Although it may be easier to order stock box sizes, getting your product packaged in a custom size for your application can impact your overall bottom line.

Style

Application

What type of box is right for your application?

Machine vs. Non-Machine

Machine boxes: Machine corrugated boxes are made from two sheets of corrugated cardboard that are glued together to create the desired shape. These boxes are stronger and more resilient, making them a better option for shipping and storing heavier items.
Non-Machine Boxes: Non-machine corrugated boxes are typically made from a single sheet of cardboard that is scored and folded to create the desired shape. These boxes are typically less durable than machine corrugated boxes and are not as resistant to damage.

2. Litho Laminate: Litho Laminate is used for high quality and high quantity applications. This print style is applied to an adhesive, which is then stuck to the box.
3. Digital Printing: This is where the ink is applied directly onto the corrugated box. No print plate is required, allowing more versatility with your design and quality control.
Die Cut: For specialized/custom corrugated projects, cutting dies are used to create nonstandard shipping boxes.
Blister Cards: Custom Blister cards are a great way to protect, add quality, and viewability to your product. Having a supplier who can offer high quality blister cards for your application can ensure your package is finished with a beautiful presentation.

Challenges

What challenges are you experiencing with corrugate?

My Tape is Having Issues Sticking to my Boxes.

As reuse and recycling become more prevalent, this changes the way boxes respond to anything taped or inked onto them. Depending on if you’re using recycled vs. non-recycled corrugate will make a difference. Recycled corrugate does not produce as much grip, so that it will respond differently to different types of adhesives and inking.

How Can I Combat Price Increases on my Corrugate?

Customizing your box size can impact how much you’re spending on your corrugate. If you’re purchasing a stock box and it’s too big for your product, you may find switching to a custom box size will save you money on the excess corrugate from the stock box you’re purchasing.
