The Material
The shipping process can oftentimes be a bumpy ride. Choosing the right material for your mailer box is the key to creating packaging that will protect your products and withstand postal handling. In a previous blog post, we walked you through what cardboard is and what makes it so durable. Different flute sizes offer different levels of rigidity and protection.
Here at LeKAC, we most commonly use E-flute and B-flute! What makes corrugated cardboard the ideal material for the perfect mailer box is that while it’s durable, it’s also extremely lightweight!
The Size
Size matters… For your boxes! Choosing the right sized box can not only help prevent your products from moving around too much in transit, it can also send a message about your brand’s values! Excessively large boxes can be seen as wasteful, whereas a box that’s too small can give the impression you’re cutting costs. We want your packaging to work for you while also making sense for your business. The best part about working with LeKAC? All of your packaging is made to order, meaning no stock sizes and full control over your box’s dimensions!
The Design
Creating a design that speaks for your brand is an easy way to connect with your customers, but it can also be functional! Sometimes, flashy exteriors aren’t idea for security purposes, so brands will use the inside of the box to pack a punch instead! Interior print can be used to convey information, to connect with customers, or even just for aesthetics!
How It All Comes Together
Now you have all the components of your mailer box! What comes next? Before printing, we provide something called a dieline of the box for your to view your design from all angles–think of it as a 2D overview!
The mailer box’s construction requires no glue, making it easy to assemble! Using a tab locking structure, these boxes come together quickly while providing all the protection you need! We see this style used for all kinds of businesses, from fashion to technology and everything in between! Ready to get started on your custom packaging journey?
