Box selection is a very critical step in both individual shipments and e-commerce packaging. Choosing the wrong box can lead to product damage, increased costs and customer dissatisfaction. In this guide, with the expertise of Kolici.com, we cover all the details to consider when choosing a box step by step.
Box Dimensions and Product Compatibility
Choosing the right box for the product is the most basic but most critical step.
The box must be suitable for the dimensions of the product. Very large boxes both increase the shipping cost and cause the product to swing inside.
If necessary, the gaps inside the box should be filled with support materials such as bubble wrap, kraft paper or air cushion.
Special size boxes can be produced for your needs at Kolici.com.
Box Material and Strength
Box material directly affects the carrying capacity and protection level.
Corrugated cardboard boxes are the most preferred type in terms of both durability and lightness.
Single corrugated boxes are ideal for light products, while double corrugated boxes should be preferred for heavier or more delicate products.
Weight and test value provide information about box strength. Higher weight means more durable boxes.
Box Selection According to Product Type
Each product's packaging needs are different.
Glass and fragile products → Double corrugated should be used with supportive filling material.
Clothing and textile products → Light, single corrugated boxes are sufficient.
Food products → Hygienic and sturdy boxes that do not come into contact with food should be preferred.
Electronic products → Anti-static bag + sturdy box combination is recommended.
Printed or Unprinted Box Preference
Printed boxes provide advantages in terms of brand awareness and professionalism.
Boxes with logos or warning labels strengthen your brand image during shipment.
Kolici.com produces specially designed printed boxes. If you wish, you can also get special design support for your company.
Box Closing and Carrying Method
High-quality box tape or hot glue should be used to close the boxes.
Boxes with high weight should be supported from the top and bottom with double taping.
Thicker and more robust boxes should be preferred for long-distance transportation, especially for international shipments.

Boxes that are recyclable and do not harm the environment should be selected.
