One of the most important things boxes and packaging should do is keep the contents contained inside safe and damage-free. Over the years huge innovations in security and packaging technologies have meant that items are expected to turn up in pristine condition, and as a customer purchasing packaging this should be a level of quality which you demand from your manufacturer.
Depending on the size of the box and the weight of the contents it’s expected to contain, the manufacturer may use wire-stitching or glue to hold the box together. Industrial strength glues are incredibly strong and durable, but wire stitching may provide that extra support if the box is intended to hold cumbersome or heavy items (industrial boxes). Another innovation is the use of foam or polystyrene coverings which can be laminated to the inside or outside of cardboard packaging and boxes for additional strength and protection. These types of boxes should be able to withstand impacts during transit, and should certainly be tear-proof and water-proof. For particularly delicate items, or boxes which are being shipped long distances, this may be a worthwhile option.
The inside packaging used in boxes is another feature which can give further protection to your valuable items and contents. Of course the traditional bubble-wrap and foam or polystyrene bubbles are effective ways of minimising any potential damage, and should always be considered for glass, china, and other delicate items. Inserts and dividers can also be manufactured to custom requirements, and can be made of cardboard, plastic, foam or polystyrene.
