Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm

Our Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm provide a practical packaging solution for products that benefit from a shallow square carton. The 241mm x 241mm base creates balanced internal space, while the 76mm height suits flatter and more compact goods.

The single-wall cardboard construction combines everyday protection with a relatively low packaging weight. Therefore, these cartons suit many commercial, retail, storage and dispatch applications.

Moreover, the plain brown finish creates a familiar kraft appearance. Packers can apply address labels, barcodes, handling instructions or branded tape according to their operational requirements.

The folding flaps allow users to assemble and close each carton with suitable packaging tape. As a result, the cartons can be prepared efficiently at a shop, warehouse or fulfilment station.

Because Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm have a shallow profile, they can help reduce unnecessary vertical space around suitable products. Nevertheless, customers should check the usable internal dimensions before ordering for an item with a critical fit.

Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm Dimensions and Specifications

The nominal carton size is:

• Metric: 241mm x 241mm x 76mm
• Imperial: approximately 9.5 x 9.5 x 3 inches

The main product specifications are:

• Measurement order: width x depth x height
• Product reference: Size 16
• Product type: shallow square cardboard carton
• Construction: single-wall cardboard
• Colour: plain brown
• Finish: natural kraft appearance
• Shape: square and low-profile
• Closure: folding upper and lower flaps
• Suitable applications: packing, posting, storage and dispatch
• Assembly: secure with suitable packaging tape

The stated Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm measurements are nominal. Therefore, small manufacturing tolerances may apply to the completed dimensions.

Furthermore, customers should confirm whether the measurements represent internal or external dimensions when an exact product fit is essential. The usable internal space will normally be slightly smaller because the cardboard has its own thickness.

Understanding Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm Measurements

The measurements follow the order width x depth x height. Therefore, each carton measures approximately 241mm wide x 241mm deep x 76mm high.

In imperial measurements, this equals approximately 9.5 inches wide x 9.5 inches deep x 3 inches high. Consequently, the carton provides a balanced square base with a relatively shallow height.

Before ordering, measure every part of the intended item. For example, include projecting handles, lids, closures, cables and protective wrapping when checking the required space.

Additionally, allow enough room for the selected cushioning material. A product that closely matches the stated dimensions may not fit after allowing for the cardboard and internal protective packaging.

The Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm work particularly well for products that need more surface area than height. However, a deeper carton may suit bulky or irregularly shaped items more effectively.

Choosing Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm

Choose Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm when you need shallow square packaging for appropriately sized products. In particular, consider each item’s complete dimensions, weight, fragility and expected journey.

Single-wall cardboard provides practical protection for many lightweight everyday goods. However, heavy, highly fragile or valuable products may require a stronger carton or more specialised packaging.

The product should fit without forcing the side walls or closing flaps. At the same time, excessive empty space can allow movement and increase the amount of void fill required.

Therefore, select a carton that provides enough room for suitable cushioning without creating unnecessary space. A correctly sized carton can improve product control and produce a neater completed package.

The product’s shape also affects the decision. For example, flat books, textiles and presentation items may use the shallow space more efficiently than tall or rounded products.

How to Assemble Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm

Before assembly, inspect the cardboard for tears, dampness, crushed edges or damaged fold lines. Next, place the carton on a clean, dry and stable packing surface.

To assemble Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm:

1. Open the flat carton into its square shape.
2. Make sure the walls sit straight and the crease lines remain aligned.
3. Fold the smaller bottom flaps inwards.
4. Fold the larger bottom flaps over them.
5. Align the flaps so the base remains level.
6. Seal the central join with suitable packaging tape.
7. Reinforce the outer edges when the application requires it.
8. Add a suitable protective layer to the base.
9. Position the product centrally inside the carton.
10. Add cushioning around the sides and above the item.
11. Fold the smaller upper flaps inwards.
12. Bring the larger upper flaps together without forcing them.
13. Seal the top securely with suitable packaging tape.
14. Apply the required address, barcode or handling labels.
15. Inspect the completed package before dispatch.

An H-pattern tape closure can provide additional security across the base and top. However, the sealing method must remain suitable for the contents and expected handling conditions.

Finally, check that the assembled carton remains square and level. Twisted walls or misaligned flaps can reduce stability and create an uneven stacking surface.

