How to Choose the Right Cardboard Box

Packaging has several important responsibilities in your e-commerce business. It protects your products, ensuring they aren’t damaged in transit. It delivers a positive unboxing experience that leaves your customers with a favourable opinion of your brand. And – managed correctly – it helps you cut down on the materials you need, minimising both costs and waste.

But with all the different types of cardboard boxes available, how do you decide which is the ideal fit for your products? Start by taking a closer look at your company’s specific needs.

Cardboard Boxes For Gifts

Gift packaging is an opportunity to create a special and memorable moment for the recipient. What do you want someone to feel when opening your box? Anticipation, happiness, delight? Put yourself in their shoes. Send items in coloured boxes – available in various sizes and colours – that will leave a lasting impression.

Cardboard Boxes For Returns

Customer returns are an unavoidable part of e-commerce. The easier you make returns on your customers, the more your business benefits in the long run. You save time, money, and hassle – and you are more likely to gain satisfied repeat customers. Send orders in returnable postal boxes that have a double adhesive strip, facilitating smooth returns.

Cardboard Boxes For Specialty Products

If your e-commerce business specialises in distinct product categories, look for packaging solutions designed to accommodate them. For example:

- Boxes for wine or beer, flowers, shoes

- Book wrap mailers (ideal for books, magazines, comics, and other flat items)

- Mug boxes (also good for accessories and assorted small items)

- Triangular postal tubes for rolled documents and prints
