Custom cardboard boxes are good for many things. They are not all the same. Some are thin for products on a shelf. Others are thick for shipping heavy items. We make both kinds. These boxes give your products a great look and feel.
When people say “cardboard,” they often mean two things. First, there is paperboard. It is thin and dense. We measure its thickness in points. In fact, 18pt to 24pt is standard for product boxes.
This material is smooth. It is great for printing. Then, there is corrugated board. It has three layers. There are two flat layers with a wavy layer in the middle. This material is strong. We use it for shipping boxes.
For corrugated board, we use different flutes. E-Flute is thin, about 1/16″ thick. It is good for light products. Also, it has a good surface for printing. B-Flute is thicker, about 1/8″ thick. It is very strong. We use it for shipping heavy or fragile products. This material gives more protection.
We use different printing methods. We use offset printing for paperboard. This makes high-quality, realistic pictures. On the other hand, we use flexographic printing for corrugated board. This is good for simple designs and logos. It is a cost-effective choice. We also add finishes.
Lamination makes the box stronger. Spot UV makes parts of the design shiny. Embossing raises a design. These finishes make the box look better.
Do you have a fragile item? Or a kit with many parts? Custom cardboard boxes with inserts are a good solution. The box can be a simple tuck-end box or a two-piece box. The key is the insert inside. The insert is custom-made. It holds the product perfectly.
The inserts can be different materials. We use paperboard for a clean fit. This is good for perfume bottles. We use corrugated E-Flute for more protection. This is good for glass items. Finally, we can use EVA foam. This is the best choice for a premium feel. It holds the product very securely.
Custom cardboard cereal boxes are a special type of packaging. They are for dry food. They must be safe for food. We use 18pt to 24pt SBS paperboard. This material is food-grade. It is safe to use.
The structure is a tuck-end box. The flaps close securely. The top flap often has a friction lock. This lets you close the box again after opening it. We use offset printing on these boxes. The colors are very bright. This helps the box get noticed in the store. Inside, the cereal is in a sealed bag. The box is a secondary container.
When you ship many items in one box, you need a cardboard divider box. This is a standard shipping box with a grid inside. The dividers are also made from corrugated board, usually B-Flute.
The divider grid has interlocking slits. We make the grid to fit your items. It holds each item in its own space. This stops the items from hitting each other. It prevents damage. The dividers also make the whole box stronger. In fact, they add more crush resistance. They protect your products from all sides.
