Boxes have
been used for packaging for many years. And with time the demand for boxes has
changed. By that I mean that though they are still very much in use their
demand has become much more complicated. There are several ways of packaging a
product. A brief overview would include three types.
The first
type being structural packaging. This type of packaging is preferred for when
the product inside needs some extra protection. This would be especially true
for expensive products such gadgets and vases.
The second
type of packaging is complex packaging. This is an important time as it is
meant for products that are of irregular size and shape. When using such
packaging it is possible to make room for several goods at a single time, by
making different sections in a box. Beer boxes are good examples of this
However, it is true that the standard design
and size just doesn’t cut it anymore. Apart from putting their own spin on the
design now firms also need the box size modified to fit their products.
Many companies
specialize in this field now. That is they sell boxes of custom design and
shape to others. For example a standard Xbox 360 box is not available in the
market for Microsoft to just go and buy it. They have to employ specialist
firms in order to get the correct box to package the console into.
There are several advantages of ordering custom boxes
1. Custom boxes are made of high quality
material that ensure security of the package inside
2. These custom boxes are also cheaply
available at wholesale and, therefore are budget friendly
3. Since custom boxes are modified to
the customer’s needs this means that the consumer gets exactly what they want.
For example if they customer is moving they can get a box to exactly fit all of
their possessions into it.
4. It is extremely easy to order such
boxes from the internet
5. The fifth advantage of custom boxes
is that, once ordered it does not take long for them to be delivered. They can
also be delivered to your doorstep
6. Sixthly these boxes can be easily re
ordered before they reach reorder level
7. Such boxes are completely
customizable. This means apart from their design the “feel” of the box can also
be changed, through film lamination. This will allow gloss and matte finishes
to cardboard box.
8. Another advantage is that printing
can be done both inside and outside the box.
9. Flexo printing can also be used to
customize the box to a further extent. With flexo coat being the most effective
type.
10. Another
advantage is that since you have the liberty to add or subtract anything required
from the box means you can do thing like embossing/debossing. This can make
your packaging look more elegant and can help add a whole new dimension to it.
These are thing which printing alone cannot do for you. Embossing will lead to
an image being raised above the surface of the box and debossing will depress
it. Meaning all of this can lead to an image that can not only be seen but also
felt. Meaning the consumer gets a truly unique feel and look to their
packaging.
