O Corrugated packaging has a very important role: it protects, organizes, communicates and sells. Therefore, it is important that your business uses the right type of packaging, depending on the purpose and specifics of the product.
In this article, we will look at the main types of corrugated packaging and what functions they perform.
- By function: transport, product or inner packaging
Transport packaging
They are designed for safe carrying and storage. They are most often of standard shape and size, convenient for palletizing. Main focus – product protection and efficient logistics.
Example: boxes for carrying bottles, equipment, spare parts, food, etc.
Product packaging
These boxes are part of the marketing presentation – through printing, colors and structure, they grab attention and carry a brand message.
They are used both in stores and in direct delivery to the customer.
Example: packaging for cosmetics, shoes, luxury goods, gift sets, etc.
Internals/inserts and separators
Some products require internal organization or protection - inserts, compartments, seals. They can be die-cut from corrugated cardboard and fit perfectly into the main box.
Example: internal dividers for cups, jars, fine components, etc.
- By design: standard, punched and specialized packaging
Standard PCC boxes
The most common form – with flaps for upper and lower shutter. Suitable for transport, storage and basic protection. An economical and reliable option.
Stamped packaging
They are produced by die-cutting, which allows for unique shapes, openings, covers, windows, etc.
Extremely suitable for product and branded solutions.
Example: displays, window boxes, pre-assembled boxes without gluing.
Automatic bottom and adhesive lid
They allow faster assembly, without the need for additional gluing. Especially convenient for large volumes of orders and manual packaging.
Boxes with handles / handles
They add convenience when carrying - they are often used in e-commerce, catering, exhibitions and other B2C situations.
