In today’s fast-paced logistics and packaging industry, ensuring that your products arrive in pristine condition is more important than ever. Whether you're in food production, pharmaceuticals, or e-commerce, protecting goods from contamination, moisture, and damage is crucial. That’s where carton liners come in.
At Large Box, we specialise in high-quality packaging solutions that meet the evolving needs of Australian businesses. One of the most versatile and effective tools we offer are carton liners a simple yet powerful way to protect your products and improve the efficiency of your packaging process.
What Are Carton Liners?
Carton liners are plastic bags or films that line the inside of a cardboard box or carton. They serve as a barrier between the product and the carton, helping to prevent contamination, leakage, and damage during storage or transport. Available in a variety of materials, sizes, and thicknesses, carton liners can be tailored to suit the specific requirements of your industry.
Whether you’re shipping bulk powders, frozen foods, or sensitive electronics, carton liners provide an extra layer of protection that can make a big difference.
Benefits of Using Carton Liners
1. Protection Against Contamination
One of the primary reasons businesses use carton liners is to protect products from external contaminants. In the food and pharmaceutical industries, cleanliness is not just a preference, it’s a legal requirement. Carton liners act as a hygienic barrier, preventing direct contact between your product and the box, which may contain dust, fibres, or residues.
2. Moisture and Leak Prevention
Certain products, especially perishables and frozen goods, are highly susceptible to moisture damage. A well-fitted liner prevents moisture ingress and also contains any internal leakage. This is particularly useful for frozen seafood, meat, or liquid products that need to remain sealed during transit.
3. Extended Shelf Life
Using carton liners can significantly extend the shelf life of perishable products. By reducing exposure to oxygen and humidity, liners help maintain freshness for longer, which is a huge advantage for food manufacturers and distributors.
4. Improved Efficiency and Cleanliness
Carton liners make packaging and cleanup more efficient. After use, the liner can be removed and disposed of easily, keeping the box clean and reusable. This reduces waste and simplifies logistics, especially in warehouse and food processing environments.
5. Cost-Effective Solution
Compared to more complex packaging systems, carton liners offer a cost-effective way to upgrade your packaging. They reduce product loss, prevent damage-related returns, and minimise the need for secondary packaging.
Common Uses for Carton Liners
At Large Box, we supply carton liners to a wide range of industries:

Choosing the Right Carton Liner
Selecting the right liner depends on a few key factors:
- Size of the Carton: The liner must fit snugly to ensure full protection.
- Product Type: Different materials may be required for liquids, powders, or temperature-sensitive goods.
