solely by its dimensions. Its suitability also depends on the contents, total packed weight and intended handling.

Understanding Single Wall Cartons 287x175x145mm Measurements

Measure your product after adding the protection you intend to use. This gives you a more reliable starting point than measuring the bare item alone.

First, check the widest and deepest points of the wrapped goods. Then measure the full height, including any cushioning beneath or above them.

Protruding parts need particular attention. For example, handles, corners and outer retail sleeves can increase the space a product requires.

If you plan to pack several items together, arrange them as they will sit inside the carton. Likewise, include the separators needed to keep them apart.

The lid or top closure should close naturally without pressure from the contents. At the same time, avoid leaving large gaps that allow unwanted movement.

A trial pack helps you assess both fit and access. You should be able to place the goods inside and remove them without forcing or damaging the packaging.

Choosing Single Wall Cartons 287x175x145mm

Single Wall Cartons 287x175x145mm may suit products that fit comfortably within their rectangular format. Start by checking the protected dimensions, rather than relying on the product’s appearance.

Consider the weight and fragility of the goods alongside their size. In addition, think about the journey the finished package will make.

Soft accessories may need simple containment and separation. Delicate ornaments, by contrast, can require cushioning around every side.

Dense components may place concentrated pressure on the base. Similarly, sharp edges need suitable protection to prevent damage to the carton or neighbouring items.

For more demanding applications, discuss alternative constructions or sizes with us. A different carton may provide a better match for your packing needs.

Before using a box for regular dispatch, test a representative pack. This lets you assess the complete combination of carton, contents, protection and closure.

How to Assemble Single Wall Cartons 287x175x145mm

Prepare a clean, dry packing surface and gather the materials you need. Keep suitable tape, cushioning and labels within easy reach.

Follow the carton’s folds and creases to form its intended shape. Next, secure the base using a closure method appropriate to the carton design and contents.

Check that the assembled carton sits squarely. Its base should remain secure when you add the intended packing materials and products.

If you use adhesive tape, apply it to clean, dry cardboard and press it down firmly. In addition, check that it bridges the relevant seams securely.

Place any base cushioning inside before loading the goods. Then add the remaining protection without pushing the sides out of shape.

Close the carton only when the contents fit comfortably. Finally, inspect the base, top and closure areas before moving the finished package.

Packing with Single Wall Cartons 287x175x145mm

A suitable packing method helps keep products stable within their outer carton. Therefore, choose protection according to the contents rather than using one approach for every order.

Wrap delicate surfaces individually where necessary. In addition, separate items that could scratch, knock or press against one another.

Use suitable void fill to occupy unwanted gaps. However, avoid forcing excessive material into the carton, as this can distort the panels or prevent proper closure.

Pay attention to exposed corners and protruding edges. These areas may need extra cushioning even when the main body of the product appears well protected.

Check for unwanted movement using a method appropriate to the goods. Do not shake fragile contents aggressively to test the pack.

Once you are satisfied with the arrangement, seal the carton securely. Apply a clear delivery label where the carrier and recipient can read it easily.

Keep essential address information away from opening seams where possible. This helps preserve the label when the recipient opens the package.

Single Wall Cartons 287x175x145mm for Business, Storage and Removals

Single Wall Cartons 287x175x145mm can help organise smaller products within a business packing routine. For example, a suitable standard carton may serve several items with similar protected dimensions.

Keep the packing method specific to each product. Two items can fit the same box while needing different levels of cushioning.

For stock storage, label cartons with a clear description or reference. As a result, your team can identify goods without opening every package.

These boxes may also help organise smaller household belongings during a move. Nevertheless, assess the weight carefully and use suitable larger or stronger packaging for demanding removal tasks.

Avoid packing unrelated heavy and fragile items together. Separate cartons can make handling and identification more straightforward.

Storing Single Wall Cartons 287x175x145mm

Keep unused cartons in a clean, dry indoor area. Protect them from leaks, damp floors and locations where condensation may develop.

Avoid unnecessary crushing before use. In addition, keep heavy objects away from stored cartons if they could damage the panels or creases.

For packed storage, choose a stable surface and position labels where you can see them. Place heavier packages below lighter ones where appropriate.

Do not assume every packed carton can support the same stacking arrangement. Instead, assess the contents, box condition and pressure from cartons above it.

Inspect stored packages periodically for damage or moisture. If a carton becomes weakened or distorted, move the contents into suitable replacement packaging.

Before reusing a box, check its base, sides and closure areas. Reuse it only when its condition suits the next application.

Food Safety Information

Use these cartons as secondary packaging when food already has suitable food-contact packaging around it. Do not place unpackaged food directly against the cardboard.

Keep the inner food packaging securely closed before packing. In addition, separate packs where contact could damage their seals or surfaces.

Store cartons away from chemicals and other potential contaminants. If the contents could leak, use suitable sealed inner packaging.

These cartons do not provide temperature control. Therefore, chilled or frozen products need a complete packaging and delivery system suited to their temperature requirements.

For specialist food-packing applications, discuss your requirements with us before ordering.

PPWR Compliance Information

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2025/40, concerns packaging placed on the EU market. Its requirements apply on a phased basis, so businesses should check the provisions and dates relevant to their activities. Further information appears in the European Commission’s packaging guidance.

Choosing an appropriately sized carton can help avoid unnecessary empty space. However, carton selection alone does not establish compliance.

Assess the complete package, including fillers, tape, labels and inner packaging. Your supply-chain role and destination market also affect the requirements you need to consider.

This description is not a declaration of PPWR compliance. Contact us for available product information and obtain appropriate advice for your specific obligations.

Sample Requests

A trial pack can help you assess suitability before placing a larger order. In particular, use your actual products, wrapping and closure method when checking the carton.

Samples may be available. Please contact us to discuss your requirements:
