Technical Specs: Shipping Boxes
An outline of the common custom options available for shipping boxes.
Corrugation
Corrugations, those wavy lines in cardboard (also called flutes), are key to its strength. Glued between flat sheets of paperboard, they create a sturdy structure that protects your packages.
| E-flute | Frequently chosen, it features a flute thickness ranging from 1.2 to 2mm. |
|---|---|
| B-flute | Perfect for bulky boxes and weighty objects, offering a flute thickness between 2.5 and 3mm. |
Materials
Printed designs are applied to these foundational materials, which are subsequently adhered to corrugated board. Recycled stock options are available on request.
| White | High-quality printing results from using Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS) paper. |
|---|---|
| Brown kraft | Unbleached brown paper, best suited to black or white printing. |
Printing
Choose the color system that suits your artwork and brand.
| CMYK | CMYK stands as the most common and budget-friendly color scheme in printing. |
|---|---|
| Pantone | Prints brand colors accurately and is a step up from CMYK. |
Coating
To keep your printed designs safe, a special coating is added that prevents scratches and scuffs.
| Varnish | A water-based coating that protects less than lamination. |
|---|---|
| Lamination | A plastic coated layer that offers protection against cracks and tears. |
Finishes
Choose a finish to change how the surface looks and feels.
| Matte | Featuring a smooth and non-reflective surface, this design provides an overall softer look. |
|---|---|
| Glossy | Glossy and reflective, this surface tends to highlight fingerprints more. |
| Satin | Semi-glossy, striking a balance between a matte and glossy appearance. |
| Soft touch | Looks like a matte finish but feels soft and velvety to the touch. |

What are custom shipping boxes?
Custom shipping boxes are made from corrugated cardboard to the needs of your business or product. They can be made in any size, shape and thickness and printed with your logo or other branding.
