Most of our packaging is shipped flat to optimize shipping costs; however it requires minor assembly upon arrival.

Special rigid box structures may need to be shipped in their constructed form as they can't be flattened due to the nature of the box style.

We aim to package all of our products accordingly and with care to ensure your packaging can withstand the potentially harsh elements of travel and handling.

4.Guides & How to's

(1) How do I know what material to order?

Choosing the best material for your packaging can sometimes be difficult! Don't worry! During your consultation stage with our product specialists, we will help determine the best material for your product even if you have already chosen a material when submitting your quote request.

(2) How do I determine what size box I need?

To determine the correct box size you need, measure your product left to right (length), front to back (width) and bottom to top (depth).

(3) How should packaging dimensions be measured?

Rigid & Corrugated Packaging

Due to the nature of rigid and corrugated packaging is made of thick material, it is recommended to use internal dimensions. Using the internal dimensions guarantees the absolute correct amount of space needed to fit your products perfectly.

Folding Carton & Other Packaging

Packaging types made of thinner material like folding cartons or paper bags are generally okay to use external dimensions. However, because it is industry standard to use internal dimensions, it would be easier to stick with internal dimensions to avoid any future issues.

If you are having trouble getting the measurements for your packaging, you may reach out to your designated sales representative for some additional help.
