🔬 Construction and materials – why is your equipment safe?

The outer box is the first line of defense for your equipment. With the FBL17-1 model, there is no room for compromise – this is packaging engineering in its purest form, adapted for heavier 17-inch laptops.

1. Outer Armor – EB-Flute (Double Wall)

The box is made of double wall cardboard (5-ply) with a grammage of 588 gsm. The use of EB-flute is the key to durability:

• Hybrid structure: Combines the advantages of E-flute (dense, aesthetic surface ideal for taping) and B-flute (thick, cushioning inner layer).
• Puncture resistance: Thick walls protect the contents from sharp edges of other packages at the courier sorting hub.
• Rigidity (Stacking strength): The box does not deform under the weight of other packages (high stacking resistance), which is crucial for protecting large laptop screens.

2. Intelligent Interior – Accessory Separation

The box design includes a specially engineered divider. Thanks to this, the heavy power supply and plugs are physically separated from the delicate space containing the laptop (inside the insert). This eliminates the risk of scratches to the chassis caused by loose items.

🌐 Application in modern business

• 🛒 E-commerce: professional shipping of electronics and gaming laptops (requires purchasing the insert).
• 🛠️ Computer services: safe return of equipment to the client after repair.
• 🏢 Corporate logistics: exchange of workstations between the office and remote employees.
• ♻️ Refurbished: increasing the perceived value of post-lease equipment thanks to new, clean packaging.

⚙️ How to prepare the box for shipping?

1. Fold the FBL17-1 box along the crease lines and secure the bottom with strong packing tape.
2. Place the laptop in the dedicated insert (sold separately or in a set).
3. Slide the insert with the laptop into the larger compartment of the box – it fits perfectly snug.
4. Place the charger and cabling in the side compartment of the box.
5. Close the flaps and tape the top of the box. Your shipment is armored!
