Small cardboard boxes can not only solve problems with packaging small products but also help to build your brand’s image.
Small Cardboard Boxes
Many ecommerce entrepreneurs and retailers forget to consider packaging before committing to sell a certain product. Small cardboard boxes aren't too important!
This is totally understandable. When going into business, the box your product is sent in probably isn’t the first thing on your mind.
But when it does time to consider your packaging, both extremely large and small products create a problem.
In the case of small products, it may be even more difficult to solve the problem:
- Small products are usually delicate - do you need a double wall or single wall cardboard box?
- Will a smaller box be secure by itself, or do you also need specific mailing boxes?
- Small cardboard boxes limit your design space - what role does your branding play?
- Will your small boxes double as storage boxes of a gift box for your customer?
No matter the size of your products, you also need to make sure that your packaging is easy to assemble. Boxes will come flat, and you want to spend as little time as possible folding your boxes!
Ways to use small cardboard boxes
Boxes for small products come in handy on many occasions – Christmas, weddings and just about any gift-giving event.
Small boxes usually imply something delicate, important or expensive. Jewellery, some form of electronic device or a fragile decoration of some kind.
Smaller sized boxes are recommended for packing items like mugs or perfume-size bottles, too.
Packaging products the correct way is crucial to keeping them secure. Many ecommerce boxes are usually multiple small cardboard boxes rather than one bigger box in order to ship their products too.
This not only lowers the cost of shipping but also means that each product has its own box, it’s own branding.
It’s simple enough for ecommerce brands to send a few small cardboard boxes in a single poly mailer bag or a larger shipping box.
Many brick-and-mortar stores offer small products in a small cardboard box and then give the entire purchase to a customer in a branded paper bag.
As you can see, using multiple small cardboard boxes can have many benefits!
The quality of small cardboard boxes
If you decide to use small cardboard boxes as a packaging solution, you need to be sure that they are of high quality - both in terms of strength and print quality.
Take a look below at the example of a small cardboard box that’s made with strength and security in mind.
Here you can see The Old Norse use a corrugated double-wall box to ship multiple items and keep them secure in the process.
On the other side of the coin, you may want to use a small cardboard box for decorative purposes.
In the image below, you can see how Happy Socks use small cardboard boxes for their socks.
