Below, our editor introduces a comparison of these two products. The prefabricated packing boxes have two layers, complete with indoor accessories, and boast an upscale appearance. The materials chosen are also finer, highlighting the distinct differences between the two products.
Prefabricated packaging boxes and containers may not differ much in appearance and materials, but there is a world of difference in their craftsmanship. Below, we will briefly share the differences between packaging boxes and containers. Packaging boxes have evolved from container houses, while container mobile homes are developed on the basis of cargo containers and residential mobile homes. The difference between containers and packaging boxes lies in:
One: The frame link forms differ. Packaging boxes are connected to the posts and top-bottom beams with tight screws, whereas containers are joined through welding. Therefore, the production time for containers is significantly longer than for packaging boxes, and they are also not easily disassembled.
Two: The waterproof performance of the two is different. Taking a 3x6-meter packaging box on the market as an example, the main materials include 4 posts, four horizontal beams on both the upper and lower frames, and eight corner pieces (also known as corner fittings). A total of 64 screws are used to connect the corner pieces and the frames/posts. There are four pressure groove boards. The lower frame has nine secondary crossbeams. The wall and roof panels are made of double-sided color steel with a rock wool insulation layer in the middle. Some container houses also have special drainage pipes, concealed within the four posts, which improve the potential for water leakage in the houses. Unlike ordinary container houses, water flows do not scatter from the top and sides. All frame materials are made of hot-dipped galvanized steel sheets rolled into shape. The top beam comes with a drainage channel, ensuring the house's stability and enhancing its appearance, giving a sense of security and sturdiness. Therefore, the waterproof performance of the packaging box is superior to that of the container.
Three: Container houses have an advantage in stability and wind and earthquake resistance. However, with the optimization of material design for container houses and the improvement of assembly technology over the past few years, the wind resistance of packaged boxes has also been significantly enhanced. Additionally, due to their ease of assembly and immediate use, as well as convenient transportation and installation, and their attractive and elegant appearance, packaged boxes are more commonly chosen for construction sites in our country.
