Start With What Goes Inside

What is the most important factor when it’s about packaging? It is not about choosing a dense or thick board. Brands have to think beyond the board and consider product requirements. It is important for what product you are going to use the box for. Product weight, size, intended use, sales channel, and product fragility matter.

Different products have different packaging requirements. Some need paper-based inserts and some products need special wrapping. For e-commerce brands, a secure closing mechanism is more important than for retail products. That’s where PremiumBoxes helps you professionally. We make custom cardboard packaging boxes exclusively according to the product requirements.

Get the Dimensions Right

Product dimensions are important for right-sized packaging. Measure your product’s length, width, and height. If you want to add inserts, wraps, dividers, or any accessory, consider it while measuring the product. Provide us with accurate product dimensions to get packaging that is neither oversized nor undersized. It also reduce the materials waste and helps brands become more responsible.

Think About the Sales Channel

Custom shipping boxes have different needs than retail packaging. E-commerce products have to go through severe handling, stacking, and shipping conditions. These products need more protection than others.

We design packaging boxes according to the sales channel. For appealing and practical packaging, a box has to be manufactured according to the sales channel. We ask our customers how the product will be packed, stacked, handled and delivered.

Follow the Product Requirements

Getting personalized packaging is beneficial for brands. Brands have complete freedom to choose the closure mechanism, custom inserts, and windows.

Cardboard Can Be Light Without Feeling Cheap

Although cardboard is a paper based material, it provides the required protection. It is different from paperboard in terms of strength, rigidity, thickness, and heaviness. It can be folded into any desired shape while protecting the products. It is printable and gives vibrant results. Brands can choose the thickness according to their preferences and product requirements.

Choose the Right Card Stock

Cardboard is made from card stock materials like SBS and CCNB. It is important for brands to know about the difference between these materials. The right material selection depends on the product’s weight and size.

  • SBS C1S (Solid Bleached Sulfate, Coated One Side)
  • SBS C2S (Solid Bleached Sulfate, Coated Two Side)
  • CCNB (Clay Coated News Back)
  • Fully Recycled CCNB

Card Stock Materials for Custom Cardboard Boxes

Material Thickness Specifications Uses
SBS C1S (Solid Bleached Sulfate, Coated One Side) 12 pt to 24 pt (approx. 0.3 mm to 0.6 mm) Premium white paperboard with one coated printable side. Has a smooth surface that provides high-quality print results. Cosmetics boxes, skincare boxes, pharmaceutical boxes, food boxes
SBS C2S (Solid Bleached Sulfate, Coated Two Side) 12 pt to 28 pt (approx. 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm) Bleached paperboard coated on both sides. It has a vibrant white surface that gives packaging a premium appearance. Luxury packaging, cosmetic products, electronics packaging, gift boxes, apparel boxes.
CCNB (Clay Coated News Back) 16 pt to 30 pt (approx. 0.4 mm to 0.75 mm) Budget-friendly paperboard made from a recycled fiber base with a clay-coated surface. It is printable and cost-efficient. Food boxes, bakery packaging, retail product boxes

Pick the Box Style Before You Pick the Artwork

Wrong structure with an appealing design cannot protect the product and represent the brand. Therefore, we ask our customers to choose the box style before choosing the artwork. 

We have different box styles that offer a specific function.

Make Your Packaging Easy to Open

A pleasing unboxing experience gives you returning customers. Especially nowadays, people upload their unboxing videos on social media, where people watch and follow the recommendations. Hence, an easy-to-open box attracts more customers than complicated-designed boxes.  Therefore, always choose an opening that is easy to operate and protects your products.

Additionally, handling and delivery methods also matter for the box opening and closing mechanism.

  1.  For retail packaging, a tuck closure mechanism works well.
  2. Mailer boxes come with a locking tab that offers great protection for shipping products.
  3. For a controlled opening, brands can opt for a drawer mechanism.
  4. If you are looking for enhanced presentation, then get a sleeve and tray mechanism.

Put Your Brand on Every Panel That Matters

Adding branding elements to a box is an important part of custom-sized cardboard boxes. Branding is not only about placing the logo. The whole design, artwork, printing, finish, and text have to be relevant. Moreover, it is important where you place the brand name, logo, product name, product information, and other related details.

