When you want to design boxes, you will use for product packaging or shipping, you need to ensure that they are Eco-friendly. This does not refer just to the materials used in manufacturing the boxes, but also the process involved in creating and delivering them to your doorstep.

While it may seem an unnecessary expense, it is often worth engaging a professional when you want to design box. Such professionals have industry knowledge that will allow them to help you understand your options, more so when it comes to material choice and design concepts that are good for the environment. They can also guide you on how best to limit your costs at a time when raw materials are becoming scarcer and more expensive.

Design boxes tight dimensions

When customizing your packaging, it is advisable to ensure the dimensions are a close fit to the product. this will minimize the material that will be used to construct the box, and thus reduce the cost of production and waste. Making the boxes smaller than what you would get with standard sizing will also reduce the amount of waste generated when the packaging becomes unusable and needs to be disposed of, if not recyclable.

Design box filler

When you design boxes with a tighter fit, there is also the benefit of not needing as much filler. Filler is often necessary when it comes to cushioning and protecting the contents of a box. It fills up spaces and provides extra cushioning. However, some types of filler are not eco-friendly, thus less use is better. Even if they are biodegradable, using less of the material is better for the environment.

Design box supplier

When shopping for packaging suppliers or manufacturers, it is better to do so closer to home. This is to limit how far these materials have to travel as most transport vehicles rely on burning fossil fuels that are not good for the environment.

Advantage of bulk design boxes

Buying boxes in bulk will also reduce the number of times you have to order packaging from the manufacturer. It will not only reduce your costs but also mean less need for transportation to ship the supplies to your premises.
