Types of cardboard boxes
Some box models can be produced using die-cutters and there are also boxes where this is not necessary. To make the most cost-effective decision for your business, it is important to consider the benefits of each solution. Here are the advantages of a group of standard boxes such as flap boxes, bottom + lid or so-called wrap boxes, and cut (die-cut) boxes.
The group of standard boxes includes:
- simple flap boxes (FEFCO 201)
- flap boxes with full flaps (FEFCO 203)
- boxes bottom + lid (FEFCO 300)
- wrap-around boxes (FEFCO 409)
Advantages of the above standard cardboard boxes:
- popular cardboard box models available on the market,
- no need for initial die-cutting costs,
- very easy to assemble,
- delivered flat takes up little storage space,
- economical and versatile,
- customisable dimensions,
- smaller production minimums than cut boxes,
- are made up of flaps which, when folded, cover the entire product dimension.
Advantages of cut (die-cut) boxes:
- no packing tape is required to assemble the box,
- aesthetic appearance,
- huge choice of styles, very high personalisation possibilities,
- printing on such boxes looks much more favourable,
- possibility to produce dedicated inserts for boxes, which immobilise the product inside the box,
- possibility to use the box not only for shipping, but also as a gift box or product box.
If you've just set up your online shop and don't want to invest a lot of money from the start - then we recommend the standard box solution. The choice comes down to your personal preference of design and style suitable for your products.
