4. Things to note when using cardboard boxes

When using carton boxes, there are some important notes that you need to know to ensure that your products are packaged and transported safely and effectively:

• (1) Choose the appropriate type of box: Choose a type of carton box suitable for the weight and size of the product to ensure durability and safety. Determine what kind of box you need, be it Kraft paper, cardboard, or corrugated box, depending on the specific requirements of the product.
• (2) Follow the correct packaging process: Before packaging, check the product to ensure no damages or scratches. Use protective material like foam, roll paper, or airbags to keep the product safe in the box.
• (3) Pack properly: Pack the product tightly and adequately to avoid movement and impact inside the box during transportation. For water-sensitive products, it is necessary to use a box with a waterproof coating or an additional protective layer on the outside.
• (4) Notes if necessary: Write notes or add instructional drawings on the box’s surface if your product requires specific instructions when opening the box. For fragile products, note “Fragile” to alert the carrier. At the same time, wrap tightly with protective and shockproof material.

By following the above notes, carton boxes will certainly “fulfill the task” of protecting your products while minimizing shipping costs.
