In this short guide, you'll see how to find the right packaging to fit the needs of your product.
The range of packaging solutions in the market is becoming more and more complex. It becomes hard to choose the right box, let alone the right size, type, material and finish option.
This process of 3 easy steps, will help you choose the best boxing solution for whatever you're selling.
#1 What Do You Need Your Box For?
Packaging is simple.
It's a box, right?
Why does it have to be so hard?
How come there are so many details?
Well, the answer is simple - it is a box, but it the right box does more!
Customer delivery
If you plan to send your product via courier delivery or using postal boxes, the best solution is Mailing Boxes. They are made from a high-quality, recycled cardboard. Depending on the size, you can use these boxes to send plenty of different things.
Our biggest sizes - F93 and F112 - are great for subscription boxes. F62, F71, F79 are great boxes for clothes, while the smallest sizes (f23, F33 and F44) can serve as a delivery solution for many items including jewellery, belts, cosmetics and other accessories.
If you plan to send a bigger number of products in one box, we suggest Shipping Boxes. They are more solid than Mailer Boxes. Shipping Boxes will secure the delivery of clothes and other heavy items. Check out our boxes for bottles to safely send beer, wine spirits or other bottled liquids.
Display at a shop
Quality boxes can increase the exposure of your product on a shop shelf. Depending on the size of the product, either Mailer or Product Boxes can be a good fit.
Small items can be displayed in smaller boxes. The Two-Piece version is a fantastic presentation box ties, bowties, socks, wallets etc. The Classic Product Boxes would look good as a colourful packaging for sweets, small clothing accessories or a card game.
Custom branded gift boxes are a great add-on to your shop, as you can sell them as an upgrade, enabling your customer to gift their purchase.
Storage
If you need additional storage at home or the office, Cardboard boxes are a great solution. Small office equipment and documents can be kept out of sight, out of mind. The best-sized storage boxes are F44 and F45.
#2 What is your Product?
The second step is to think about your product. There are several things to consider:
Size
Think about your product inside a box. It's important to know the size of the product because it helps to imagine the arrangement of it inside the box.
When using the online box editor, you can see the internal measurements of length, width and height.
