Packaging for shipping and e-commerce

Shipping boxes for safe and convenient delivery

A shipping box must protect the product from warehouse to recipient, assemble quickly and avoid unnecessary volume. Construction depends on product dimensions, weight, fragility, contents, filling method and delivery chain. E-commerce packaging also benefits from convenient opening, neat presentation and space for branding or instructions. Standard sizes can be selected from available products, while custom needs are handled through a production enquiry.

Shipping packaging types

The box follows the shipment journey

A small light product and a heavier multi-part set need different constructions and internal protection.

01

Self-locking mailer boxes

Convenient constructions for smaller products, orders and neat presentation to the recipient.

02

Regular slotted boxes

A versatile option for shipments, storage and order consolidation.

03

Boxes with inserts

Internal elements limit product movement and separate several components.

04

Printed shipping boxes

Logo, instructions or markings are adapted to construction and run.

Efficient shipping

Less empty space can reduce void fill

A suitable size stabilises the product and can reduce extra filling material, but protection must not be compromised.

  • Measure the product with required protection
  • Check carrier or parcel locker limits
  • Evaluate packing time
  • Plan a return scenario where needed

How should shipping box size be selected?

Measure the product with necessary protection and check carrier limits. The box should be neither too tight nor unnecessarily large.

Can boxes be printed with a logo?

Yes. Printing method and minimum quantity depend on construction, board, artwork and run.

Can inserts be added?

Yes. Inserts and partitions can fix the product, separate parts and improve presentation.

When is a custom box needed?

What determines price?

Construction, dimensions, board, quantity, printing, inserts and other production operations determine price.
