Custom Cardboard boxes

It is not easy to penetrate the market particularly if your business is new. A lot of companies do not consider this factor and do not adopt any “out of the box” technique to capture a place in the market. As a result, most new businesses flop even before they are launched properly. Thus, it is always to have an exclusive marketing technique so that additional customer attention can be attained. Having custom cardboard boxes is one technique that helps in getting customer attention in the quickest way.

Important factors for custom cardboard boxes
Having custom cardboard boxes simply means that you can have your own design theme. Here are few areas which you should work on for getting the best custom cardboard boxes designed.

1. Be sure about the box size

It is important that the correct box size is chosen. Box sizes are selected according to the product type and size. For instance, a cardboard box for fragile products would have sufficient empty space inside. This empty space is stuffed with soft padding so that the product inside does not get damaged while it is being put on the shelf or going through the shipment process. It is not hard to come up with the correct box size. You can even draw rough sketch of the box and end up with the correct size. If you are confused about the correct box size that has to be used, you can view similar products that have been produced by other companies. This would give you a clear idea of what the correct box size should be.

2.The box structure and type

Gone are the days when standard two dimensional cardboard boxes were used for products. These days, we can see cardboard boxes with the most innovative designs and structures. Make a structure for your box. You can make a rough sketch of what you want the box to look like. The product that has to be kept in the box matters a lot as well. Other than that, if the cardboard box needs to carry fragile items, it should have soft padding inside. This would obviously have an effect on the size and structure of the box. If you have a clear idea about the product that would be kept in the box, you would be able to develop the structure accordingly.

Cardboard boxes are also used to carry edible products that can break easily. An example is eggs. If you need boxes for similar products, there should be stuffing inside the box so that there is not damage if the box falls.

3.Working on the design

What is the first thing that catches your attention when you walk into a supermarket? The first thing which you see on the shelves of stores is cardboard boxes. At times, users ignore a quality product only because it does not have an appealing box. Thus, the impact of the box matters a lot and companies who want their products to create a strong quick impact work very hard on designing their cardboard boxes creatively.

The process that needs to be used for designing quality boxes

There is no doubt that you need to think out of the box and work with a different approach for custom cardboard boxes. However, a sequential process has to be adopted in this relation.

● It is important that you have alternate structures for your product box. Having one box option can create problems if it does not go with your product type. For instance, a rectangular cardboard box does is not recommended for round shaped soft cushions.

The Printing aspect

Once you are done with the structure of the box, you need to work on the printing aspect. You need to have a finalized design before the print job is executed. Here are few steps that can help you in this case.

● Hiring a professional printing company is important as an expert opinion is required before the boxes are printed. You can always use your creativity and come up with your own design options but is important to have an expert opinion before it is used.  A professional designer would be able to suggest whether your design is up to the mark or not. He would be able to examine your design and check whether it is matching your product category.

● There are certain steps which have to be completed before you select a printing company.  Is the printing company experienced? Is it located near you? Does it have a good reputation? You should have the questions of these answers before you finalize a printing company.

● A schedule for the printing assignment is very important. How much time would the printing company take to complete the job? Will it provide you with a schedule? Would it provide you with a breakdown of the activities? These are some questions that you need to answer.

● A lot of customers do not monitor the printing job when the company is working on it. This can prove to be a problem at times. For instance, printing companies do provide their customers with a timeline but fail to deliver a progress according to that. If a customer does not keep a check on the progress regularly, he gets a shock at the last moment. Once the printing company starts working on your order, you should visit their premises regularly so that the actual progress of the order can be viewed.

● A good tip is that nothing should be kept for the last moment. Before the actual delivery date of the cardboard boxes, you should check whether anything major is left or not. If you have regular meetings with the printing company, there is every chance that the printing company would complete your cardboard boxes on time.

● It is always good to have multiple designs so that the printing company can perform a comparative analysis. It is not necessary to prepare a deisgn from the start. You can go through the sample designs of the printing company and choose an option after minor changes.

