Not all products require a heavy corrugated box or the sturdiness of a rigid box to ship, there are a large number of retail products that basically need packaging to look as if it were planned and that’sbe sturdy throughout standard use. For businesses that do not require such a heavier build, it can simply be an over-expense, or go the other route and opt for simple, unbranded stock boxes to save the green cents. The middle case is when you want a lightweight folding carton that can be printed, stands up, and is really not that much more expensive than a hard or heavy packaging boxes wholesale, and yet does not look like a second thought.

What are Custom Chipboard Boxes?

A lighter-weight board than corrugated or rigid board, chipboard is usually made into lightweight folding cartons for easy storage and expansion for packing. Lightweight folding cartons are an ideal choice for items that require a specific shape and appearance and can withstand the pressure of retail shelves but not the rigors of shipping. Its weight is between that of plain stock packaging and rigid or corrugated packaging; it is more branded than a plain stock bag, and it is sturdier than a rigid setup box, but it is lighter and cheaper.

Benefits for Businesses

The major advantage of this format is branding: Chipboard is ideal for offset and digital printing; custom boxes can be fully coloured, and rigid construction is not cost-competitive. Protection is matched to requirements; not overbuilt, folding cartons keep shape during normal use and protect the product without paying for strength not required. Cost savings are the bottom line, packaging boxes wholesale at chipboard costs are significantly lower than rigid or thick corrugated at similar order volumes, allowing for other business areas to be covered. Eco-friendly recycled chipboard is near standard, as chipboard is a lower-impact board type compared to heavier grades. Packaging that looks thoughtful without being expensive for the consumer is great for customer experience also.

Revealing the true identity of the customers behind custom chipboard boxes.

Custom boxes must “perform” for retail brands that are selling small consumer goods, such as supplements, cosmetics, accessories, and more, without having a “rigid-box budget”. Brands that need to be transitioned off generic stock packaging should get an affordable start into real packaging and brand before putting money into heavier construction. In the case of subscription brands and gift brands, lightweight folding cartons are required to be presentable without any extra shipping weight and cost. For private-label manufacturers with multiple brands, quick and inexpensive reprinting between brands requires wholesale chipboard packaging.
