How To Choose The Right Box For Your Product

In this brief guide, we’ll explore how to choose the ideal packaging to meet your product's requirements.

The variety of packaging solutions available today can be overwhelming. Selecting the right box, size, type, material, and finish can feel daunting.

Follow these three simple steps to find the best packaging solution for your offerings.

Custom Packaging

Step 1: What Do You Need Your Box For?

Packaging may seem straightforward—after all, it’s just a box, right? However, the right box can offer so much more!

Customer Delivery
If you're planning to ship your product via courier or postal service, consider using Mailing Boxes. Made from high-quality, recycled cardboard, these boxes come in various sizes to accommodate different items. Our larger sizes, like F93 and F112, are perfect for subscription boxes, while F62, F71, and F79 work well for clothing. For smaller items like jewelry or cosmetics, sizes F23, F33, and F44 are excellent choices.

If you need to ship multiple items in one box, opt for Shipping Boxes. These are sturdier than Mailer Boxes and are designed to safely transport heavier products. Jiaropack boxes, specifically designed for shipping beverages, provide secure options for wine, beer, and spirits.

In-Store Display
Quality packaging can enhance your product’s visibility on store shelves. Depending on your product size, both Mailer and Product Boxes can be suitable. Smaller items can be elegantly displayed in Two-Piece boxes, ideal for products like ties, socks, or wallets. Classic Product Boxes can add a pop of color for sweets or small accessories. Additionally, Jiaropack gift boxes make a fantastic upgrade for customers looking to present their purchases as gifts.

Storage Solutions
For storage needs at home or the office, consider using Cardboard boxes. Sizes F44 and F45 are perfect for organizing small office supplies and documents.

Step 2: What is Your Product?

Next, think about your product. Consider the following aspects:

Size
Knowing your product dimensions is crucial for effective box selection. Use an online box editor to view internal measurements.

If you require a custom size or shape, check out Jiaropack’s offerings. Simply describe your requirements, and we'll provide a quotation. Alternatively, use our augmented reality app to visualize box dimensions.

Fragility
For fragile items, using packaging fillers can protect them during transit. Jiaropack Mailer Boxes, with their thick, rigid cardboard, offer excellent protection against rough handling.

Weight
Consider your product's weight when selecting packaging. If it’s on the heavier side, Jiaropack’s Mailer or Shipping Boxes are ideal for ensuring secure delivery.

Material
Items made from glass or delicate materials may require additional padding for protection.

Step 3: Features of Your Packaging

Now that you know the purpose of your box and the nature of your product, it’s time to focus on the details!

Design
The aesthetics of your box will depend on the style you choose. Eco Mailer Boxes provide a natural look, while the Eco White variant allows for more intricate designs. If you’re looking for vibrant colors, Jiaropack’s Eco Colour Mailer Boxes offer a full CMYK print option, perfect for brands wanting to make a statement.

Secure Delivery
If packaging safety is your primary concern, consider adding Poly mailers to your Mailer Boxes. This will protect against harsh weather conditions. Alternatively, Jiaropack Shipping Boxes can provide the extra sturdiness you need.

Cost
If you’re just starting out, consider placing a small order for custom packaging—30 to 50 pieces is a good starting point. For a budget-friendly option, Eco or Eco White Mailer Boxes are excellent choices to test the waters. However, for a more premium look, explore Jiaropack’s Full-Colour Mailer Boxes and Product Packaging.

With these steps, your custom boxes will be ready to enhance your brand. Remember, packaging is more than just a box; it reflects your brand identity and creates a memorable experience for your customers, fostering loyalty and repeat business.
