Structure & product fit

Build the packaging around the product

Packaging dimensions should start with the product and how it needs to be packed, protected, displayed, stored or transported. Internal space, board thickness, closures, inserts and assembly method can all affect the finished structural specification.

01

Measure the maximum product size Record the longest, widest and deepest points, including lids, closures, handles or projecting parts.

02

Define the required clearance Allow the space needed for packing, movement control, protective material or a fitted insert without unnecessarily increasing the box size.

03

Match structure to product weight Product weight, fragility and stacking requirements help determine suitable board strength and structural construction.

04

Consider how the packaging will be used Retail display, gifting, ecommerce, storage, fulfilment and transport can place different demands on the same packaging structure.

MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE

Unless otherwise agreed, always confirm whether supplied measurements refer to the internal usable space or the external finished dimensions.

Packaging materials

Select material around the packaging requirement

There is no single board that suits every product. Material selection depends on structural strength, product weight, presentation, printing, storage, transport and any application-specific requirements.

Material family Typical role Surface & presentation Structural level
Kraft Paperboard Natural-looking cartons, sleeves, retail packaging and suitable lightweight structures. Brown or natural surface with distinctive print behaviour. Light–medium
Folding Boxboard Retail cartons, cosmetics, food, healthcare, gifting and other presentation-led applications. Smooth printable surface suited to detailed graphics. Light–medium
Corrugated Board Mailers, ecommerce, shipping, larger products and packaging requiring increased structural protection. Kraft or white liners with several printing routes available. Medium–high
Rigid / Greyboard Premium presentation boxes, luxury gifting and applications requiring a substantial non-folding construction. Usually wrapped with printed or decorative paper. High rigidity

Printing & finishing

Develop the print specification around the material

Printing and finishing options should be selected after the material and structure are understood. The suitable production route depends on the substrate, artwork, colour requirements, quantity, surface area and intended appearance.

01
PRINTING Choose the print process from the job specification
Digital PrintingSuitable for compatible substrates and projects where digital production provides the appropriate quality and production route.
Lithographic / OffsetUsed where detailed graphics, controlled colour and suitable production volumes justify lithographic printing.
Flexographic PrintingCommonly considered for suitable corrugated, kraft and transport-packaging applications.
Spot / Brand ColoursSpecific colours can be considered where brand consistency or restricted-colour artwork requires them.
02
FINISHING Add surface treatments only where they support the brief
Lamination & CoatingsMatte, gloss or other suitable surface treatments can alter appearance, handling and surface protection.
FoilMetallic, coloured or decorative foil can highlight selected branding or graphic elements.
Embossing / DebossingRaised or recessed areas can introduce tactile depth where the board and structure support the process.
Spot UV & Specialist EffectsSelective gloss, texture or other specialist treatments can be considered where technically suitable.

Product questions

Black Postal Boxes FAQs

Practical answers to common questions about dimensions, materials, printing and specifying Black Postal Boxes.

Ask about your project
01What are Black Postal Boxes used for?

Black Postal Boxes can be used for ecommerce, gifting, subscription, retail and other products where a suitable structure and useful presentation are required. Final suitability depends on product dimensions, weight, protection needs and the delivery environment.

02Can Black Postal Boxes be made to custom dimensions?

Yes. Dimensions can be developed around the product and any required insert or clearance. Measuring the complete product helps establish usable internal dimensions before the structural specification is prepared.

03Which board is suitable for Black Postal Boxes?

The appropriate board depends on box dimensions, packed weight, required rigidity, printing and handling conditions. The product should be assessed before selecting a grade.

04Can Black Postal Boxes be custom printed?

Yes. Printing can be planned around the artwork, board construction and required colour result. Print appearance should always be reviewed against the final material.

05Are Black Postal Boxes suitable for shipping?

Suitability for shipping depends on the board, product weight, dimensions and distribution conditions. More demanding applications may require a stronger corrugated specification or another structure.

06Can inserts be added inside Black Postal Boxes?

Inserts can be considered to control movement, separate components, improve presentation or add protection. Their dimensions must be included when calculating the usable internal space.

07How should I measure my product?

Measure the complete product at its maximum length, width and depth, including closures, accessories and protruding parts. Also allow for any insert or protective material.

08Can you help with the packaging dieline?

Yes. Share the product dimensions, intended use and artwork information so the structural requirements can be established before a production dieline is prepared.

HAVE YOUR PRODUCT DETAILS READY?

Turn the product into a packaging specification.

Send your dimensions, quantity, preferred material, printing requirements and artwork status. If some of those details are still undecided, start with the product information you already have.
