Cardboard Freight Services

Packaging converters, manufacturers and packers depend on a steady inbound flow of flat-pack sheets, rolls and die-cut stock. QFM handles the converter-to-packer-to-manufacturer flow — flat-pack corrugated sheets in stacked pallets (often 1.2 tonne+), rolls and reels on stillages, and die-cut cartons as palletised units. The product is flat-profile, which means pallet build matters — badly banded sheet stacks shift laterally during handling and arrive scuffed or damaged.

Most cardboard freight moves on palletnetworks and semi or B-Double lanes for higher-volume runs. For recurring converter-to-customer programs we build scheduled lanes with consistent pickup and delivery windows rather than ad-hoc bookings.

Cardboard Freight Profile

  • Flat-Pack Corrugated Sheets: Stacked sheets in pallet quantities move weight-heavy (1.0–1.6 tonnes per pallet common), requiring corner boards and tight banding to prevent lateral shift during handling.
  • Cardboard Rolls & Reels: Paper and cardboard rolls ride on stillages or purpose-built pallets — orientation-sensitive, easily damaged by forklift tine contact. Protective wrap and correct staging essential.
  • Die-Cut & Converted Stock: Palletised die-cut cartons move from converters to packers and manufacturers on standard LTL pallet networks; higher-volume programs run dedicated semi lanes.
  • Converter Supply Programs: Scheduled supply runs between converters and manufacturing customers — Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane lanes most active, with regional on-forwarding where required.
