First impressions are important. Consistent quality and delivery, even more so. In the ever-competitive e-commerce landscape, hitting the right notes with your packaging is crucial. You could have the best product in the world, but if the packaging is bland or the orders get damaged while in transit, you\u2019re back to square one. In this article, we\u2019ll help you make sure your products are always protected using custom packaging boxes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>

\nHow to measure box packaging\n<\/h2>\"Box
\n

To start things off, you will need to get the right measurements to make sure your products fit inside the packaging box perfectly. If a box is too big, the products inside might get dislodged or rattle around. If a box is too small, the product could get damaged if you attempt to remove it or make it fit. Follow these simple steps to get the right measurement for your custom box:<\/p>

  1. Place your product on a smooth, flat surface.<\/li>
  2. Measure the long side of the item, rounding up to the nearest inch.<\/li>
  3. Do the same for both the width and the height.<\/li>
  4. Add 0.5\u201d to 1\u201d to the final measurements (L x W x H) to give enough space.<\/li><\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>

    Once you have the correct measurements for your package, the next step is to choose the right box type. Packola offers three different boxes, each of which works well with specific purposes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n\"Product
