Purpose of box making

In general. Mail and delivery boxes as strong as possible. So that the boxes themselves, not damage and the products packaged inside can safely deliver. On the other hand, boxes for displaying products will need excellent back design and clear print quality so that consumers can see the package and be immediately drawn to it.

Therefore, rather than simply thinking of ‘the product that goes inside, the box should be manufactured after considering what purpose the boxes are handled the most during use.

Box Making Cost

Have you decided how much you can spend on the boxes? Will the brand covers the cost of the box entirely, or will the consumer be able to purchase the boxes separately? Without answers to these questions, the cost of making a box cannot be calculated.

Also, if it is difficult to calculate the cost of making boxes, please consider how much the product usually sells. Because the boxes are also part of the product. In any case, as it is a special edition package for a special season, if the quantity is small or if you want to show that it is a high-quality product, the box production cost can be much higher, so we recommend that you consider the box production cost first and decide which box to make.

The ink dries instantly through the light emitted from the UV UV lamp, so there is no need for post-processing, so the working period is short. It’s a short production time and can be print on a variety of materials. So it is suitable for small-volume, multi-variety production.
