Box Size Planning: RFQ Details Buyers Should Prepare for Custom Packaging
Box size is one of the first details buyers should prepare before asking a packaging supplier to review a custom paper box, rigid gift box, folding carton, paper sleeve, paper tube or retail packaging structure.
For custom packaging projects, the useful question is not only the outside box size. Buyers should also consider product dimensions, packed weight, product protection, insert requirements, opening direction, sales channel and whether the package is for retail display, ecommerce delivery or a gift set.
1. Start with the product, not the box
Buyers should prepare product length, width, height, weight, quantity per box, whether the product is fragile, whether an insert is needed and whether the product needs to be placed flat, upright or in a set.
2. Separate inside fit from outside presentation
The inner fit affects product holding and insert layout. The outside size affects presentation, shelf impact, shipping carton planning and storage. Buyers should not assume that one sample size will work for all materials or structures.
3. Choose a structure before finalizing size
A folding carton, rigid gift box, drawer box, corrugated mailer, paper sleeve or paper tube may require different size allowances. The structure should be reviewed before confirming dieline, artwork or sample direction.
4. Prepare RFQ information for supplier review
Useful inputs include product dimensions, weight, preferred structure, material direction, quantity range, artwork status, finish ideas, retail or shipping channel, sample need and destination market.