At PremiumBoxes, we have a team that assists brands with artwork placement and panel planning. For an effective and impressive box, we add the brand name, logo, product name, and type on the front panel. The back panel is used for other brand elements such as business address, contact information, instructions, warnings, claims, and social media handles. Side panels are used for a QR code, a thank-you message, and brand story. Placing the text at right place helps the packaging be easily recognizable.

Use Color to Build Recognition

Brand color is also a part of branding tools. A specific brand color makes the packaging recognizable and helps customers to spot the product range. It is critically important to keep consistency for the product range. We use different printing methods to get exact brand color.

Give Product Information a Clear Place

A packaging box should offer complete information about a product. Customers get in touch with packaging before the product. Hence, a packaging box should have ingredients, product type, warnings, usage instructions, care instructions, approved claims, and warnings. Moreover, brand information like contact details, barcodes, and social media handles are crucial to get in touch in case of any problem.

Use the Inside Too

We also offer inside printing for cardboard packaging. Brands can get boxes with both inside and outside printing. Inner panels are sued for special messages, discount offers, QR codes, and brand story.

Printing That Makes Your Box Recognizable

Can printing method affect the result? Are different printing methods used for different objectives? Yes, for both questions. Different methods give different result and they are used for different objectives. Hence, choosing a method that works well for you is significant.

Digital Printing

For short runs, detailed artwork, samples, and projects where flexibility matters; we use digital printing.

Offset Printing

For larger productions, sharp graphics, and fast turnarounds, offset printing is best.

CMYK Printing

For full-color artwork, gradients, specific brand artwork and illustrations, CMYK is used.

PMS Printing

To get the exact brand color match, we use PMS printing.

Flexographic Printing

For larger orders, short timelines, and simple artwork, we use flexography.

A Finish Should Have a Reason

Take two boxes- one with a good finish and one without it. Which will get the customer’s attention? The answer is obvious. A box that is thoughtfully designed with the right finish will attract customers and show a product’s value.

  • Matte Lamination
  • Gloss Lamination
  • Soft Touch
  • Foil Stamping
  • Embossing
  • Debossing
  • Spot UV
  • Holographic Foiling

Use Inserts When the Product Needs Its Own Space

Custom inserts are significant for fragile and multi-product packaging. Inserts help to keep the products in a fixed position, keep them organized, and reduce the chances of clashes and damage.

We have different types of inserts: paper-based inserts, foam, molded pulp, dividers, and compartments. Inserts protect the products and make sure your customers get the product intact and in an organized form. If you are packaging multiple accessories in a package, then getting dividers is recommended to keep the products in individual spaces.

Cardboard Packaging: a Smart Sustainability Choice

Cardboard is a sustainable, eco-friendly, and recyclable material. If your business goal is go greener, then get custom cardboard packaging boxes. As it is a paper-based material so it is environmentally friendly. Responsible brands always opt for smart choices that are beneficial for them and the environment. According to the EPA, cardboard is a commonly recyclable material.

However, to make your packaging completely sustainable, you have to make the right choices. Only with material, you can make your packaging completely eco-friendly.

If sustainability matters to your business, cardboard gives you a strong starting point because paper-based packaging has an established recycling stream in the United States.

Use Only the Material You Need

The first step to get sustainable packaging is getting right-sized packaging. An oversized box will use more material, and that is unnecessary. Always carefully measure your product dimensions to reduce the chances of material wastage.

Keep the Structure Efficient

Keeping the structure efficient is also important for eco-friendliness. Adhesive, coating, lamination, printing, and magnetic closures can affect the efficiency. Therefore, be careful and choose what is essential.

Your Box Should Work for the Way You Sell

Sales channels impact the packaging. Every selling way has different needs, and brands should consider them. A retail business needs packaging that is shelf-friendly, has an attractive display, and can handle stacking. E-commerce products need robust and secure closure. Food businesses need packaging that is food-grade and keep the temperature.

We cannot provide you with a standard carton to use for different products. Product presentation, protection, closure, and delivery will be compromised this way. Therefore, we ask our customers about intended use so we can provide them with packaging that works well for their products.

Inserts, wraps, and printing methods are chosen according to the product selling method.
