Compared to the constant innovation of enabling technologies such as pocket packaging, the packaging industry has not changed much in recent years. Finding the best luxury presentation boxes for your product can be difficult with so many packages, cartons, etc., on the market today. Here, we look at the different types of packaging that we can use to enhance the product and customer experience.
Do you remember how excited you were when you first held your iPhone in your hand? When you peel back the plastic seal and touch the shiny white casing? When you first connect the case, you already feel this device’s importance, quality, and meaning. It’s no coincidence — Apple has carefully chosen product packaging that matches its brand identity and delivers premium product innovation and customer experience. Overall, it is clear that packaging plays a significant role in the perceived value of a product.
Corrugated cardboard for electronic components
Corrugated cardboard is a paper-based material that is lightweight but very strong. We can cut it easily to create original shapes and textures. These characteristics make it an ideal material for custom box packaging. It is made from recycled wood or old paper that has been polished and bleached. There are various types of corrugated cardboard, each with its suitable packaging.
SBS board (or solid sulfate bleach board) can be used to package cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, milk and juice, personal care products, and frozen foods. Those who choose Kraft or CUK (Coated Unbleached Kraft) prefer recycled paper’s natural, eco-friendly look in similar packaging applications.
Boxes made of corrugated cardboard
Boxes made of corrugated cardboard are called corrugated cardboard. Many people think of corrugated cardboard for large shipping boxes, shoe boxes, and storage boxes. Many people don’t know that there are many different types of corrugated cardboard with varying durability and strength. However, some corrugated materials are easy to identify. How do we identify these materials? Through its corrugated media (also known as grooves). Identifying corrugated cardboard materials is easy. It consists of three layers: outer lining, inner lining, and inner core (also called corrugation). The corrugated media gives it strength and rigidity.
The main raw material for the corrugated board is usually recycled paper, which is produced in large, high-precision machines called corrugators. The companies use these corrugated boards as raw materials for cellulose fibers or recycled. There are different types of corrugated boards like single layer, double layer (single wall), double layer, and triple layer. They are used to create packaging with other properties, characteristics, and thicknesses.
Plastic case for protection
Many companies use plastic for everything from spaceships to paper clips. Some traditional materials such as wood, leather, glass, and ceramics have been replaced by plastics. Plastic packaging has many advantages, including being recyclable and generally more durable than cardboard. Plastic packaging is airtight, which helps preserve food quality and avoid contamination issues. Plastic packaging is also less fragile and can be stored with food in harsh conditions. Another reason to choose plastic is that it can display the product from all angles without opening the packaging. It is also flexible, lightweight, and can be covered with films and coatings to enhance the appearance of the package.
Strong and tough case
You wonder what kind of boxes are used for packaging luxury items like iPhones, Rolexes, Tiffany’s, and Marc Jacobs. It looks a bit like cardboard. But the sturdy and luxurious looks set it apart. This type of cardboard is called cardboard. The rigid box is made of high-density cardboard and is four times thicker than a normal folding box. The simplest example of a hard case is the two-piece hard case that holds an Apple iPhone or iPad.
Rigid setup boxes can be a more expensive category than cardboard or corrugated cardboard. The packaging firms make rigid boxes and cases usually by hand and do not require costly molds or bulky machines. They are also often expensive to transport because they cannot be folded. These boxes are often used to sell luxury cosmetics, jewelry, technology, and high-end fashion. Rigid boxes can easily incorporate platforms, windows, lids, hinges, dividers, domes, and reliefs.
Cardboard packaging
Chipboard packaging is used in electronics, medical, food, cosmetics, and beverages. Particleboard is essentially corrugated cardboard made from recycled paper. It can be easily cut, folded, and shaped. It can be used for the economical packaging of products. It comes in different densities, and the thickness determines the strength of the material.
When printing directly on particleboard, bleaching with sulfuric acid and treating with CCNB (clay coating press) can increase the material’s durability. Particleboard is a lightweight material used in many food products such as cereal, cookies, and tissue boxes. Therefore, companies handling heavy goods should not use cardboard packaging. Additionally, particleboard tends to weaken in humid storage environments, leading to discoloration and swelling.
