The outer layer — corrugated cardboard sheets and boxes for despatch, and HDPE tarpaulin for covering stock, trucks and site material. Supplied in bulk.
Protective packaging goes around the product; industrial packaging is what contains or covers it. Two products, two very different jobs — a corrugated box carries a load and has to survive stacking, while a tarpaulin has to survive sun and rain for months. Both are bought by specification numbers rather than by name: ply and bursting strength for cardboard, GSM for tarpaulin.
Corrugated boxes, sheets, partitions and custom sizes. Bought by ply count and bursting strength — the numbers that decide whether a stack survives the warehouse.
HDPE woven laminated and LDPE tarpaulin for godowns, trucks, construction material and outdoor stock. Bought by GSM and whether it is UV treated.
Specify By Number, Not By Name
Product
The Number That Matters
Why
Cardboard box
Ply count (3, 5, 7) and bursting strength
Decides stacking strength and whether the box arrives intact
Cardboard box size
Internal dimensions, not external
Your product has to fit inside; external size is the box maker's figure
Tarpaulin
GSM (grams per square metre)
The single best indicator of durability and life outdoors
Tarpaulin treatment
UV stabilised or not
An untreated tarpaulin goes brittle in Indian sun within a season or two
"Send me a strong box" and "a good quality tarpaulin" are not orders anyone can quote comparably. Ply and bursting strength for cardboard, GSM and UV treatment for tarpaulin — give those and every quote you receive becomes like-for-like. Without them, the cheapest quote is usually the thinnest material.

Industrial Packaging Size GuideBox ply options and bursting strengths, standard and custom box sizes, tarpaulin GSM range, standard sizes and UV-treated grades.
Quoted at current rates, since both products track raw material costs — paper for cardboard, polymer for tarpaulin:
Cardboard: ply and bursting strength — the biggest factor, and the one cheap quotes cut
Cardboard: size and custom dimensions — standard sizes are cheapest; custom sizes carry a minimum order and lead time
Cardboard: printing — branded cartons add cost and a minimum quantity
Tarpaulin: GSM — you are buying material weight, so this dominates
Tarpaulin: UV treatment and size — treated grades cost more and last far longer outdoors; standard sizes cost less than made-to-size
Quantity — the main lever on both, with repeat supply rates below one-off pricing
Paper and polymer input costs — both move through the year, which is why rates are quoted current
Supply Across Delhi NCR
We supply industrial packaging from Noida (U.P.) and Faridabad (Haryana), covering Noida, Greater Noida, Faridabad, Delhi, Gurgaon and Ghaziabad, with scheduled repeat delivery for regular consumers. Custom box sizes and made-to-size tarpaulin carry a lead time, so order ahead of a despatch peak rather than into it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between protective and industrial packaging?
Protective packaging goes around the product - foam, bubble and shrink film, which prevent scratching, impact and movement. Industrial packaging contains or covers it - the corrugated box that carries the load and survives stacking, and the tarpaulin that keeps weather off stored material. Most despatches need both: protective material inside, industrial material outside.
How do I specify a cardboard box correctly?
Give internal dimensions rather than external, since your product has to fit inside and external size is the box maker's figure. Then specify ply count - 3, 5 or 7 - and bursting strength, which together decide stacking strength and whether the carton arrives intact. Asking for "a strong box" cannot be quoted comparably, and the cheapest quote against a vague brief is always the thinnest board.
What GSM tarpaulin do I need?
GSM - grams per square metre - is the best single indicator of durability and outdoor life, so it is the number to specify. Light GSM suits short-term and indoor covering; heavier GSM is needed for trucks, construction sites and anything left outdoors for months. Equally important is whether the tarpaulin is UV stabilised, because an untreated one goes brittle in Indian sun within a season or two regardless of GSM.
Can you supply custom box sizes and printed cartons?
Yes - boxes made to your internal dimensions and ply specification, and cartons printed with your branding. Both carry a minimum order quantity set by the converter and a lead time, so they suit regular repeat requirements rather than one-off small orders. For a single small consignment, a standard box size with void fill is almost always cheaper and available immediately.
Do you supply in bulk with repeat delivery?
Yes, and that is how most regular consumers buy, since rates fall significantly with quantity on both products and scheduled supply removes the risk of running out mid-despatch. Custom box sizes and made-to-size tarpaulin carry a lead time, so plan orders ahead of a despatch peak rather than into it. GST invoice provided; PO-based ordering can be arranged.
How do you quote these materials?
At current rates rather than a fixed list, because cardboard tracks paper costs and tarpaulin tracks polymer costs, and both move through the year. The drivers are ply and bursting strength or GSM, size and whether it is custom, printing, UV treatment, and quantity. Send your specification numbers and monthly consumption for a comparable quote.
Do you deliver across Noida, Faridabad, Gurgaon and Delhi?
Yes, across Noida, Greater Noida, Faridabad, Delhi, Gurgaon and Ghaziabad from our Noida and Faridabad locations, with scheduled repeat delivery available. Flat-packed cartons and folded tarpaulin are bulky, so confirm vehicle access, unloading and storage space when ordering, particularly for a large carton order.
Need Boxes or Covers in Bulk?
Send box internal dimensions and ply, or tarpaulin size and GSM, plus your monthly quantity. We'll quote current rates and set up scheduled supply.
Specifications described here are general guidance for products commonly available in the Indian market, not a stock list or quotation. Cardboard and tarpaulin prices track paper and polymer input costs respectively and move through the year, so current rates are quoted on enquiry. UV performance depends on the specific treated grade supplied.
