If your packing and shipping operation does a lot of work with weighty items it is very important to make sure you do not exceed the burst or crush rating of the box. Otherwise, you risk not being compensated by a carrier who receives damaged goods on the other end of the shipment. The strength ratings for shipping boxes may found on the bottom flaps of shipping boxes. Be sure to know and heed the weight guidelines to minimize your liability.