Candy Boxes Printing

Candy Boxes Printing
When you talk about candy boxes printing, your target audience would be children. Thus your printing strategy should be developed accordingly. Here are some areas which you need to consider before finalizing the printing requirements.

1. Size and Shape of the box

If you visit the market place, you will figure out that candies are sold in a variety of boxes. For instance, if you talk about sherbet candies, they are sold in both cardboard boxes as well as tins. Thus, a customer has to be clear about whether his product would be sold in a cardboard box or a tin. There is no doubt that the printing requirements vary according to the size and shape of the box. A logo that may look amazing in a round shaped tin may look completely ugly on a cardboard box. Hence, users have to be sure that the printing parameters are according to the dimensions of the box.

2. Color combination according to the exact product niche

When you talk about candies, a variety of options are available in the market. The deisgn theme being printed varies with the exact product niche. For instance, marshmallows will not have the same deisgn theme as sherbet candies. The printing requirements will be according to the exact product niche.

3. Choosing a state of the art candy box printing company

A suitable experienced company can help you in getting the printing work done according to your expectations. Similarly, if you end up with an inexperienced company with less expertise, the print job can get spoilt. You can use the following parameters to hire an experienced printing company.

● Location

When you search online for candy box printing companies, you will come across several options. However, it is always good to hire a company that is located near you. This would make it easy for you to schedule meeting sessions and hold discussions with the designer. On the other hand, if the printing company is not located near you, it would be hard to convince the designers to come for meeting sessions. If you opt for a printing company located near you, you would be able to talk to known people and determine the caliber of
the company. On the other hand, if you are going for a printing company located far away from you, it would be hard for you to determine whether a company is worth hiring or not.

● Price

Price is an important factor for selecting a printing company. Other than that, do not hire a printing company until you are sure that it is offering the best rates. You can start by filtering out the best printing companies located near you. Have a look at the prices that each one of them is charging? Other than that, check whether a particular printing company has the ability to complete your job or not. Once you have extracted two to three top rated printing companies, you can compare the prices that they are charging and select the most economical option.

●Previous work completed

Do not construct a judgment for a printing company until you have viewed the samples.  Most of us are not patient when we are looking at the profiles of printing companies. We judge a company only on the basis of what it says about itself. This is not the correct strategy. Before you reach the opinion that a printing company would be able to complete the job successfully for you, go through its samples. Check the standard of work that has been delivered for other customers so that you do not get disappointed when the design process of the boxes is completed.

Regular progress meetings and timelines

If you are launching a new confectionary product or re-launching an existing product, you would have a date for the launch. It is an obvious fact that you would need the boxes before that date. Here are some tips that can help you in getting the printed boxes without any delay.

●Your communication with the printing company should be absolutely clear. One of the areas which you need to discuss is timelines. For instance, if you need the printing process to be completed in one week, you should convey the message clearly so that the printing job can be completed according to the needed urgency level.
●You should always demand a breakdown of cost in terms of activities. In other words, you should know why you are paying a particular sum of money.  Ensure that no extra charges are being paid.
Text size and style
The text style and size used on the candy boxes can create a positive or negative impression on the mind of the potential buyer. In case of candies, the product would be purchased by kids. If they are not convinced with the text style or size, the product would fail to make its mark.
Have your own ideas on paper?

It is not necessary that you should follow the recommendations of the printing company representative without any modifications. This is not the case. You can always have your own ideas on paper and hold discussions for them. if the designer feels that things can be improved, he would suggest the changes accordingly. Here are some key tips for putting your ideas on paper.

●Analyze the impact that you want to create. For instance, if you are launching a new confectionary item, you need to think out of the box so that the product can make a strong initial impact. Having an appealing custom box design is an integral part of the process. A buyer would most likely buy your product if it has an appealing interactive design. On the other hand, if the candy box does not have an interactive design printed, the buyer would not be attracted towards it.

●Candies are mostly consumed by children and you should have this point in mind when you are designing the box or discussing points with the printing company. Ensure that the color scheme is bright and the design does not comprise of boring images.
