Should we use single or double wall boxes for shipping canned drinks to e-commerce customers?

Double wall boxes are the clear recommendation from members shipping cans direct to consumers. Single wall boxes risk damage during transit—cans need packaging that can survive being dropped and thrown around by couriers.

**Recommended approach:** - **Double wall boxes** — strongly preferred over single wall; members report still experiencing some damage even with double wall, so single is not adequate - **Dividers for smaller orders** — use cardboard dividers to prevent cans moving around within the box - **Packing material for larger orders** — use cardboard or straw to fill empty space in boxes with room to move, reducing impact damage - **Secondary boxing** — some members use single wall boxes repacked into a secondary outer box, though they note this may not be the most efficient approach

**Key caveat:** Even double wall boxes result in some customer damage claims, so the packaging system needs to be as robust as possible given courier handling realities.
