Mailing cartons – convenient shipping for your business

Folding cartons are indispensable equipment for every online shop, irrespective of the shipping method the seller offers. What are the characteristics of this type of box and why is it worth packing shipments in it?

Using shipping boxes makes packing goods really easy and fast, and this is because they are easy to assemble and do not require gluing or tape. In addition, they can be used for shipping regardless of the form – they are suitable for sending by post, courier and parcel post. Of course, you need to match the size of the box to the type and size of your shipment. However, there is plenty of choice, so every online shop owner is sure to find the shipping packaging that suits their needs.

What is a cardboard box?

A cut box (also known as a postcardboard box) is a cardboard packaging made of die-cut cardboard (die-cut cardboard). It has a complex construction, so it cannot be produced in ordinary slotter machines – you need a die-cutter, i.e. a device for making a specific, individual packaging. With it, any cut and size of box can be achieved. Such cartons can also be made to individual order. However, it is necessary to prepare the die-cutter well, as once it has been made, it can no longer be changed without incurring additional costs. Most entrepreneurs, however, use ready-made packaging of this type – the choice of sizes and types is really large.

Cut boxes have flaps and wings, making them easy to assemble and without the need for gluing.

Boxes are not only used for shipping, but also for storing and keeping goods. They can be used repeatedly and are therefore environmentally friendly and economical. In addition, they are made from recycled cardboard and can be recycled again. They are available in various sizes and thicknesses.

They are packaging that should undoubtedly be used in every online shop – for the convenience and comfort of both buyer and seller.

What should a solid cardboard box have in common?

The cut shipping boxes used in online shops should be:

shock-resistant, damage-resistant, dirt-resistant and weather-resistant
Practical and easy to assemble
Robust and strong
aesthetic
the right size.

Good quality cut cardboard boxes should be resistant to factors that occur during transport, such as shock, vibration, mechanical damage, as well as atmospheric factors and dust and dirt.

The cut boxes are characterised by their easy and convenient closure, which does not require the use of adhesive tape or glue or any other additional protection. The fact that products can be quickly packed in these boxes is a huge plus for the retailer, as this makes the packing process more efficient.

They should be robust, thanks to being made of good quality, thick 3-ply corrugated cardboard. The double side walls make postal cartons more resistant than other types of cardboard packaging.

The aesthetic appearance is also important, which is of great importance to customers. These boxes come in the traditional brown version, but you can also buy mailing boxes covered with white Kraft paper and brown boxes with a white interior.

A cut box should also be sized appropriately for its contents – only then is the use of such packaging economical – there is no need for additional fillers. This approach is also ecological, as it uses less material. In addition, packing small items in large, unsuitable sized boxes does not look very professional. The online shop should equip its warehouse with size-appropriate cut boxes for the products it sells.
