There are three interlocked flaps forming the bottom of the box. These flaps are built over each other one by one bringing in strength and robustness. Whether it is a light-weight product or a heavy-weight product, this structure works well with both of these.

Material Selection
Selection of proper material is very important. 14pt to 18pt cardstock is optimal for packaging lightweight items. For heavier items, you use corrugated cardboard with E-flute layers. Even recycled kraft paper, which will prove to be a perfect eco-friendly material for sustainable packaging solutions.
Custom Sizing
Tailored sizes keep the product snuggly locked inside the case. This will create healthy tension that keeps your things from moving when in transport.
Deeper items can be filled by placing internal padding or foam inserts for delicate items. The panels on a 1-2-3 bottom are usually made to be more heavy-duty for added weight support.
