Carton Box vs Cardboard Box: What Is the Difference?

Most people tend to refer to carton boxes and cardboard boxes as being the same. The two packaging types are almost similar but there are slight differences.

A cardboard box refers to any box that has been made out of paper-based board. Carton box refers to a packaging box which can either be made out of cardboard or corrugated board. Carton boxes with several layers of the board make them very strong and are usually used in packaging, storing, transporting, and shipping of goods.

Your needs for packaging will determine what type of box you will use. Cardboard boxes are used where lightweight packing is needed. For more protective packaging, then you will use the corrugated carton boxes. Corrugated carton boxes include 3-ply and 5-ply boxes.
