What kind of impact does your packaging make?
Symbols found on corrugated
packaging that you will regularly
see:
Box Makers Certificate – This emblem is found on the bottom of standard cartons to indicate the manufacturer, location, and properties of materials the box was made from. Box strength will be indicated in either Mullen (based on bursting strength) or ECT (edge crush strength). 12x12x 10 BOX ID – These 3 dimensions indicate the length, width and depth of the inside of the box.
Corrugated Recycles – This Stamp is a reminder that this carton can be recycled or reused. When recycled, the pulp can be turned back into roll stock paper, and used to produce corrugated sheets.
Found on the bottom of a box, it ensures buyers that the fiber in this product comes a company certified to the SFI Fiber Sourcing Standard, from recycled content, or from a certified forest.

Please refer to the visual example of pallet efficiency between the smaller B flute, and larger C flute. There is 1/3 reduction in total height when using B flute, yet both pallets show 300 pieces. The B flute would allow for double stacking, which effectively doubles the amount that can be transported in a standard 53 ft trailer.
Small changes in materials can have a huge impact in your supply chain. BDC leverages our experience to bring these insights to our customers. Warehouse rack efficiency. transportation fuel costs, and overall ROI are reviewed and consulted throughout the design and quoting process.”

The 7 recycling symbols found on packaging-
and what they mean
On the bottom of most plastic containers, you’ll find a number within a recycling symbol. This number indicates the type of plastic it’s made from, and helps recyclers determine how to dispose of each item.
PETE
Polyethylene
Terephthalate
PETE makes up a group of the most commonly used and recycled household items. Found in items like plastic water bottles, soda bottles, and medicine containers, you can dispose of these items in any curbside recycling bin.
HDPE
High Density
Polyethylene
These opaque plastic containers are most often found being used for items such as shampoo/ conditioner bottles, milk jugs, and laundry detergents. You can also recycle any HDPE product in a curbside bin.
PVC
Polyvinyl
Chloride
PVC is used in products such as piping, shower curtains, and vinyl. Since it’s resistant to oils, it’s often used in meat packaging, and medical wrap. Not all cities accept #3, so check with your local recycling firm before disposal.
LDPE
Low Density
Polyethylene
LDPE is typically found in shrink wraps, sandwich bags, and plastic grocery bags. Most cities accept #4 recyclables curbside, except for grocery bags which can be returned to stores for recycling.
PP
Polypropylene
Used in food containers, #5 can easily be recycled through curbside pickup. However, make sure that any food residue is thouroughly cleaned before removal, and loose caps are thrown into the trash.
PS
Polystyrene
Often times, #6 is attached to styrofoam materials like packing peanuts, but can also be found on disposable cups, cutlery, or plates. Due to the likelihood of contamination from food particles, items with a PS symbol are not accepted through curbside recycling pick-up.
OTHER
Combination
“Other”
These are the items made from a combination of #1-6. Due to its variants of materials, not all curbside programs accept these types of recyclables, so check with your city’s regulations before tossing it into a bin for pickup.
