Waterproof Corrugated Boxes

A Water-Resistant Alternative to Wax Boxes

Haiwang waterproof corrugated boxes replace wax boxes for produce, seafood and cold-chain goods. Our water-resistant board reaches Cobb < 30 g/m², so the boxes hold up to ice, condensation and humid sea routes. Every box is made to your size and print, in A, B, C or E flute, and shipped flat from our factory near Qingdao Port.

Cobb < 30 g/m²

The board absorbs less than 30 grams of water per square metre, for wet, iced and humid conditions.

Strong When Wet

Water-resistant board holds its stacking strength better than untreated board in cold rooms and humid containers.

No Wax Coating

Replace wax boxes with corrugated boxes that need no wax coating and go into the paper recycling stream.

Printed to Your Brand

Water-based flexo printing in up to 4 colours, or digital printing with no plates and no minimum run.

Why Replace Wax Boxes?

Waxed cardboard works in the cold room, but the wax coating makes it hard to recycle. Many recycling centres reject it, so used wax boxes often end up in landfill.

Our waterproof corrugated boxes reach Cobb < 30 g/m² without a wax coating, print cleanly and are made from FSC-certified board. For buyers with recycling targets, they are a simpler box to source. Shipping heavy loads as well? See our heavy-duty shipping boxes.
