Do you remember that feeling when you got your first iPhone? Do you remove the plastic seal and mark the sleek white box? When you touch the box for the first time, you have already felt the importance, quality and importance of this device. This is no accident! Apple has carefully designed how it should package its product to match its brand to provide the best product innovation and consumer experience!
It is clear that packaging plays a major role in the perceived value of a product. In general, the packaging industry has not changed much compared to the constant innovations in portable technology. With all the bundles and kits available on the market today, it is often difficult to choose the most suitable kit for your product. Let’s look at some different packaging options you can use to enhance your product and customer experience!
- Cardboard boxes
Cardboard is a paper-based material that is light but strong. It can be easily cut and processed to create custom shapes and textures. These features make it ideal for use in custom packaging. It is made by converting fibrous materials from wood or recycled paper into cellulose and then bleaching. Cartons are available in different grades, each to suit different packaging requirements.
The SBS box (or solid bleached sulphate) can be used to package cosmetics, medicines, milk and juices, cosmetics, frozen foods and more. The choice of coated or CUK (unbleached kraft) packaging is for those who prefer the natural and environmentally friendly appearance of recycled paper, which can be used for similar packaging applications. Kraft is often considered to be less resistant to moisture, making it unsuitable for packaging food-related or frozen products. A cardboard boxes and packaging can look great without high prices with the right combination of design options.
- Corrugated box
Corrugated board simply refers to what is generally known: cardboard. Corrugated boxes are what many probably think of as “boxes” because they produce large boxes, shoes, and storage spaces. Many people are unaware that corrugated boxes are of different types, depending on the strength and durability of the box. However, it is easy to find the location of a specific material wave. How to recognize the material? Due to its undulating environment (also known as ribbed). The wave material is easy to identify. It consists of three layers of paper, an outer lining, an inner lining, and a corrugated board (also known as tearing). A wavy environment that gives it strength and rigidity.
The main raw material for corrugated paper production is usually recycled paper, which is produced by high-precision machines known as corrugated board. This type of board can be recycled as a source of cellulosic fibers and recycled over and over again. Corrugated sheets are of different types, single-sided, double-sided (single-sided), double-sided and triangular. They can be used to make packaging with different properties, performance and durability. The sheet is cut and folded to make a surfboard of different sizes and shapes. Other uses for corrugated packaging include retail packaging, pizza boxes, small consumer packaging, and more.
- Plastic boxes
Plastic is used in a variety of products, from spacecraft to consumer goods. Some traditional materials, such as wood, leather, glass, ceramics, etc., have already been replaced by plastics.
Plastic cartons have many advantages that can be recycled and are generally much more sustainable than cardboard boxes. Airtight plastic packaging containers help to preserve food and eliminate contamination problems. Plastic packaging also does not break easily and can be stored with food in extreme conditions.
Another reason why plastic is a popular choice for packaging materials is that it can project a product from any angle without necessarily having to open the package. It is also flexible, lightweight and can be film or lined to improve the appearance of the package.
- Durable boxes
Of course, you’re always wondering what kind of box they used to carry their iPhone or luxury items like Rolex, Tiffany & Co. And Marc Jacobs. It looks like some sort of cardboard, but you’re still not sure how durable and first-class it looks. This type of cardboard material is called heavy box.
The sturdy box is made of very compact cardboard, which is 4 times thicker than the cardboard used in conventional folding boxes. The simplest examples of real-time hard cases are the Apple iPhone and iPad cases, which are two pieces of solid installation cases.
Compared to cardboard and golf boxes, durable boxes are actually the most expensive box style. Durable boxes usually do not require expensive or bulky shapes and are usually handmade. Lack of flexibility also gives them more volume in delivery, which is easily associated with high delivery costs.
These boxes are widely used in cosmetics, jewelry, technology and innovative luxury fashions. Easily add features such as drawers, windows, roofs, hinges, parts, domes and reliefs to the durable box.
- Particle packing
Particle packaging is used in the electronics, pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics and beverage industries and more. Particle board is usually a type of cardboard made from recycled paper. Easy to dig, bend and shape. This is an effective option for packaging your products.
It has different densities and hardness is determined by the density of the material. If you want to print your photos directly on the board, you can treat the board with bleaching sulfate and CCNB (Clay Coated News Back), which makes the material more durable.
Particle board packaging is not available when your company handles heavy items because particle board is a lightweight material designed for many foods such as cereals, cookies, napkins and so on. A particle board can also easily back up and cause discoloration and expansion if there is a lot of moisture in the storage environment.
- Polyester bags
A polyethylene bag, also called a bag or plastic bag, is made from a flexible thin film fabric. This is one of the most common types of packaging and can include a wide variety of products such as food, flowers, waste, chemicals, magazines, etc.
Polycots are durable but lightweight, multiple and flexible. Because polystyrene bags are simple, their design, style and size can be completely customized, but still effective. Depending on the structure, it is also possible to recycle plastic in several layers. Most polycots are made with safety elements, belt straps, hanging holes and bearing handles to ensure the products are well fixed and visually visible to the user.
- Sealed bags with aluminum foil
Sealed aluminum foil bags are commonly found in most coffee and tea containers. Why? This keeps the product tight, to preserve the taste, protects it from bacteria and helps to prolong the shelf life. Foil bags are used not only for food but also for clothing and apparel packaging. The process involves removing oxygen from the bag to keep the tissue tight and secure to prevent the growth of fungi and other bacteria. Nuts, grains, dirty fish, cheese and sausages are also packed in sealed aluminum foil bags to prevent spoilage.
