Custom Double Glue Side Wall
Most trays rely on a single glue point at each corner, and for light product that holds fine. Load the same tray with jars or cans and those single points become the failure. Doubling the glued wall spreads that load across a far larger bonded area. We produce a lot of double glue side wall work at ZEE Packaging and heavy displays are where it belongs.
Two Bonded Layers
A double glue side wall folds and bonds the board twice.
- Each wall is two layers glued together rather than one
- The bonded area is considerably larger than a corner point
- Walls stay vertical instead of bowing outward
- Rims hold their shape through repeated handling
- The structure survives a full campaign on display
- Corners resist crushing during transit and stacking
Most operators choosing a double glue side wall have watched a single glued tray fail under a full load.
There is a clear threshold for this construction.
- Glass jars and bottles, which concentrate weight
- Canned and tinned product ranges
- Trays stacked two or three high on a shelf
- Long campaigns where a unit stays out for weeks
- Anything handled repeatedly by store staff
- Unnecessary for sachets, cards and light goods
- Open tray the standard double glue side wall build
- With a removable lid shipping sealed then opening
- Front cut down version product visible from the front
- Tiered stepped format rows visible behind the front
- Divided tray compartments for several SKUs
- With a header card branding above the unit
Sizes We Print Regular
Every double glue side wall tray is built to your product, though these run often:
- 10" x 8" x 4" for a standard counter unit
- 12" x 9" x 5" for a larger display
- 14" x 10" x 5" for a heavier range
- 8" x 6" x 3" for a compact tray
- 16" x 12" x 6" for a bulk display
- 18" x 12" x 6" for a floor level format
Send us the loaded weight, since the whole reason for this build is the load it has to carry.
Board And Print
- B flute corrugated as the baseline for the bonded walls
- C flute where more cushioning is needed
- Litho laminated corrugated for full color retail print
- Kraft corrugated for a plain economical build
- Reinforced front lip on any cut down format
- Water based adhesive on every glued seam
The bond quality matters more than the board grade here. We sample with your actual product weight rather than trusting a specification on paper.
Materials Worth Choosing
- Recycled corrugated, standard across these grades
- FSC certified board, certificate available on request
- Soy based ink through the whole run
- Water based adhesive rather than solvent
- More board used, though the unit lasts far longer
- Right sizing so you ship product rather than air

Frequently Asked Questions
How much stronger is it?
Noticeably on wall rigidity. A single glued corner gives way under weight, whereas a bonded double wall holds square.
Does it use more board?
Yes, since each wall is two layers. That is the trade off against a tray that survives a whole campaign.
Does it arrive assembled?
Glued flat, so it opens into shape. There is no folding sequence for staff to learn.
When is it overkill?
For light product like sachets or cards. A single glued tray handles those perfectly well at lower cost.
Will the glue fail in humidity?
Not with the right adhesive. Tell us your storage conditions and we specify accordingly.
Can it ship pre filled?
Yes, with a lid over the top. That protects product in transit and saves store labor.
How much is a document folder?
Rough estimate is $0.85 to $2.10 per unit in plain corrugated, $1.40 to $3.20 with print and $2.20 to $4.80 for litho laminated at moderate quantity. Size moves it. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
