Die-cut · string optionalOrdering packaging for the first time comes with jargon. Here's the short version of the three questions every first-time box buyer asks.
Corrugated is the wavy-layered board used for shipping — strong, crush-resistant, protective. Paperboard is the thin, smooth stock used for retail cartons like a cereal box.
Rule of thumb: if it goes through the mail alone, corrugated. If it sits on a shelf or inside another box, paperboard.
The "flute" is the wavy layer inside corrugated board. E-flute is thin and prints crisply — ideal for mailers. B and C flutes are thicker and tougher — better for shippers carrying weight.
ECT (edge crush test) is the strength rating. 32 ECT covers most e-commerce parcels.
Box sizes are internal dimensions, listed length × width × depth. Measure your product, then add roughly a quarter inch of clearance per side — more if you're adding inserts or void fill.
Oversizing is the most common first-order mistake: it costs more and ships worse.
Custom packaging is priced to spec, not off a shelf — so every order starts with a quote. Here's the whole process, start to doorstep.
Product, rough dimensions, quantity, print needs. Don't know the jargon? Plain English works — that's what the form is for.
One number that includes plates, dies, and shipping — plus a cheaper alternative if one exists.
You sign off on the dieline and artwork before anything is cut or printed. No surprises at delivery.
Your boxes ship flat-packed to your door. Reorders reuse your dieline, so round two is faster.
