How to choose the right box

Selecting the right packaging box is more than a practical step, it’s a strategic decision that impacts product safety, customer experience, and your brand image.

At KB Packaging, we understand that packaging is not just about containment; it’s about presentation, protection, and cost efficiency. Here’s how to make the best choice for your products. Especially during peak seasons where first impressions really count.

Types of Boxes

We offer a wide range of packaging solutions designed to meet different needs:

  • Single-Wall Cardboard Boxes – Lightweight and economical, these are perfect for everyday shipping where strength is not the primary concern.
  • Double-Wall Cardboard Boxes – Built for durability, these boxes provide extra protection for heavier or fragile items during transit.
  • Mailer Boxes – A favourite for e-commerce businesses and subscription services, combining practicality with a neat presentation.
  • Crash Lock Boxes – Quick to assemble and ideal for fast-paced packing environments, offering both convenience and strength.

Matching Boxes to Products

Your product type should guide your packaging choice. Here’s how to match them effectively:

Fragile items such as glassware or electronics need double-wall boxes paired with protective fillers like bubble wrap or foam inserts to prevent damage.

Heavy products, including machinery parts or bulk goods, require reinforced corrugated boxes that can withstand weight and rough handling.

Small accessories, like jewellery or cosmetics, work best in compact boxes with minimal filler to reduce waste and keep costs down.

Luxury goods deserve bespoke packaging that creates an unforgettable unboxing experience and reflects the quality of your brand.

Take the Guesswork Out of Sizing

Finding the right size doesn’t have to be complicated. Use our KB Packaging Box Calculator to ensure your packaging fits your product perfectly and avoids unnecessary material costs.

Bespoke Packaging for Specific Requirements

When standard options don’t meet your needs, bespoke packaging is the answer. We can create custom dimensions for a perfect fit, incorporate your branding with logos and colours, and add special features such as magnetic closures, inserts, or eco-friendly materials to align with your sustainability goals.

Why Design Matters

Your packaging is often the first impression customers have of your brand. Investing in thoughtful design not only elevates your product but also builds trust and loyalty. A well-designed box can turn a simple delivery into a memorable experience.
