Right-sized boxes matter
A box that is too small may crush the product or leave no room for cushioning. A box that is too large may increase dimensional weight, require more void fill, and look careless to the customer.
Common box decisions
- Single-wall or stronger corrugated construction.
- Mailer box, regular slotted carton, or carrier-provided box.
- One flexible size or several product-specific sizes.
- Plain box or branded/customer-facing packaging.
Plan before buying cases
Measure the packed product, not just the product. Add realistic protection space and test the package before buying a large case.
