W5c box specs and options

W5c is a weather-resistant military specification box. It uses a lighter-weight coated fiber corrugated board built to 275 PSI bursting strength. That makes it a good fit for interior or domestic military packaging where you need moisture protection but not the heaviest grade.

If your job calls for more protection, V3c is the step up: 350# test corrugated fiberboard conforming to ASTM D4727, meeting WRA and MPA water resistance standards. Tell us your application and we will quote the grade that matches your spec.
