Cardboard Boxes

The Advantage of High-Quality Custom Cardboard Boxes

Cardboard boxes are what we associate with new purchases, whether checked out at a cashier or delivered to our doorstep. Unboxing offers the experience of unraveling a product we’ve long been waiting for. At the same time, it offers a branding opportunity, especially for online businesses.

A physical parcel lets customers experience what your brand has to offer in real-time.  For instance, Target included a delivery van printed on its side. Children can easily repurpose the box and pretend they’re driving this van. Reusability and brand recall are fulfilled in maximizing and rethinking a custom cardboard box’s design.

How to Customize Your Cardboard Boxes

Choose the correct size for your box’s length, width, and depth. The product page will show a 3D preview of these selected dimensions. 

Select the sides that will show your printed design. Full-color printing is available on the outside or inside, or on both the outside and inside. 

Create a design online or have us send a dieline template based on your artwork. The online design tool lets you add text, images, colors, and shapes on the outside and inside parts of the box. The 3D preview shows how your printed cardboard boxes could look based on the created design.  

Keep your audience in mind as you create the design. You are not the target market for your product. Remove any biases about your preferences and think about what your customer likes. Is your product targeting health buffs? What colors would appeal to this kind of mindset? Look into doing market research to get specifics about your desired demographic. 

Design a hassle-free unboxing experience. Every customer looks forward to immediately seeing and enjoying the item they ordered. While you want to keep the items safe in transit, the packaging should also provide an exciting reveal for your customer. List down any problems your customers have had with opening your previous and products and see how this can be improved in your next custom cardboard boxes design. This will help improve the unboxing experience of your customers and compel them to share it on social media.
