If a standard design or box won’t do the job, you may want to consider paying a bit extra and having the manufacturers create a custom design for your needs. Be specific in your request – make sure the manufacturer knows what you are intending to package or transport (shipping boxes), how sensitive the materials are to damage or poor security, and whether you have any additional requirements or expectations.
If you want to package a perishable product (such as food, medicine, or hygiene products), it is important that the manufacturer designs the package to comply with packaging standards. For example, food packaging should comply with the British Retail Consortium food packaging standard, should prevent spoil or contamination, and should ensure the product reaches the consumer in pristine condition.
If your packaging will enclose an item or product (in other words, it will be the packaging which the item or product is retailed and sold in), it may also be necessary to have specific instructions, ingredients, or warnings printed on the packaging. All food items should be adequately labelled to prevent allergic reactions to ingredients and other undesirable effects of consumption. Toys and games which are suitable for specific age groups should also be clearly labelled, and any product which needs instruction or explanation should give as much information as is practical on the exterior packaging.
Once you have drawn up a detailed plan of your packaging requirements, ask your manufacturer for a quote. Make sure the manufacturer is probably accredited, and has staff that are adequately trained to design and produce the product you’re after. Most box and packaging manufacturers have highly trained staff on hand, and are up to date with cutting edge technologies and equipment, so it shouldn’t be difficult to come up with the product you’ve requested.
