What Are Stock Wax Boxes?

Stock wax boxes are corrugated containers made in standard sizes and shapes for uses that require moisture resistance. These boxes use established specifications to serve many different products and industries. They differ from custom boxes made for the specific needs of one customer. Stock boxes are a direct alternative to custom packaging if an existing size is appropriate for the application.

Wax-treated corrugated boxes are particularly useful where ordinary corrugated packaging may be exposed to:

Water, melting ice or condensation
Refrigeration or high humidity
Wet products or damp processing/storage environments

Stock Wax Box Types

SCHCI’s stock wax packaging is arranged around several core box styles, each appropriate for different products and handling requirements:

Covers: Covers are flat or lidded tops designed to pair with a matching box body and fully enclose the contents. They are commonly employed for produce, seafood, or poultry when secure closure and stacking are required for shipping.
Bodies/Bins: Bodies or bins constitute the main container component of a two-piece box. They are engineered to support the product’s weight and retain their shape when stacked. They are used for produce, seafood, and poultry in sizes ranging from small trays to large combo bins.
Liners: Liners are wax‐treated inserts placed inside another container or box to add extra moisture protection. They are common in seafood and produce applications when an existing container requires additional water resistance.
Ice-Pack & Cascaded Configurations: Ice-Pack & Cascaded Configurations use heavier wax treatments for products packed with ice or subjected to substantial water exposure, such as fresh seafood.
Application-Specific Configurations: Application-Specific Configurations are box shapes created to meet the particular handling requirements of a product, such as bushel boxes for produce or specialty seafood boxes for items like tuna.

Find Wax Boxes by Size

For many buyers, dimensions are the fastest way to identify the appropriate stock wax box. When selecting a size, consider more than the dimensions of the individual product:

Number of products packed per case, product orientation, and required headspace
Liners, dividers, ice or other packing materials, and total packed weight
Ventilation requirements, pallet configuration and stacking requirements

Stock vs. Custom Wax Boxes

The most suitable choice depends on your specific application. You do not have to identify the correct option before you contact SCHCI. If you provide your product and packaging requirements, we can help you determine which solution fits your needs.

Stock may be the right fit when: a standard size fits the product, existing specifications provide adequate strength, the wax treatment suits the environment, and specialized printing isn’t required.
Custom may make more sense when: no stock dimensions fit, a particular board strength or specialized wax treatment is needed, ventilation or leak resistance is necessary, or branding/custom printing is required.

How to Choose the Right Stock Wax Box

Finding a box with approximately the right dimensions is only the first step. Before selecting a stock wax box, consider the complete packaging application:

Product dimensions and packed weight are important.

When calculating the total package weight, include the weight of liners, dividers, ice, and any other components, not only the product weight.

Moisture exposure and storage/transportation conditions matter.

Boxes used with refrigeration and condensation will need different specifications than those packed with ice. Longer distances and multiple warehouses during transportation create additional requirements.

Palletization and special requirements are also factors.

Box dimensions impact how efficiently boxes fit on pallets. Certain products require leak resistance, ventilation, specialized construction, or custom printing.

Common Applications for Stock Wax Boxes

Seafood & Fish

Wax boxes for fish, shellfish and other fresh or frozen seafood help packaging perform through ice, water, condensation, refrigeration and significant product weight. When the application requires additional containment, a leak-proof box may be appropriate.

Agricultural Products & Produce

Wax boxes for fruits, vegetables and other commodities moving through packing houses, cold storage, wholesalers and foodservice operations – the appropriate box depends on the commodity, packed weight, moisture conditions and ventilation requirements.

Meat, Poultry & Food Processing

Wax-coated corrugated packaging for meat, poultry and processed food products stored or transported under refrigerated, damp or otherwise moisture-intensive conditions.

Stock Wax Box FAQs

What sizes of wax boxes are available?

SCHCI offers stock wax boxes in multiple sizes and specifications. Use the catalog above to review current options or contact us with the dimensions you need.

Are all of the boxes in the catalog kept in stock?

We do not keep every box in the catalog in stock at all times. Availability depends on our current inventory and demand. You should contact SCHCI to confirm availability, lead times, and order requirements for a specific box.

How are wax box dimensions measured?

Dimensions are usually listed as length × width × depth or height. When you compare a stock box to an existing package, ensure you are using the same measurement type. You must distinguish between inside and outside measurements to get an accurate comparison.

What if the size I need isn't listed?

If the size you need isn’t listed, SCHCI can develop custom wax boxes to your specifications, considering dimensions, product weight, moisture exposure, and other requirements.

Can I get pricing for several sizes?

Yes. Send SCHCI the stock numbers or dimensions you’re considering along with approximate quantities, and we can help you evaluate available options and provide pricing.

Need Help Finding the Right Wax Box?

You don’t need to know the exact packaging specification before contacting SCHCI. If you tell us what you’re packing, approximate dimensions and packed weight, whether the product is packed with ice, expected moisture or refrigeration conditions, and any special requirements like ventilation or leak resistance, we can help identify an appropriate stock wax box or determine whether a custom solution would better meet your needs.
