I don't see a difference between recycled and "virgin" cardboard record
boxes. The difference is in how it's manufactured: double wall vs. single
wall corrugation; glued vs. stapled seams, and folding/assembling methods.
Though good quality Paige and Hollinger boxes do outlast most off-brand
comparable boxes.
