Key Features of Custom Long Boxes
Tailored Dimensions
Custom Long Boxes are also produced in different sizes according to the lengths and widths of packaging goods. They come in various standard lengths (8 to 30 in.) and widths (2 to 6 in.). If your product is not a standard size, you may prefer to have custom dimensions made to allow a snug fit.
Materials and Thickness
Manufacturers use strong materials, such as kraft paper, corrugated cardboard, or sturdy boards. Depending on the product’s weight and fragility, either one will suffice. Lightweight objects like candles or rolled papers fit well in 14pt to 18pt cardstock.
Medium-weight e-flute corrugated cardboard, such as rods or tools, is used. Double-wall corrugated cardboard for items that are heavy or otherwise fragile and require extra protection
Custom Long Box Packaging Applications
Retail Industry
When packing candles, posters, wall decals, etc., retailers use Custom Long Boxes. You will find these boxes in customised sizes. The most common are 12 x 4 x 3 or 16 x 5 x 4 inches. They are made of card stock and waveboard.
Retailers usually print company logos, product information, or brand colours on the boxes. Products shipped only at specific times during the year—think holiday candles, for example—go in boxes designed specifically for those times. The packaging for these items is also very thoughtful, and customers appreciate them.
E-commerce Sector
E-commerce companies use Custom Long Boxes to ship products such as yoga mats, fishing rods, and umbrellas. Each box is made from corrugated cardboard, a durable material that can withstand rough shipping.
A yoga mat would fit in an initial 24 x 6 x 4-inch box to have one size work for both, while fishing rods like a 30 x 4 x 3-inch box.
It reduces space in the box, which means lower shipping costs. Plain prints can be incorporated to be in line with sustainability. A few boxes include handles or have perforated edges to help with opening.
Industrial Applications
Factories and manufacturers use Custom Long Boxes for tools, pipes, and significant parts. These boxes have a good strength material, such as double-wall cardboard. This ensures that they can lift loads. A box common for small tools is 18 x 6 x 6 inch—a box such as 36 x 8 x 8 inches for larger parts.
Sensitive electronics are also coated with anti-static. Companies print important information on these boxes, such as batch numbers and instructions.
Food and Beverage Industry
Breadsticks and Candy-Rolled pastry dough are made of kraft paper or cardboard and packaged with a moisture-resistant liner. They are best in a box, approximately 12 x 3 x 3 inches.
To preserve food, we add holes or special linings. Companies print features like nutritional values, names, and certifications. Many businesses also use eco-friendly materials for their boxes, serving the growing need for sustainable packaging.
Health and Pharma
The importance of Custom Long Boxes in Healthcare: These boxes are used to package medical tools, syringes, and test kits. They are built with durable materials for safety. Some examples of standard sizes are 20 x 4 x 3 inches for the test kit and 15 x 3 x 2 inches for the syringes.
These boxes are frequently equipped with tamper-proof seals. Healthcare firms print bar codes and safety instructions on their packaging, and they are sometimes treated with special coatings to keep the content clean and sterile. These features comply with the stringent healthcare packaging market.
Specifications: Custom Long Boxes
Material Selection
The material varies depending on the type of product. Most lightweight pieces use 14pt to 18pt cardstock. Double-wall corrugated cardboard is used for heavy or industrial items that require excellent durability. Kraft paper variants are available, and they are recyclable and coated for eco-friendly businesses.
Box Thickness
The same should be followed with the thickness of the box, which must match the weight and usability of the product. Heavyweight items are safely held in 14pt or 16pt cardstock.
For heavier products, you will require corrugated cardboard. This material is very strong and will not rip easily when weighed down considerably. Reinforced edges increase its durability even more.
Size Customization
Perfect measurements for a perfect fit. Empty spaces are reduced when the product is measured accurately. This minimizes the risk that items will be damaged during transit. Businesses can also add inserts or padding (for fragile items).
