Make sure your box quote is accurate by measuring in the right order:
Length × Width × Depth
Depth always goes last. That little detail matters - swapping dimensions can throw off your cost, or even leave you with the wrong size box.4 Easy Steps to Measure ANY Box
Getting the dimensions right is critical to getting accurate sizes and costs. Length x Width X Depth refer to the inside of the box. The key to getting dimensions right is determining how the product slides into the box - this will always be the depth.
1. Determine the slide direction:
Find the slide direction first - this will be the depth of the box.
2. Measure the Length:
With the opening facing you, measure the longest side (left to right).
3. Measure the Width:
Measure the shorter side (front to back), still with the box facing you.
4. Add a Little Extra:
Add about 1/16" to each measurement so your box isn’t too tight—this makes packing much easier.
Paperboard Thickness Chart
What is Paperboard?
Paperboard is a stiff, thick paper made for product packaging. It's the paper of choice for product boxes you see on store shelves.
We use an SBS paperboard for our printed boxes - it's a high-quality white coated paper with excellent print and foldability qualities.
SBS Paperboard is:
-
Measured in “points” (pt)—the higher the number, the thicker and sturdier the box.
-
Strong, but not heavy: Protects your products without extra weight.
-
Prints beautifully: Shows off your logo and colors in sharp detail.
-
Easy to recycle: Good for your brand and the environment.
