Bespoke boxes can be used just like standard cardboard boxes. Whether you’re using a custom printed box or custom size box, they can be used for storing, shipping and protecting your products.
Printed cardboard boxes can be a great idea if you want to promote your brand, push a specific campaign or communicate key messages on your packaging.
At Macfarlane Packaging, we can supply a huge range of boxes. This includes corrugated transit boxes, as well as gift and retail boxes. Here’s just a few of the kinds of cardboard cartons we can offer:
We can provide all these different types of boxes in custom sizes, bespoke specifications (e.g. white cardboard instead of brown or performance board grades), plus we can print them with your colours, branding and messages.
The size of the box (or boxes) you need will depend on the product(s) you’re shipping. You need to take into account the size, shape, weight, and fragility of your product(s), as these will all influence what size and kind of box you need.
For example, if you ship a range of different size products or pack multiple products you may want to buy a range of different size cardboard boxes that will accommodate all your goods.
To find out what size boxes you need, you should start by measuring the length, width, and depth (or height) of your product(s). At Macfarlane Packaging, we recommend that you measure in millimetres (mm). This measurement will represent the internal dimensions you need for your box or boxes.
If you want to know the external size of a box you’re researching, you usually need to add several mm to the internal dimensions. The exact number of mm will depend on the thickness of the corrugated cardboard used to make your box. For example, if it is a single wall cardboard box or a double wall cardboard box.
