Cardboard - modern packaging

Today, global trends are aimed at reducing environmental damage. Cellophane and plastic are gradually leaving the packaging market, replaced by cardboard packaging. But this is not the only advantage of a cardboard box.


1. Price.

If you compare how much a cardboard and a wooden box costs, then the price advantage will be in favor of the first, with a significant margin. The costs of transporting these two containers will also be different and not in favor of the tree, which is heavier and takes up more space. If you compare cardboard with plastic, then here the first also prevails in terms of price, because plastic containers are more expensive. The cost of cardboard packaging is higher only in comparison with thin polyethylene film, which has completely different properties.

2. Plasticity.

Packaging of any size and various shapes can be made from cardboard. For this, raw materials of different densities are used. You can make the packaging disposable or reusable. Standard boxes can be easily disassembled and stored for next use.

Box size may vary. From a few centimeters, for bijouterie or jewelry, to capacious containers of several meters, in which you can transport skis, furniture and household appliances.

The material also allows the use of various techniques for opening and closing the capacity. The box can be with a lid, with a handle, with different types of closure (not only the classic square).

3. Environmental friendliness.

Cardboard is a recyclable raw material, so the largest packaging companies use it as the basis for their own production. Not only can cellulose be reused, it also decomposes easily in the ground, and does not pollute water bodies and soil the way plastic or cellophane does.


4. Durability.

Dense cardboard has a sufficient margin of strength to protect the product from deformation and deliver it to the consumer in commercial form. Even the smallest boxes will protect the product from external factors. You can additionally strengthen the cardboard container with the help of lamination, outside and inside the box.

5. Freedom.

Cellulose is not only a plastic material for giving products from it various shapes, it is also possible to implement various designs on cardboard, use different techniques of applying paints and varnishes. Also, the cardboard box can be decorated with ordinary embossing or with foil.


6. Design.

Due to the plasticity of the material and the possibility of using a variety of patterning techniques, cardboard packaging can be turned into an element of corporate style. Applying a logo, drawings, partial or full varnishing - this is not yet a complete list to create individual interesting types of packaging.

If necessary, the standard box can be easily individually decorated. Apply a stamp, sticker, adhesive tape with an individual design. Or apply practical marking, which is necessary for fragile products, for example.

7. Wide field of use.

Cardboard packaging is literally all around us. Many restaurants use cardboard containers for takeout. Small businesses that produce homemade sweets, household goods, jewelry, etc. also ship orders to customers in cardboard boxes. Oversized equipment is also packed in corrugated cardboard or boxes reinforced with plastic clamps and wooden frame, if necessary.

Considering all the above advantages of cardboard packaging, it is not surprising that manufacturers of various products choose it. After all, you can order boxes according to an individual design, according to the specified parameters, in 3-5 working days on the Oiprint website, with the help of a convenient calculator and friendly managers.
