Single-Wall Corrugated Boxesfor B2B Shipping
Nelson Container can design custom, single-wall corrugated boxes for virtually anything you need to ship. With our CAD software and state-of-the-industry production capabilities, we have designed and produced shipping boxes for thousands of high-value products for customers throughout the US.
Custom Single-Wall Corrugated Packaging
As part of our commitment to providing the best bulk corrugated boxes for any shipping need, Nelson Container can build single-wall corrugated boxes with whatever flute profile you want. Flutes are the wave-shaped arches sandwiched between the two linerboards, and the size of these flutes affects the cushioning properties and compression strength of the finished box. Combining differently shaped flutes allows us to dial in the exact combination of cushioning and strength you require.
At Nelson Container, we also design custom internal packaging to keep your products secure and organized. Every box is designed for your unique products inside and out.

Vendor Managed Inventory Eliminates Overstock and Understock
Nelson Container offers VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) services so you’ll never run out of boxes when you need them most. When you set up VMI with us, your box supply becomes one less thing to hassle with. We’ll know when you’re running low and a new shipment will be automatically sent your way. You even have the option of having your packaging pre-assembled, so your employees don’t have to spend time putting boxes together.
If your business is seasonal and/or if your packaging needs are consistent, VMI services are an easy way to ensure you’re never out of boxes when the busy season hits. Contact us to learn more about setting up Vendor Managed Inventory services with us.
