Protect the actual shipment
The product, retail carton, tissue, insert and outer mailer should be considered together. A box that looks good on a table may need a separate delivery layer.

Custom ecommerce packaging for protection, packing and unboxing.
Start with the full journey from packing bench to customer doorstep.
Ecommerce packaging has to work for people packing orders, protect the product through delivery and still give the customer a clear, considered unboxing experience. The retail pack and the shipping pack may be separate layers.
MOQ from 100 pieces · Sample planning 2–8 working days · Bulk planning 13–20 working days after approved specifications.
PROJECT NEEDS
What the packaging needs to solve.
Start with the actual product, sales channel and delivery journey. The box, insert and material work together as one system.
Use space efficiently
Product dimensions, set configuration and shipping destination affect the outer pack size and the amount of void space to manage.
Plan a packaging quoteMake packing repeatable
An insert, divider or defined packing order can help a team place the product consistently rather than improvising each order.
Review materials and insert optionsDesign the first open
Tissue, a card, a retail carton and the product can create a sequence without complicating the packing operation.

CUSTOMISATION AT A GLANCE
Details that need to be planned together.
Share the finished product dimensions, artwork status, expected quantity and destination. We can recommend a practical starting structure.
- Packing system
- Retail presentation and direct-delivery protection can be planned as separate but coordinated layers.
- Custom size
- Developed around the finished product, any retail carton, set configuration and working clearance for packing.
- Materials
- Corrugated board for outer delivery packaging; paperboard and rigid board can be considered for presentation layers.
- Internal support
- Paperboard inserts, dividers, tissue or molded-pulp options can be reviewed around the actual item and packing sequence.
- Print and finish
- Outer print and internal presentation can be treated separately according to brand priority, handling and packing needs.
- Sampling
- A practical sample should review product fit, packing workflow and the whole delivery arrangement rather than the mailer alone.
