Let’s be real for a moment here—is there anything more bland than a brown cardboard box? You might feel some excitement when you see one on your doorstep, but that’s often because you have no idea what’s inside it. It could be socks from a friend, a cheap marketing gimmick from a bank or car dealership, or a postal service error. We live in a world where a $1,000 dress and a $2 pair of used flip flops are delivered in the same boxes.

Manufacturers these days live in a world where their customer wants more for less, and they want it fast. They often have to make small or custom runs of products in a short amount of time. This is the cost of doing business today, but it can take a heavy toll on a manufacturer's packaging costs.

Void filler—we're not really fans of it. But we recognize that even the most sustainable packaging systems need at least a little bit of it. Sometimes we ship oddly-shaped objects that won't fit in a rectangular box. Sometimes we put multiple items in a box, inevitably leaving some empty space. Regardless, the goal should always be to use the smallest amount possible.

Packsize is proud to announce The iQ Fusion 2™—the latest packaging technology innovation in the family of On Demand Packaging® solutions.

On Demand Packaging® allows manufacturers to make small runs of product without paying extra for small quantities of corrugated cardboard.

The window and door industries are very similar to the cabinetry industry. However, the processes for packing are often very different.

You wouldn't want to have the same kitchen as your neighbors', would you? No! It's almost as embarrassing as showing up to a party with the same dress as someone else. Fortunately, we live in vastly different houses with very different kitchens. A lot of that can probably be attributed to your cabinets. Cabinets come with multiple shapes, sizes, colors, functions, and levels of quality. Most houses have a kitchen cabinet set up that is very different from their neighbors, and many have cabinets that are custom-sized to their kitchen.

Reality is something in short supply when it comes to understanding eCommerce and fulfillment, although people use the two words interchangeably.

A box's most important feature is its ability to keep your packages safe at all costs, but how do we measure the safety that boxes provide?

Packsize customers receive z-Fold™ in the form of large bales that are fed into our machines to provide a continuous supply of cardboard. This allows our customers to produce an infinite number box sizes and styles.

There are many different styles of box designs. This post will talk about some of the different categories of boxes that manufacturers use today.