Packing with Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm

The shallow square format helps control appropriately sized products. Therefore, Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm can reduce the need to place flat items inside unnecessarily deep shipping cartons.

First, identify delicate surfaces, sharp edges and projecting parts. Then, apply suitable protection to vulnerable areas before placing the product inside the carton.

Add an even base layer of cushioning where required. Afterwards, position the item centrally and maintain suitable clearance from each wall.

Suitable protective materials may include:

• Corrugated paper
• Kraft paper
• Tissue paper
• Bubble cushioning
• White foam
• Cardboard pads
• Loose-fill packing pieces
• Edge and corner protectors
• Cardboard dividers
• Custom inserts

However, choose the protective material according to the product. Delicate finishes may require a soft, non-abrasive layer, while fragile products may need cushioning on every side.

The broad square base can also hold several small items when suitable dividers separate them. Nevertheless, products should not collide or place damaging pressure on one another.

Do not overfill the carton or force the upper flaps closed. Otherwise, internal pressure may damage the contents, distort the walls or weaken the closure.

After sealing, gently check the package for movement. If the contents shift, reopen the carton and adjust the protective packaging before dispatch.

Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm for Business, Storage and Removals

Our Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm support businesses that regularly package shallow or compact goods. For example, online retailers can use them for customer orders, while manufacturers can use them for samples, components and replacement parts.

The plain brown surface provides space for address labels, barcodes and handling instructions. Consequently, businesses can integrate the cartons into established stock-control and dispatch systems.

Retailers may also use them for click-and-collect orders or protected stock transfers. Meanwhile, offices and warehouses can use the cartons to organise stationery, documents, accessories and supplies.

During removals, the cartons can hold suitable compact household or office items. However, fragile belongings still require appropriate wrapping and internal cushioning.

The 241mm x 241mm square footprint can make packed cartons easier to arrange on suitable shelves or work surfaces. Nevertheless, stacking performance depends on the contents, weight distribution, carton condition and storage environment.

We deliver these cartons to UK mainland addresses. Therefore, customers can include this size in purchasing plans for different offices, shops, warehouses and packing stations.

Storing Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm

Store unused Single Wall Cartons 241x241x76mm indoors in a clean, dry and well-ventilated area. Additionally, keep the cardboard away from floors and walls where it could absorb moisture.

Protect the cartons from:

• Rain and condensation
• Damp floors and walls
• Excessive humidity
• Direct sunlight
• Naked flames and ignition sources
• Hot surfaces
• Oils and solvents
• Aggressive chemicals
• Dust and dirt
• Crushing pressure
• Rodents and other pests

Moisture can soften cardboard and reduce its structural performance. Therefore, never use a damp carton for an application that depends on reliable storage or transit protection.

Store unassembled cartons flat and support them evenly. Otherwise, leaning bundles may bend, crease or develop distorted panels.

Because the cartons have a shallow profile, damaged folds can affect assembly and closure. Consequently, staff should handle unopened stock carefully.

Good stock rotation also helps maintain packaging quality. Use older undamaged stock before opening newer bundles.

Food Safety Information

Use these cartons as secondary packaging only when food is already enclosed within suitable food-contact packaging. Therefore, do not place unpackaged food directly against the cardboard.

Additionally, make sure the carton cannot puncture, contaminate or otherwise compromise the primary food packaging. Containers should remain properly closed and protected against leakage.

Businesses operating in regulated food environments should complete their own hygiene assessment and request the relevant documentation where required.

Furthermore, cardboard can absorb liquids, oils and odours. Replace the carton if contamination, dampness or staining occurs.

PPWR Compliance Information

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2025/40, introduces requirements affecting packaging placed on the EU market.

However, compliance depends on the complete packaging system, supply chain, intended market and applicable implementation dates. Therefore, this description should not be treated as a declaration of PPWR compliance.

Businesses should assess the finished packaging configuration, including the carton, tape, labels, inserts and protective materials. Additionally, they should request current technical evidence before making regulatory or environmental claims.

Where suitable recycling services accept cardboard, remove incompatible components and keep the material clean and dry. Nevertheless, collection requirements can vary between local authorities and commercial waste providers.
