2. Is corrugated the best material for boxes?
Yes! Corrugated is both lighter and less expensive than alternatives like
plastic, wood, and metal, plus it is 100% recyclable. Unlike other types of
boxes, corrugated boxes fold down flat for storing and shipping, which saves
you money and floor space. Corrugated is strong enough for stacking, resistant to impact and vibration, and it can cushion and protect your products during shipping.

18. What is a BMC?
A BMC is a box manufacture's certificate. You will usually find it on a

manufacturer, the minimum material specification being certified, and the
gross weight and size limits. The carrier may deny damage claim insurance if
these guidelines are not met.
